Unique Asanas
A long-term practice is all about continually refining even the most basic poses. As your body awareness improves, alignment becomes your touchstone. When you practice asana consistently over time, you become stronger, more flexible, and able to access increasingly challenging poses. While you take yourself through these trials, you are urged to find inner stability from the 7 virtues that lie within. As you micro-adjust your external alignment, you can fine-tune your inner alignment by drawing awareness to your inner landscape of feelings and virtues in every pose.
Blindfold Yoga
Practising blindfold yoga is a chance to deepen your practice, find trust in yourself, and dig up the courage to try something new. When sight is removed from your yoga practice, there’s no choice but to turn inward and heighten your internal senses.
The present moment will be magnified and you will tune deeper into feeling and hearing the sensations of your body and inner dialogue. You will notice that the need for focus and presence is much greater than usual. If your mind shifts or wanders at all from the present, you’ll feel lost. Take this as an opportunity to find approval from within yourself. After all, the purpose of the practice of yoga is to connect to your deeper self and feel a sense of renewed confidence from within.
Prolonged Pranayama
Breath is considered the most important form of prana – the flow of energy in the body and a link between the body, mind and spirit. Pranayama significantly reduces anxiety levels and stimulates the brain areas involved in emotion processing, attention, and awareness. Through controlling the in and out-flow of breath, the mind becomes calmer and with this purification, the 7 virtues can manifest.
Deeper Meditation
Participants will explore the tools to tap into an inner powerhouse of peace that is under their own control. This program is for anyone who is looking to establish a consistent meditation practice that encourages physical vibrancy, mental clarity, and emotional stability. Participants will learn to identify and direct the currents of energy in their body and will discover an intuitive and individualized approach to creating inner harmony.

Earth
The most dense of all the elements, earth makes up the solid matter of the universe. The earth element is cool, heavy, rooted, and stable. It also represents the structures of our bodies—bones, flesh, skin—and helps give us shape. This module covers yogic flows to ground yourself externally and internally to the Earth. Watch as the body, mind and energies calm down, slow down and come back to the present moment.
Water
The water element helps us connect to our feelings and emotions. It is soft, soothing, cleansing, sustaining and nourishing. This elemental flow is aimed at present moment awareness by mimicking the movements of a flowing river. Cultivate an open mind and flexible body as you experience a fluid, water-like flow.
Fire
The fire element represents heat, light, digestion, metabolism and transformation. Fire fuels our sense of independence and motivation, and when our inner flames are stoked it provides energy to the body. We know our fire is in balance when we easily tap into all the emotions associated with power: inner strength, confidence, discipline, motivation and change. This yogic flow will build fire in the belly by challenging the body to explore new asanas and expanding the mind to embrace uncharted territory.
Air
Air represents all forms of motion, including blood circulation, breath, thoughts and movement. The body tends to feels heavy from stress and negativity, while the mind can be weighed down by a constant stream of thoughts. This flow is programmed to momentarily pause the mental activity and encourage the body and mind to feel light like a cloud.
Space
The most subtle of the elements, ether, or space, is all about expansion and openness. This element governs the space between and within our cells and internal organs. Correct alignment in yoga poses plays a crucial role in creating enough space within the body. The ether flow will include deep stretches and focused breathwork to clear out blocked channels. This fosters positivity, clear communication and enhanced expression.
