Humming
An active heart opening practise to find length and lightness from the lower back. This vinyasa practise ties nicely to ‘Studio Talk - OM’ as we feel into the vibrational quantities of our internal hum/OM/drum. At our most basic cellular structure is the atomic vibration - a simple hum. This dilates through our entire ecosystem, down into the roots of our very cells. Can you surrender to the natural flow of life in this powerful get nourishing vinyasa flow.

Japa
One way of achieving an ‘unattached state’ where we can allow the body to surrender into a state of flow is to find direct mental focus. Patanjali called this ‘the one pointed mind' and he gives lots of methods of achieving this within his ‘Yoga Sutras’. One way is to really focus on intention. One thread to allow other thoughts to melt away. Japa - means to be repeated again and again, an internal mantra to be recited silently within the practitioner's mind during this class. Here we practise this vinyasa flow to soothe our mental state with a one pointed mind.
