Body In Process

With so much media and information flowing in about body image - about unrealistic ideals of beauty, how can we sink into the awe and wonder of the body as it develops over time? Use this class to re-connect with your wonderful form, with your physicality.

Here we encourage our minds to sink into a full heart.
Let it be and allow the love to flow in.

Contact

Sometimes we can feel like our feet don’t touch the ground. We can forget how the body came from one cell and one beginning. Even though there are MANY different facets of the self, we are ultimately whole and sitting within a sense of flow. Here in this heart felt practice where we use the hands as a place of contact to feel into the body, our inner Self and our inner essence of warmth and security. Enjoy coming home to yourself.

Prana Flow

This ashtanga inspired vinyasa weaves it’s way through some traditional sun A’s and B’s into a playful and energetic array of standing poses. Some of my absolute favourite transitions are in here! We’ll look closely at triangle and parsvottanasana. (If your a little tight in your hamstrings go grab some blocks). You’ll be surprised just how many poses are in this flow. Intention here is not so much the poses themselves but how they are linked - through prana! Our primary force, notice how it ignites the senses and generates rhythm and ease within the practice.

Accessing your deep-internal center (aka your core) in a sometimes subtle and sometimes not subtle way.

Embers

Step into your internal glow as we fire up the body in this vitalising and energising power sequence. This practise goes well with ILY Studio Talk - ‘tapas’, notice how moving with an essence of repetition promotes a sense of control through the senses. How fire and warmth created through physical asana leads to purification - a sense of clarity of thought. Stay curious, how does the mind alter from the start of this class to the end? Feel free to taker a longer savasana - you would have earned it!
