Forces at Play

‘Without the spacious ground that is the light of consciousness, steady and still, nothing would exist. Without the dynamic power of becoming, nothing could grow, evolve or transform’ ~ Awakening Shakti by S.Kempton

A strong vinyasa flow which looks into the play between Shiva & Shakti. This dynamic practise works through a series of poses used to challenge you perceived awareness of consciousness versus the constant changing movements within the body. Prepare to build heat with some fun variations of humanasana (splits).
