TANTRA: WEAVING THE SPIRITUAL INTO THE MATERIAL WORLD
Tantrics see the material world as a manifestation of the divine. We can reach an enlightened state while still living in the "real" world. In this unique class there will be a short discussion on the tantric world view, then move into a physical practice which weaves more subtle techniques to bring us to a higher state of awareness. The result is balance: just like we need material and spiritual balance, we also need balance when we practice Yoga on the mat.

PRANA VIDYA
Prana is the vital life force, similar to "chi" in martial arts and chinese medicine. Vidya means science or knowledge. In this special class, we will explore prana and learn how to build it then remove any blockages we may have through a challenging yet intelligent practice. Expect to leave feeling like you've exercised but not depleted yourself. The focus is on building the vital life force!

INVERSIONS, BREATHWORK AND MEDITATION
(VIPARITA KARANI, PRANAYAMA AND SAMYAMA)
This rare class will begin with a brief overview of the importance of these deeper aspects of Yoga, then we will use vinyasa to prepare us for longer inversions, breathing and meditation. The ancient Yogis believed these practices were a "fountain of youth" that helped to keep us young and live a long healthy life. A perfect way to end the weekend and prepare you for the week ahead.
