Extended Practice – The Elements (in-person)
with Kalyani Hsu

As Mother Nature is coming alive around us, we will use this practice to acknowledge the elements that comprise all outside and inside our individual selves. We will use the model of the elements as described in yogic philosophy.  Our practice will help us recognize these elements, as well as help balance them within.

Asana typically makes up the bulk of drop-in classes, but this extended practice will be different.  We will utilize pranayama, kriya (practices working on the subtle level of energy), and meditation more than is typical of a drop-in class.  The intention will be to go more deeply inward than what we may give ourselves space for in a regular class. Some postures will be present to help familiarize with the elements, as well as to ground and distribute energy.
