Deep Tissue Tantra Gong

This workshop will incorporate asana, breathwork, visualization and a sound journey. Asana will prepare the mind and body, and breathwork and visualization will be used to stimulate (self) Tantric energies throughout the being. A gong bath will complete the experience, infusing the body/mind with harmonically resonant vibrations via the use of a 34″ poly-symphonic gong.

Deep Cogs of Yoga

There is a huge body of potent Yogic knowledge and practices that goes beyond Asana (physical postures) and are beyond the scope of typical Western Yoga learning environments; this workshop presents some of these. To wit: The 8 limbs of Yoga, Pranayama, the 3 Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas), the 3 elements of Mind (Ahamkar, Buddhi, Manas), The Subtle Body, A deeper dive into the nature of Chakras, the 5 Vayus, The 3 locks.. Where applicable we will also engage in practices related to these topics.
