Spanda Yoga

Spanda Yoga Exploration Inspired by Rumi

A Breathe, Laugh, Play© Yoga Series of Movement & Meditation

In ancient yoga tradition, Spanda is the pulse of life, the sacred tremor of consciousness. This four week series will explore the miracle of the breath and the flow of circular, unfolding movement as the foundation and manifestation of the pulse of our life experience. The intention of our practice is to cultivate a playful, enlivened spirit, unafraid of freedom.

Each class will explore a spectrum of subtle to large movement, miraculous breathing, tandava (yoga dance), and deep rest. There will be time for reflection, questions, and a discussion of how to allow our practices to manifest “in real life.” Chairs will be available to adapt movements to suit your needs. No prior yoga experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome.

What to bring:

Please bring your curiosity and a willingness to try new approaches to old practices. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in and be prepared to practice in bare feet. If you get the most out of class through writing or drawing, please bring a journal to use during quiet reflection time. I recommend bringing any and all yoga props you love: mat, blocks, bolsters, blankets, etc. These items are not required, but having soft supports during relaxation can create deep levels of comfort and rest.
