Movement, Asanas, Breath and Beyond

Service Description

Movement, Asanas, Breath and Beyond. A signature practice combining functional movement, asana, pranayama, and mindful breathwork to reset your energy and cultivate calm. In the journey of self-discovery, we recognize that there are three bodies — the physical, energetic, and spiritual. In Sanskrit, these are known as Sharira (शरीर) (the physical body), Prana Sharira (प्राणशरीर) (the vital energetic body), and Mano Sharira (मनोशरीर) (the mental or causal body). Each layer interweaves, creating a complex tapestry of our existence, yet they remain distinct in their nature and experience. Beyond these bodies lie the five sheaths — or Pancha Kosha (पञ्च कोश) — which serve as layers of our being: Annamaya (अन्नमय) (the physical sheath), Pranamaya (प्राणमय) (the energetic sheath), Manomaya (मनोमय) (the mental sheath), Vijnanamaya (विज्ञानमय) (the wisdom sheath), and Anandamaya (आनंदमय) (the bliss sheath). These sheaths encompass our entire experience, from the tangible to the transcendent. Yet, amidst these layers and bodies, there is one fundamental aspect that unites all — Breath. It flows seamlessly through every layer, connecting the physical, energetic, and mental, grounding us in the present moment and reminding us of our shared essence. Asanas are more than mere postures; they are a dance a delicate interplay between seemingly opposing forces: awareness and alignment, movement and stillness, effort and ease. The breath acts as the silent conductor, weaving these elements into a harmonious symphony. Our goal is to find that balance, that harmony where all these forces coalesce sthira sukham asanam — stability and ease in each posture. In our classes, we blend the timeless wisdom of traditional pranayama with modern breathwork techniques to unlock the full potential of your practice. We teach asanas in a joyful, accessible manner, drawing on years of diverse explorations—some accidental, some intentional each body carrying its own unique story. Our approach honors this story, gently guiding each individual to listen, access, and open at their own pace. Join us to discover the profound connection between breath, body, and soul a journey inward that is as playful as it is transformative.
