Develop a sense of physical embodied empowerment through a fluid practice designed to reassert your capacity for internal connection.

Challenge semantic division of mind and body to return to a place of wholeness where magic happens. Based on vinyasa Krama, functional mobility, and other powerful forms of Yoga, these classes are intended to guide you into the essence of your being through a deeply experiential practice, where the focus is not the postures or the flow, but rather, the subtle and deeper personal expression of the form (asana) which we can access through presence and awareness.
