Ayurveda 101 – Postponed
Important!
We’ll be postponing Ayurveda 101 until the new year. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Ayurveda 101 is a 3- week course dedicated to initiating a path of balanced practices. Ayurveda offers simple, effective methods and concepts that you can apply to everyday life. Learn how to make decisions based on your individual constitution and daily needs – a holistic approach to full, vibrant, healthy living.
Ayurveda, literally translated to the “science of life”, shows us how to harmonize our bodies to the environment so that we flow with the current of life instead of against it.

Heart Fire: Tending the Flame of Your Sva Shakti
The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. -Rumi
Join a celebratory series igniting the sacred heart fire of our sva shakti – core essence of the Self as expressed uniquely through your vital energy. This experiential 3-class cycle will integrate the living yoga sadhana (practices) to tend your heart fire authentically as the center of one’s creativity, vision, inspiration, wisdom and most of all transforming power of love. Together we will explore:
* The universal and ancient understanding of our heart center from tantra, hatha, and bhakti yoga, integrated with the latest view of our heart’s intelligence
* Vinyasa Flow sequences that awaken the body mandala and heart temple by expanding the range of motion and circulation of the outer house of our heart with the inner space of anahata (heart) chakra
* Integration of tantric hatha yoga techniques of pranayama, sound, visualization, and bhava (feeling states) in asana
* Tending the fire of the sva shakti through meditation and chanting, and releasing the rasa, or “liquid love” of the heart
* Healing emotions or energy in motion through meditations and kriyas (rythmic movement)
* Symbolic wisdom, metaphor, and poetry of the heart from yogic texts
Each practice will include dynamic and meditative vinyasa flow sequences, and can be applied toward Shiva’s 500-hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Program. Classes may be taken individually, or together as a three-part series.
