Rhythmic Flow Yoga with Kristen Cooper & The Kunga Drummers
Rhythmic Flow Yoga consists of four elemental practices: Earth, Water, Air & Fire. Each elemental practice is a synthesis of specific vinyasa sequencing & kriyas, along with intentional visualizations, instrumentation and rhythms. As the practice and rhythms build, the action of movement and sound create the power to transform. Kristin guides the practice, gradually leading into a personal prana sadhana, where you will have the opportunity to move into your own free form expression of yoga, while the drummers accompany you. Open to experienced beginners & above.
Earth Practice
Saturday, Sept 20th 1:00 - 4:00 pm
about Earth Practice ~ Prithivi ~ Grounding
Earth practice is a grounding, slow moving, roots based depth practice centered around apana vayu, or downward movement of energy, and the steady, bass heavy rhythms of the djembe and bufflo drum. This practice builds strength, awareness, and stability with a focus on foundation, and hip-openers. All levels are welcome, as we move through a slow, deep vinyasa practice; completing with a restorative savasana and longer period of meditation. This practice is slow, steady, and strong.
Muladhara Chakra; 1st Chakra Root is discussed as a teaching tool for this practice.
Cost $65
Fire Practice
Sunday, Sept 21st 1:00 - 4:00 pm
about Fire Practice ~ Agni ~ Transformation
Fire Practice is centered around the energy of transformation, purification, and passion, with a focus on staccato rhythms-rapid, sharp, and very energetic! This practice can help with digestion and detoxification, and helps the mind to break through habitual patterns. Fire represents metabolism, heat, and the practice of “tapas” or discipline. All levels welcome; be prepared to build heat, sweat and detox as we move through a series of rapid kriyas, along with a yang based vinyasa flow, lengthy relaxation, and kirtan. This practice is rapid, expansive and strong.
Manipura Chakra; 3rd Chakra Navel/Solar Plexus is discussed as a teaching tool for this practice.
Cost $65
Cost $120 Both, 6-CEUs offered.
