Intro to Chakras
FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
TBA
In this workshop, we will explore the chakra system and the significance of activating these energy centers for a harmonious and balanced subtle body. The chakras are not only psychic energy centers but instrumental in the transformation of mental energy into spiritual energy.
Elka will provide an in-depth introduction to each chakra. Additionally, you will learn about the Kundalini Shakti, a coiled dormant serpent that rests in the root chakra and ascends through each chakra to meet Shiva, the supreme consciousness.
This workshop goes beyond theory. You will get to experience the power of the chakras using BIJA mantras, which are sacred sounds that free the mind, through which you will gain a deeper understanding and connection with each of the chakras.
By the end of the workshop, you will feel refreshed, renewed, and equipped with powerful tools that you can use to ground yourself and tap into the blissful energy that lies within.

Thai Massage is an ancient, sacred, and therapeutic practice that brings harmony and peace into the body, mind, and spirit. Traditional Thai massage incorporates passive stretching movements with acupressure (thumb pressing). The acupressure works with the Sen lines in the body, also known as meridians or channels of energy called Chi. This pressure helps release any blocked energy and allows harmful toxins to be flushed out of the body, thus harmonizing Vata, the wind element within the body. Because Vata is accessed through movement, Thai massage enables the practitioner to bring the body into balance.
Thai massage therapy combines rhythmic massage, assisted yoga poses, and acupressure along the energy meridians.

The myths of the Asanas with Demi Chanriya
TBA
Modern day yoga classes comprise largely of asana, many of whose Sanskrit imagery hold potent histories and philosophies. Mythic Asana is an interactive lecture/discussion that explores these names as gateways to a deeper understanding of what we practice on the mat. Come learn about how to further integrate classical Tantra with contemporary yoga practice!
Demi and Grant are a teaching team devoted to yoga’s evolving expressions, whilst also honoring its philosophical lineages. They are proponents of classical Tantra, and practice in ways that let this entwine with their love of embodiment. Grant’s pathway was first seeded by a meditation practice and now flows through various modalities, ever toward truth. Demi sees movement both on the mat and through the world as dance that welcomes all facets of the human experience. Both hold the intention always to dissolve dualism, and guide practitioners home to themselves.
