Welcome!
This class offers insight into our journey for the next 40 days. As we progress, all classes will be around 20 minutes long with a similar vibe or formula. The final pose, Savasana or relaxation, is a place for receiving and integrating the medicinal benefits of the practice. Please stay...

Good Morning! What a beautiful day to begin a path of contentment.
Today, you have seen where we are and where we are headed. Can you be here and be okay?

One of the Niyamas within the 8 Limbs of Yoga is Santosha, simply contentment. It can also be translated as neither liking nor disliking.

...

The truth lies within the 5th chakra, the energetic center of communication and the gateway for energy between the head and lower body parts. When blocked or unbalanced, you might end up over- or under-speaking.

This is where Kundalini Yoga is ideal.

It uses physical movements and breathing exe...

Let's talk about the meditation for this sadhana. It is called Sat Kriya. It is known as a powerful meditation, and its physical practice is incredible by itself.

Sat literally can be translated as truth.
Nam means name, purpose, and/or identity.

Together, Sat Nam vibrates...
Truth is my name, ...

We have been centering with the Gratitude Breath for the last five days. In the Kundalini Yoga tradition, it is considered not only pranayama (breath exercise) but also meditation.

This breath moves you from the mindset of "I have to..." to "I get to..."
So when life becomes challenging, or eve...

In the yogic tradition, saucha is the guideline to cleanse, purify, or clear.

This practice helps connect, sweep, and free ourselves of any attachments cluttering our bodies and minds.

We may experience sleepless nights, joint aches, or a disrupted digestive system when imbalanced. In our cha...

In today's class, we got right up after breathing.

How did it feel?

Very quickly, these few exercises ask you to step into your ability to be steady in strength, flexibility, and balance. The lower chakras are the pinnacle energetic spaces for your physical body.

Remember to modify when neede...

"Truth is embedded within each of our souls, lying patiently beneath the dark clouds of our egos. Seeking and practicing Ultimate Truth in our lives is a continuous process of sifting through the delusions of the ego and aligning ourselves with the principle truths of the Universe. All of creatio...

Let's Talk About Reaching
It means to arrive at, get as far as, and the extent or range of application, effect, or influence.

Our believed truth may put limits on or allow us to expand in life.

My yoga teacher, Trace Sahaja Bonner, offered a fantastic lesson for us to dictate our intellect/mind...

In numerology, 10 is pretty spectacular!
It is the sum of 1 (the individual) and 0 (infinite).
You have infinite possibilities.

10 represents unity, wholeness, leadership, flexibility, and adaptability.

It requires discipline, so how are you doing?

Allow yourself to be honest while letting go ...

The Peaceful Breath
For seven days, we move our wind only through the left nostril.

The brain's left hemisphere is primarily responsible for language processing, including speaking, reading, and writing. It also corresponds with logical thinking, analytical skills, mathematical abilities, and co...

The Kirtan Kriya for New Beginnings

Sa Ta Na Ma is a chant that creates a new pathway. It is one of my personal favorites to direct the mind not only while practicing but also while doing life.

Imagine going for a walk, running, riding a bike, doing the dishes, doing laundry, or while showering...

We are approaching the end of our first two weeks of practice—14 days of showing up to connect, cleanse, and ground where and how we are.

It may sometimes seem too simple, mundane, or ordinary for any beneficial change. Stay steady.

Your mind and habits are trying to convince you otherwise.

~ 2 Week Inquiry ~
No shame or guilt, simply dropping into the truth.
Have you started the practice?

If YES,
Have you plugged into it every day, or has it been irregular?
If it has not been every day, why not?
Whether it has been every day or not, how do you feel mentally, physically, and energe...

Week 3, we enter a space that allows us to move our wind only through the right nostril.

Some of the benefits include a boost of energy and focus while reducing stress and anxiety. It is recommended for times when you need to "wake up!" You can also shift your perspective from downward or heavy...

Today is the day we begin to use Har Hari.
Pronounced hud hadee

Think of Har as being the remover of what is preventing you from creativity, passion, and transformation. It turns on your power center at the Solar Plexus, the third chakra called Manipura.

It is at this energetic center that wher...

"The Shining Gem is the Solar Plexus.

The core of your personality and identity. When balanced, it allows your authentic self to shine brightly. This forms your deepest connections with willpower, self-discipline, and self-esteem. It embodies your unlimited potential to transform thought or ine...

Tolerance is the ability OR willingness to accept something.
Humility is humbleness.

As we continue to sift through and arrive at glimpses of our truth, we must balance the 3rd chakra, Manipura or Solar Plexus.

Here, the ego plays a huge part in our lives, and when balanced, we are directed fro...

This practice is straightforward in concept. So much so it might get overlooked because, depending on who you are and how you are wired, you may have ideas like;
I am bored.
Nothing is happening.
I don't get it.
Therefore, what's the point?

Think about the simple concepts of brushing your teeth,...

Goals.
What happens when we reach little or significant milestones in life?
When you were a younger human, you probably got super excited to be a teenager no longer. We were one step closer to being an adult.

At some point, this excitement changes depending on our circumstances and where and h...

When we conquer self-defeating behaviors, we break through the blocks that allow a true relationship with our higher conscious, authentic self and source of infinite love.

These behaviors consist of mental chatter, physical choices, entangled emotions, and energetic imbalances.

How do you beg...

Heads up, Truth Seeker! It is weird, and once again, it works;)

For the next week, we will be massaging the nervous system with a powerful breath for your subconscious and intuition. As we strengthen our intuition, we can process our subconscious thoughts rather than letting these unwanted thoug...

Balance is a juggling act.

But first, do you know what it feels like in your body, mind, and heart to feel balanced TODAY?

We are great at trying to return to that one time in life when you experienced good. It is only human of us to want to get back to that place.
Can we reflect on what helpe...

Soften.

Can space be created for gentleness and compassion in challenging situations? As you begin this journey, notice if you can soften your physical body, breathe, smile, and direct your mind toward possibilities.

Hardness is a pattern. You can change that with a sweet allowance.
