Sat Nam Sadhana "Junkies" its been way too long, I miss our time together very much! Being back at work and holding space is so challenging however I crave the ritual of rising early to take time and create space that allows us to tap into the elevated consciousness. Allowing us to connect to the divine, our ancestors and ancestor guides. Even in the face of challenge I know the reward of commitment is greater than the struggle so with this i hope to inspire you all to join me in this up coming 40 days sadhana.

“Healthy conflict is love tapping fear on the shoulder, saying, “It’s ok. I got this.”- Priya Parker
Join Racial Justice Speaker/Educator and Yoga Teacher, Dr. Monea, for this 1.5 hour workshop on the gift of conflict in antiracism work.Conflict is inevitable in on-going antiracism work. We live in a world that is shaped by hundreds of years of collective, structural harms and these patterns have shaped us individually. When we avoid conflict or handle it carelessly, we risk repeating the systemic traumas that we work so hard to dismantle. Conflict can be uncomfortable, messy, and challenging but with the right tools conflict can be a real gift.
Come and be a part of this conversation.

Aquarian Sadhana is a 2-1/2 hour yoga and meditation practice that includes an opening meditation or prayer, about 45 minutes of Kundalini Yoga, and then 62 minutes of beautiful chanting. We start during the hours of the "amrit vela" - the predawn time, where stillness abounds and we can tune into our universal connection with all beings. This practice is joyful, uplifting, and transformative.
This month, as a special offering, we will be replacing the traditional opening prayer, JapJi, with our 40-day Meditation for Beaming and Creating the Future. We start at 6 am, yoga will begin at approximately 6:35 am, and the Aquarian mantras will start at 7:15 am.

June - focus on Feet, Ankles and Knees
With Tricia Kull. Offered in person or online
Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and organs. When it is healthy, fascia allows your muscles to slide and glide as you move, but when your fascia gets tight and stuck, it can restrict your movement and breath and even cause pain. In these workshops, we will use tools and simple techniques to release layers of fascia throughout the body giving special attention to a particular area each month. This practice will help to release tension, create space for more easeful movement, and improve body awareness. Everyone is welcome and no previous yoga experience needed to join.
Awaken the Chakras: A 6-Week Series to Free Your Energy

Online
Online
$108 general/$96 members
Online, Six Mondays starting June 6 (no class July 4)| 6:00 - 7:15pm ET All sessions will be recorded if you are unable to join live!
Chakras are powerful energy centers through which we uptake and transmute Source energy into our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. When we experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, our physical and energetic bodies contract and cut off our ability to communicate with Source energy. In this special workshop series, we'll soften, expand, and empower our chakras so that we can harmonize with universal energy. Each session of this series will begin by learning about the chakras and their unique energetic and emotional tenors. Then, we'll weave together yoga asana, pranayama practices, and guided meditation to directly awaken each chakra, and help you discover which of your individual energy centers are strongest and which are blocked or constricted. Each part of this series is designed to build your skillfulness in feeling your chakras, and to deepen your visceral experience of prana moving within, through, and around your energy centers.

Juneteenth National Independence Day and also known as Jubilee Day; Emancipation Day, Freedom Day and Black Independence Day is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture. Originating Galveston; Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865. The day was recognized as a federal holiday on June17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth's commemoration is on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No.3 Union Army; Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas which was the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery.
As we acknowledge this historic day of "freedom and liberation", let us also re-examine our own liberation of body, mind and spirit as African-Americans, Indigenous peoples, women, men, non-binary, parents, business owners, marginalized humans; wanting to live full expansive lives that explore indigenous/cultural spirituality, high education, adventure, pleasure, security, and vast options as sovereign beings. There are more ways to being locked up beyond chains of slavery or even prison walls.

$36 General/ $30 members
Online, with Leslie Howard, founder of Pelvic Floor Yoga™
Leonardo da Vinci stated that “the human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.” Yet each day we take this masterpiece and stuff it into a shoe and forget about them until there is a problem. Feet get tight, toes start to gravitate into claws and then we wonder why our hips are tight. Releasing the feet can make your legs and hips more fluid and learning to stand on your feet more efficiently helps to support the pelvic floor and spine. Join Leslie in this fun and informative workshop. You will leave with ways to strengthen and release the feet and have a new appreciation for these two masterpieces.
