meditation & yoga nidra

  • Wednesday nights at 6pm ET, next cycle begins on 11/4

    Registration is donation-based, and enrollment opens monthly.

    Tantric Meditation is structured practice, that uses a variety of breath and visualization techniques to enliven Prana within the subtle body. Over time our dedicated practice develops Shakti— the creative force of vital energy with creates charisma, magnetism, fortitude, and inner peace.

    Our theme for November’s class is Breath Awareness in the spine

    Visualizing the movement of breath is one of the powerful ways we influence the mind and subtle body prepare for meditation. Sometimes this functions mainly as a breath practice, improving the availability and refined flow of Prana. Other times it functions as a Dharana or concentration practice, steadying the mind and improving focus so that the absorbed state of meditation maybe possible. This month’s class will explore variations of breath awareness in the spine, allowing participants to explore the subtle effects of technique and pairing of practices, and practice improving focus in meditation.

    All are welcome! Replay is available for all who register; if you are unable to attend live, you are welcome to participate by recording.

  • Monthly on Thursday at 7pm ET and Sunday at 4pm, virtual with replay

    Next class is 10/29 at 7pm ET

    Yoga Nidra is a meditative technique, practiced lying down in Savasana, allowing awareness to move through the layers of the being. This practice often leads to deep rest and relaxation, and can provide a much needed respite from our culture of “doing.”‍ ‍

    Yoga Nidra can be approached as a standlalone meditation practice or Sadhana, as well as a preparation for advanced meditation techniques, and allows the benefits of an asana practice to be fully integrated. By learning how to move through a systematic relaxation process, we develop deeper awareness of the subtle body and the mind.

    This virtual group meets twice per month and offers a unique, eight-stage Yoga Nidra, with an emphasis on community building, and includes time for sharing and questions.

    Participants will be invited to consider any intentions they wish to be amplified by the practice.

    This class meets over zoom, the practice will recorded and downloadable to all registrants .

  • IN-PERSON October 13 & 27 at 7:15pm in Philadelphia, PA

    Yin Yoga is a floor-based class that targets the connective tissue of the body through long held postures. Chronic patterns of tension slowly release with sustained holds supported by props, while the mind settles and the body yields towards stillness.  Class closes with an extended Savasana, final rest, to seal in the benefits and soothe the nervous system. Class runs 1 hour and 15 minutes.

    This class is held at Hum Yoga Studio in the Bok Building in South Philly (1901 S 9th St Rm 621, Philadelphia, PA 19148).
