YOGA OFFERINGS
My goal in practice is to create a sāttvic (equanimous) state through the portal of tapas (discipline). My asana classes blend many styles of yoga including Ashtanga, Ghosh, Kundalini, Katonah, and Dharma yoga. I believe that incorporating elements from several linages bridges gaps in yoga traditions and creates a practice that is both inclusive, steeped in tradition and modern.
The main tenants that I focus on are, breath, dṛṣṭi (gaze) and bandha (energetic / physical locks). When these three forces are applied with intention and focus, transformation is possible. All of classes also include mantra, prānāyāma, kriyā + meditation.
Satsanga Sādhanā
Satsanga Sādhanā is a transformative 45-minute seated practice that intricately weaves together meditation, mantra, prānāyāma, and kriyā techniques. This music forward practice integrates various lineages and has been synthesized by Tony Lupinacci. Each class is framed by a Sankalpā or intention. By tailoring the rhythm of the breath to the beat of the music students are invited on a cathartic exploration of the Self.
