Formatted to fit a one-breath-one-movement flow, this is an intermediate level practice sequenced using the principles of Universal Yoga (UY)*. An existing yoga practice will help each student as they enter this class — though all are welcome, regardless of your level or experience! Several options will be offered along the way to accommodate the various levels of practitioners, including modifications and intensifications (always optional). Specific UY experience is not required.

Each sequence aims to target all major joint rotations, stimulating marma points (vital energy points) to activate the entire system and create greater harmony through the sustained flow of energy.

Rather than taking the common linear approach, this class is sequenced in a mandala fashion which involves facing every direction of the mat — honoring North, East, South and West (literally and energetically), as well as belly up, belly down, and right / left side down vinyasas. The intention is to trap the mind in order to stop identifying so much with the illusions created by the thinking mind (ego), thereby allowing us to connect more deeply to our Higher Self.

Happy practicing! 🙏🏼 🌹 🤍
