An illuminating class where we use the principals of Tapas and Tejas from yoga philosophy to create beneficial challenges for the mind and body, then explore the opportunity to ‘earn light’, which will fundamentally change how we show up in this life. Tapas means the stoking of our inner fire, which leads to the purification that builds character and strengthens our will. When you are able to say, ‘my intention is stronger than the obstacles I face; my willpower is stronger than my old patterns’ – i.e. when tapas is rightfully applied – it leads to Tejas (light). This class is designed to provoke thinking and action, and to take its learnings off the mat and into the world to create change.Props (optional): bolster or cushion, 2 blocks

Balance is not something we find, it is something we create. In this flow, we'll explore balance on physical, mental and emotional level.

You will walk away feeling brighter and more connected after this practice.Props: 1 or 2 blocks and a cushion or bolster to sit on.

In Spring, those aspects of ourselves that have been dormant over the Winter months begin to awaken. Nature enters a cycle of renewal, growth and expansion – so does the energy within us.

This is a Yin/Yang yoga practice with pranayama, affirmation and deep rest. We’ll create a deep intention for this new cycle of growth and expansion into the light once more.Props (optional): bolster or cushion, 2 blocks.

Peace is not the highest goal in life, it is the most fundamental requirement. And yet it is so easy to lose ourselves in that endless to do list. This class is an invitation to pause, to practice stopping and go in – to recalibrate and to emerge and orientate from that well of peace from within. I love this quote and it is so true: "Peace comes to us when peace comes from us.”You’ll need a bolster or couple of firm pillows and two blocks for this class.

Tapas refers to the inner fire that your practice builds. The principal is to find the level of Tapas or challenge within a practice that is right for you to build this inner fire. If you succeed then you start to cultivate Tejas. Tejas is the radiant, inner glow that someone emotes that draws people to them; a quiet, effortless joy that radiants for no reason save the fact they are alive. Many people want Tejas, that inner glow, in life - however, they have to be willing to do the practice to build it. This flow is all about finding the right challenge to build that inner fire and then resting back into the lightness of your being.
