Rediscover your physical and subtle roots, bridging movement and mindfulness for a transformative experience. Through practices like walking meditation, retinaculum activation, and explorations of your back line and feet, you’ll learn how grounding your body unlocks deeper awareness and inner stability.

Turya Consciousness is the hidden current of awareness beneath everything we feel, think, and do—always present, yet just beyond reach. Like the back line of the body in a forward fold, it isn’t something we force, but something we awaken to through surrender. When we stop grasping and start allowing, this fourth state of awareness emerges naturally, transforming the way we move, think, and experience life itself.

With a focus on functional movement, we’ll delve into essential biomechanics—reawakening your connection to the earth while fostering a profound awareness of your inner self. Whether it’s mastering Vitamin G (uneven terrain walking), enhancing hip stability, or cultivating the witness state, this training will redefine how you move through life, both physically and spiritually.

Rediscover the power of your back line through purposeful, integrative movement. From Swimming Shalabhasana to strengthen the glutes, to Spinal Roll-Up Progressions that engage the entire back line, and Single-Leg Bridge to stabilize hips, you’ll transform how you move and feel. Harness eccentric tone in postures like Virabhadrasana 3 and Ardha Hanumanasana to protect your body while awakening deeper awareness and strength.

Being a spiritual warrior isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about knowing when to pause, feel, and reconnect while moving through the world. Yoga often encourages us to stretch our limits, but true strength comes from moving with awareness, not force. Through Anusamdhitsa, the art of pausing to realign while in motion, you’ll cultivate deeper strength, greater stability, and a more powerful connection to your body—allowing you to move through life with clarity, resilience, and the ability to uplift others along the way.

Modern Yoga’s emphasis on overstretching the hips can lead to joint laxity, injuries, and long-term damage, especially for women. Instead of chasing extreme flexibility, this training focuses on mindful movement and building stable strength through exercises like Buoyant Parighasana for balanced hip support and Floating Goddess for integrated, buoyant alignment. By prioritizing stability over stretching, you’ll protect your hips, deepen your practice, and move with greater awareness and ease.

Discover the hidden hydraulic power of your deep core, a network of muscles from your toes to your tongue that creates effortless stability and fluid motion. Through practices like the big toe to glute spiral, pelvic floor integration, and dynamic asanas, this training transforms your posture and enhances your movement. Experience how awakening your core brings strength, ease, and grace to every step you take.

Just as the sun burns away the morning clouds, the heat of inner awareness dissolves the samskaras that obscure your true self. Through meditation, movement, and surrender, you’ll learn to transform past patterns into fuel for clarity, freedom, and an all-pervasive joy. This is the path of true awakening—where every challenge becomes an opportunity to rise, expand, and step into the limitless potential of your being.

Modern life has us sitting for hours, creating tight hips, poor posture, and health risks akin to smoking. But sitting itself isn’t the problem—it’s how we sit and the unconscious patterns, or samskaras, that keep us stuck. Through exercises like Quadricep Glide to release tension, Nordic Rock Backs to stabilize the pelvis, and fluid Eka Pada Kapotasana variations to strengthen and elongate the hip flexors, this training teaches you to move with awareness. By reconditioning your body to move dynamically and efficiently, you’ll restore mobility, improve posture, and rediscover a healthier way to sit, stand, and thrive.

Delve into the concept of Vayu or Kriya Shakti in the Yogic tradition, which represents the driving force behind our actions. Through the postures of hatha yoga and meditation, we can learn to work with this force at a subtle level and access our inner awareness. The class emphasizes the practice of selfless service and the deity Hanuman as examples of unlocking untapped potential in movement and meditation, harnessing the power of Vayu to direct our actions towards our Dharma.

Develop internal awareness while working with the shoulders to prevent injuries caused by their complexity and instability. The class highlights the importance of our shoulders ability to function independently of the axial skeleton, allowing the lateral line muscles to support the head and avoid recruiting adjacent muscles. Through a test and therapeutic movement called "Lassoing," we work towards unlocking 360 degrees of movement while maintaining consistent inner awareness.

This content emphasizes the importance of exploring the deeper causes of postural misalignment before engaging in trapezius exercises. It outlines exercises for activating deeper postural muscles in the trapezius and suggests testing neck flexibility before and after the exercises to assess improvement.

This section emphasizes accessing and understanding the deep core muscles responsible for stabilizing our trunk. Through skillful awareness and slow, controlled movements, our yoga postures can be used to activate and rebalance our deep core stability. The section of class also highlights the importance of quieting the mind and surrendering doership to feel and understand our posture and the subtle support from our deep core.

Dive into a more thorough understanding of the deep core muscles, including the transverse abdominus, diaphragm, pelvic floor, and multifidus. Through a variety of movements and positions of the torso, students will learn how to activate and engage these muscles to provide aligned support for the body. Emphasis will be placed on allowing superficial muscles to turn off in order to re-discover the deep core of support to prevent imbalances and injury. Various yoga poses, such as Parighasana, Anjaneyasana, Vira 1/3, Plank, Table, Lolasana Prep, and Reverse Table will be used as examples to demonstrate how to engage the deep core and functional support muscles.

The second section of the class focuses on achieving dynamic stability in the shoulders through controlled yet free movement of the scapulas. The scapulas are primarily attached to the body via muscle, forming the skeletal and muscular socket of the shoulder. The shoulder joint, with its two pairs of primary bones, the clavicle and the scapula, and more than 20 supporting muscles, is a complex joint system that requires stability for proper function. The class will cover the anatomy of the shoulder joint, including the clavicle, the acromio-clavicular joint, the glenohumeral joint, and the rotator cuff muscles. Students will learn how to achieve scapular stability through the activation of the rotator cuff muscles and the control of scapular movement during their yoga practice.

This section discusses the importance of building stable pathways for arm and shoulder balancing postures. The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) states that shoulder strength is increased by up to 24% with appropriate scapular stabilization. Weakness in the mid and low traps and the serratus anterior muscles can lead to shoulder instability or winging. The mid and low traps help to perform the upward rotation of the scapula, while the serratus anterior muscle is equally important in maintaining scapular integrity while moving the arms and using the shoulders. Strengthening these muscles is vital for efficient, stable, and injury-free movement. The section provides traditional exercises like breathing, serratus push-ups, table or plank rests, and dynamic scapular stability exercises to help activate and strengthen these muscles.

This section delves deeper into scapular mobility, using the mid and low traps and the Serratus Anterior for stability. It clarifies the actions of the scapula, including elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, and upward and downward rotation. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining traction on the ribs and cueing more specific actions of the shoulder joint and scapula, instead of merely rooting the shoulder blades down the back.
