Healthy Hips: Set your hips free, embracing newfound strength and grace for a life of fluid, empowered movement and boundless possibilities.

  • Embark on a transformative exploration as we delve into the three essential rooting foundations. Discover how these powerful elements form the key to unlocking the movement potential of your bottom half—the hips. From flexion to extension, abduction to adduction, and the intricate dance of internal and external rotation, we'll unveil the magic hidden within your hips.

  • The secret lies in finding the delicate balance of sthira (steadiness) and sukha (ease). Often, we unknowingly overexert ourselves, leading to challenges in the hips. But fear not, for we are here to guide you toward a harmonious approach to hip movement.

    While you may experience greater ranges of motion, you'll come to understand that what truly matters is enhanced support, heightened awareness, and redefined movement goals. Join us as we uncover the true essence of your hips and revolutionize the way you move.

 

Step into a World of Limitless Movement: Unlock the Power of Your Feet!

Un-limit Your Feet: “Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”- Steven Wright

Take the first step and unlock the hidden potential of your feet, embrace fluid motion, and step into a new world of empowered movement!

  •  Did you know that our feet hold the key to supple, functional motion in our entire body? Fascinatingly, all 5 major fascial lines pass through our feet, making them the epicenter of every direction we take. Yet, despite their significance, our feet often remain underappreciated. Little do we know that they boast as many sensory receptors as our hands or face, granting us an unfathomable processing power for seamless movement even on uneven terrains.

  • As we stand or walk all day, our feet silently support us, but have you ever wondered if they could be our ultimate evolutionary asset? “Much debate exists about what makes us “human”—intelligence, language, cooperation, society, opposable thumbs, and so forth” writes James Earls, Author of Born to Walk, “But the ability to stand upright and move bipedally can be argued to be a precursor to all of them.”

    It's time to unleash the potential within your feet and harness their incredible abilities, derived from literally hundreds of thousands of evolutionary development.

Jouliana found her Roots…

“I feel more calm and connected inside with each training that I take with Konalani. My hips feel stronger, my body more stable and whole. Doing the Roots training has helped me find my ‘ground’. I feel more free. Thank you Abhaya and Satyam, you are the most amazing teachers I could ask for.”

Discover the Freedom Within: Embrace Your Buoyant Core!

Deep & Buoyant Core: Embrace the buoyancy within & Unlock fluid multidimensional motion.

Find your center and redefine effortless movement through your Deep and Buoyant core.

  • When we envision our core, we often think of it as a sturdy pillar of support. However, its true strength lies in its remarkable ability to create and preserve space within the body. Picture it more like a buoy in the vast ocean of movement rather than an anchor. This unique buoyancy is the key to achieving three-dimensional, multi-plane movements that our daily lives demand. Think about it: rarely do we merely bend forward, to the side, or twist in isolation—it's the seamless combination of all these motions, and at the center of it all, lies the core.

  • Unleash the power of your internal root system, where your foundation emerges from the inside out. Embrace a harmonious center that nurtures space within your body and grants you the freedom to move with grace and ease—the essence of your deep and buoyant core.

Awaken Your Back Line: Unleash Your Posture Power!

Back Line Awakening: Discover a world of grace, ease, and revitalized energy as you tap into the hidden powerhouse of the Back Line Awakening.

Free yourself from back & hip tightness while unlocking newfound movement freedom in your body.

  • Tap into the dormant potential of the supportive musculature extending from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head, working in perfect harmony like roots anchoring a mighty tree allowing it to sway and adapt to any storm.

  • Our back line is the unsung hero that opens us up from the fetal position, making every movement possible throughout the day. Unleash the power of this essential support system and say goodbye to chronic tightness and hello to newfound freedom in your body. Feel the difference as hiking up a mountain becomes an invigorating experience, leaving you stronger and more energized than ever before.

Witness Meditation: Embark on a soul-enriching voyage to the Witness state.

Unlock freedom through mindful detachment, and experience heightened clarity, purpose, and fulfillment in every aspect of your life.

  • Beyond a mere meditation principle, the Witness state is considered the silent backdrop of all reality— an ancient yogic practice designed to help you discover the silent roots of your consciousness.

    Intriguingly, these roots are not confined to your feet, back, or core, but rather lie behind every thought, action, and emotion you experience. Often referred to as 'the ground of all awareness' or the "Turya State," this foundational aspect of awareness holds the key to true transformation.

  • Discover the art of witnessing the ebb and flow of your mind, and learn to step back from the tendency to overdo daily activities. In this space of detachment, you will gain a visceral understanding of this profoundly transformative state of being. Contrary to what you might expect, this level of detachment doesn't hinder functionality—but rather it defines the essence of what it means to be truly functional.
