Ananda - Blissful Mantra Yoga Flow

Blissful Mantra Yoga Flow is a soulful journey to ignite magic in your body, mind and heart with music, Vedic wisdom and creative choreography of dynamic asana flow. We will begin class with devotional poetry and mantra music accompanied by tropical ukulele and native charango. Followed by fluid wave of movements blended into a garland of poses on a thread of breath. Fluid vinyasa choreography movements remind us of the temporary nature of our lives, circumstances, and experiences. Music and mantra evokes innate feelings of Love, Compassion, and Gratitude. And for a dessert, relax and restore with an extended Shavasana, guided Loving-Kindness meditation with lush tapestry of soothing sound bath on the background.

Ignite magic in your journey of life.
