Based on the insights and inner practices from tantra, yoga and prana vinyasa flow, we will honor the danda as an instrument of awakening with prana flow namaskaram, body mudras, flowing asanas with the danda, mantras, and prayers to awaken the creativity, abundance, and wisdom inherent in women's bodies, hearts, and lives. As a moving meditation, we will awaken the "inner danda staff" through a dynamic and creative sequence with the outer staff in a grounded fluid method that includes whole body warm-ups, standing prana vinyasa, twists, hip openers, backbends, and rhythmic movement meditation to awaken the inner spirit of the danda. * Experience an awakened understanding of your center - both structural and energetic to be applied to the flow of yoga and life. * Explore metaphors for teaching alignment in the flow and movement meditation. * Awaken and deepen our relationship to the sacred feminine, Shakti- as the source of women's vital energy and creative power * Connect with shakti sadhana (practice) for women to awaken, honor, and embody the sacred feminine for greater connectedness, creativity, inner empowerment and natural beauty. * Guided by Shiva Rea, longtime practitioner of Tantric Yoga, Prana Vinyasa and Kalarippayatu, * Prana Dandas crafted by creator, Demetri Velisarius. co-founder of Prana Danda Yoga.
