EmbodyingJoy
Living Yoga Direct Support with Shiva for Embodying Joy in Journey of the Year in these Changing Times.
Embodying JOY · Inner Fire · Dharma Group · small group reflection + 1-1 with Shiva (for leaders, by appointment)
Embodying JOY in the Journey of the Year
Embodying Joy is dedicated to the natural benefits of circulating molecules of joy as a daily, positively contagious, immune-boosting, effervescent Vitamin J: joie de vivre, the joy of life.
JOY is our year-long journey for embodying joy power amidst it all. Throughout the year, we will cultivate curated living yoga sadhanas to tend the fire of our own joy, as the rejuvenating power.
We explore the spectrum of light-hearted, dynamic, naturally creative movement, sound and breath meditation to access the intrinsic joy you were born with, and be a guardian when the winds of change and the responsibilities of life are heavy.

Embodying Joy · Moving Emotions
JOY is the heart of Rasa Prana Flow, with peace in the center. Hasya, the rasa of joy, is this year’s focus, along with Shanti, Vira, Sringara, Raudra, Karuna and Adbhuta, all cultivated in our Embodying Joy · Moving Emotions series for the New Year.
Year-long support for the Journey of the Year
We all can benefit from a “Fan” a person to encourage us to listen, change, or stay on the path. Our group process is an incredible accessible, reasonable support for living your dharma. If you have ever wanted a way to stay in touch with your teacher, to feel supported in your unique process.
