WHAT IS ASHAYA YOGA?

Ashaya Yoga is an alignment-based, heart-centered method that builds strength, flexibility, and balance, along with heart wisdom that empowers you to create a life of fulfillment and joy. Ashaya Yoga emphasizes safety and is accessible to all levels of yogis. Variations are given to accommodate individual needs and limitations. Students are encouraged to work comfortably at their own level and ability. Ashaya is a Sanskrit word that means abode of the heart. Ashaya Yoga brings about a flowing integration of all five elements that leave you feeling strong, confident, peaceful, openhearted, and ready to engage with life wholeheartedly from a place of worthiness.

Friday 630-830 p.m. Open Sky: Bask in Your Vastness

Open the sky element. Akasha, Sanskrit for space or sky, is the highest and most subtle of the five elements. We live within this vast and unbounded freedom of the sky that is filled with all possibilities. Practice includes warm-ups, standing poses, hip openers, backbends, forward bends, twists, and relaxation.

Saturday 10-1230 p.m. Engage Earth: Become Grounded in Who You Are

Ground yourself in the earth element. Prithvi, Sanskrit for earth, is the most solid and limited of the five elements. Ground yourself in the reality of who you are. Practice includes warmups, standing poses, balancing poses, core strengtheners, backbends, and relaxation.

Saturday, 2-430 p.m. Align Water and Fire: Flow with What You Truly Desire

Align the water and fire elements. Ap, Sanskrit for water, and Agni, Sanskrit for fire, interweave together to form a powerful blend of sweetness and longing. Water flows around obstacles and returns to source. Fire heats and purifies the body and is a powerful force of longing for freedom. Practice includes warmups, hip openers, leg stretches, forward bends, twists, and Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), which is a deeply nourishing, restorative guided relaxation.

Sunday 900-1130 a.m. Expand into Fullness: Breathe Your Dreams into Reality

Expand your air element. Vayu, Sanskrit for air, is your capacity to expand beyond previously held limits and to let go of what no longer serves you. Expand your reach and envision the world you wish to create. Practice includes warmups, deep core work, hip openers, backbends, twists, and a deep relaxation to integrate all five elements.
