Open Heart, Radian Body: A Kundalini Yoga Journey to Awaken the Vitality that is YOU! This is an intentional sequence of postures, breathwork, and dynamic movement designed to stir dormant energy and bring clarity to the mind. Breath practices and meditation guide you inward, creating space for stillness, release, and deep self-connection. Throughout the practice, intention and rhythm work together to clear blockages, expand awareness, and cultivate unconditional self-love.

The class also includes detailed and concise information about the seven chakras, what purposes they serve and how we can best help our chakras move freely and remove blockages in our energetic systems.

Yin Yoga & Live Flute Yin & Flute is a unique, immersive experience that blends Yin Yoga with live flute music and crystal sound bowls, guiding participants into a state of deep relaxation, grounding, and inner exploration. Through slow, meditative postures and the resonant sounds of live flute, this session fosters a sense of peace, balance, and spiritual renewal—perfectly in sync with the themes of transition and illumination.

Botanicals & Breath: Slow Flow Yoga and Sound Bath We'll move through a nourishing slow flow sequence inspired by the natural world: breath like the wind, movements that blossom like a flower. This all-levels practice focuses on grounding shapes, deep stretching, and mindful transitions to calm the body and quiet the mind. As the sun sets, we’ll settle into stillness with a soothing sound bath featuring chimes and other harmonic instruments. Let the frequencies wash over you.

Hatha Yoga This class blends movement and stillness to create a well-rounded experience. We begin by settling the mind through breath and awareness, then shift into a steady flow of asanas - some linked together with gentle transitions, others held to build strength and focus. Breath guides each movement, and moments of pause allow space to deepen into the body. The session ends in quiet Shavasana, helping integrate the practice.

This approach honors the phases of the moon and their influence on our energy, emotions, and activities. By tuning into these natural rhythms, Maramataka Yoga offers a holistic experience that connects body, mind, and spirit with the cycles of nature.
