Anahata Flow: Anahata translates to unhurt, unstruck, or unbeaten in Sanskrit. Anahata relates to the heart chakra, and invites us into a state of balance, harmony and peace. Anahata Flow is a deeply intentional vinyasa based practice that invites you to slow down, tune in, and connect to the present moment. This class offers a balance of effort and ease, action and surrender. This practice of breath, asana, and moving meditation, starts and returns to the space of the heart. There is enough rush in the world, come to the mat to breathe and move into the space of your heart.

When we learn how to tap into this limitless source of energy that flows through us, we can harness this creative force and direct it to all areas of our life. Come explore the energy of pleasure and exercises to activate the chakras of the heart, throat, third eye, and crown, and sublimate energy into a constant flow of creative life force.

The ancient practices of Tantra {to expand beyond limitation} center around the essence of transfiguration; to see the Divine expressed in this physical plane.

Where does light continue to shine bright?
What hope, dream, vision guides you towards the return of light?
How can you expand your vision and step into the fullness of your inner light?
