Embodying Art of Yoga - Rasa Mandala Vinyasa
With Shiva Rea
Rasa is the self tasting the Self – Sri Abhinavagupta
Rasa Vinyasa – Circular Prana Flow & Movement Alchemy: Rasa has many beautiful meanings: in the arts, rasa is the transforming “taste” that brings inner satisfaction to the beauty of dance, music or painting. Within yoga and Ayurveda, rasa is our “inner juice” associated with longevity, joy, devotion, and flexibility. Without rasa, it is said, our experience of yoga and life becomes “dry, rigid, routine”.
Experience a full-spectrum yoga practice intensive into the art of Rasa – realization and sequencing to your life – integrating the essential understanding of embodying rasa from tantra, the arts and ayurveda.
In this teacher training, Shiva will offer the theory and practice of Rasa Vinyasa by exploring three consummate rasas: Vira (strength, potency), Sringara (divine love and sensuality) and Shanti (living peace).
We will experience the “fourth level” of prana flow (after foundation, elemental and chakra) that cultivates the power of alchemical yoga that is sequenced in harmony with the energetic state of the day for activation, healing and rejuvenation to bring balance and “juice” to your practice, teaching and life.
