Embodying Lunar Arts - Soma Prana Flow
With Shiva Rea
In both Ayurveda and Tantra, Soma is connected to the inner water, ojas, essence, vitality and amrita as the alchemy of healing like the cascades of serotonin, oxytocin, – the energy that can regenerate our tissues, immunity and joy for life, green a desert, and restore love. - Shiva Rea
This new offering is distilled from 24 years of Shivas’ evolution of vinyasa and is the first module (part one) to offer how to teach lunar vinyasa as a balancing healing approach to transforming stress and tensions, cultivating ojas, and circulating nectar.
We will cultivate the root of Chandra Namaskar and explore meditative dancing warriors in a lunar flow as we learn how to skilfully lead lunar wave sequences. You will receive the transmission of lunar elemental namaskars as movement mediation along with lunar prana vinyasa sequences integrating mudrasanas (long holds with inner visualization).
You will also focus on learning basic prana flow self-massage for embodied knowledge of connective tissues, release of dense muscles, and awakening circulation of blood flow, lymph, and prana flow. Every day we will focus on the art of lunar hands-on assists through self-massage and basic supportive flows from Ayurvedic Kalari-based massage which help lubricate and restore the inner and outer body.
Learn how to cultivate the inner arts of lunar meditation, mudra and mantra as ways of transforming stress, offering peace to a changing world, as we learn to nourish ourselves while still being warriors for peace.
Soma in essence is connected to the mysteries and science of rejuvenation – the innate capacity within life to re-grow and renew.
The greek word for soma is “innate bodily intelligence” within root of the term “somatic” is perhaps interconnected through the contact between Greece and India in ancient times. The many facets of soma are explored in this evolutionary form of Soma Prana Vinyasa.
