“And I said to my body, softly, I want to be your friend.” It took a long breath, and replied, “I have been waiting my whole life for this.” Nayyirah Waheed
In this practice, you will begin to gently and profoundly unravel long held tension in body, mind, and beyond with Supreme Release Yoga (aka Śṛy) and Yoga Nidra.
Through the Śṛy methodology*, we will use the support of the earth, personalized propping, gentle physical alignment to in the muscles along your spine and deep within your pelvis.Śṛy soothes the many layers of you, seen and unseen, while decompressing and releasing muscles along your spine — the axis of your physical body and conduit of subtle energies like prana. During the third of class, you will be guided to deeper relaxation and towards the divine within through a yoga nidra practice.
This is a gentle approach to asana rooted in the Tantric understanding of the body as a sacred field of the yogic journey. While this practice is highly accessible due its slow pace, use of props, supported postures, Śṛy is simultaneously an advanced practice of going inward, cultivating spaciousness within yourself, and expanding your capacity for somatic awareness. This release and expansion has the ability to lead you further along the path of your inner awakening, unravel long held tensions both physically and beyond, and invite in a sense of greater availability to life itself.
