Shiva Rea Comes to DC

Joined by Gaura Vani + the Mayapuri Drummers

We thrive when we find the form of yoga practice that fuels, nourishes and illumines what is needed to evolve our life. How do you practice when you are feeling the natural human emotions such as stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, shut-down, bored, lethargic, mechanical, tense, etc. that inhibit the flow of yoga. How does yoga practice and living yoga form a continual circle of transformation? All of these practical realities of evolving as an adult can center around the metaphor of "tending the fire".

In this in town retreat, you will experience 3 different practices or sadhanas based upon Shiva's innovative Living Yoga Sadhana Program.  Each session will anchor core meditation, prana flow namaskars, and peak asanas within creative and effective prana flow vinyasa sequence developed for each mode of practice. You will leave rejuvenated and empowered to tend the fire of your deepest core.

Passion burns down every branch of exhaustion.
Passion is the supreme alchemical elixir, and renews all things.
No-one can grow exhausted when passion is born,
So don't sigh heavily, your brows bleak with boredom and cynicism and despair -
Let divine passion triumph, and rebirth you in yourself.
- Rumi, translated by Andrew Harvey
