Have you ever wondered where yoga postures get their names from? Join me this September to discover the stories behind the yoga poses. Why do we stand strong in Warrior Pose? Why do we stretch open in Hanumanasana? Why do we lie still in Shavasana?
Every asana in yoga has a story.
Behind the graceful shapes and powerful flows are ancient tales of courage, compassion, devotion, and transformation. These aren’t just movements. They are living legends passed down for generations. They offer wisdom to inspire and guide our modern lives.
From September, I invite you to join me for a very special year of yoga. This experience blends myth, mantra, movement, and meditation. Each 90-minute class will take you deep into the heart of a story: the stories behind the yoga poses.
- 🗡️ Fight with focus like Virabhadra, Shiva’s warrior
- 🐒 Leap across doubt with Hanuman’s fierce devotion
- 💃 Dance with balance as Nataraja, the cosmic dancer
- 🐢 Withdraw inward like Kurma, the turtle who holds up the world
- 🌸 Find stillness in Padmasana, the lotus rising from mud
Each class includes:
- A rich storytelling intro grounded in yogic philosophy
