Dharma comes from the root dhru which means to support or to bear. From one perspective, our dharma is that which supports and sustains us. Dharma is also that which nurtures us and, in turn, our society. As we practice yoga and gently shed constrictive patterns in our body, mind, and hearts, our dharma (the life that nourishes and sustains us) becomes clearer and clearer and we have less ability to live a life that is out of alignment with…

In the Tantric tradition, the full moon represents the fullness and glowing radiance of our consciousness. When the moon is full, it is said that it drips nectar down into us and reminds us of our inherent light and fullness. Gazing, chanting, and basking in the moon at this time can bring forth deep healing and profound stillness of being.

Find out more »Fascia, Form & Functional Flow: Yoga & The Miracle of Embodiment
The fascial system is an interconnected, communicating tensional network that contributes to our form, physiological health, perception and attitude as well as postural and movement patterns. Fascial architecture adapts to the way we stand, move, think and treat ourselves. Fascia, in synergy with muscles and bones, connect all parts of the body.
