This hatha yoga class tells the story of integrating and balancing our divine masculine and feminine energy through the story of Shiva and Parvati. Shiva’s meditation was dead without the energy of Parvati’s shakti. It was through the flow of her shakti that Shiva’s meditation came alive. This is a story of passion and love and the uniting of masculine and feminine energies. For her part, Parvati instantly grasped and assimilated the great spiritual practices that yogis everywhere strove endlessly to achieve. 

In this hatha yoga class we will practice dynamic vinyasas in honour of the shakti energy to open up the heart center and celebrate the joining of the masculine and feminine principle. After the story of Shiva and Parvati you will come onto your back for the LUV vinyasa to open up your shoulder, hip joints and backs of your legs. Following that you will come into cat pose for some dynamic vinyasa through cat and downward facing dog. When you come to standing we will focus on some heart openers and then dancer pose. We will come back down to seated for a twist and a forward fold. This hatha yoga class ends with a seated meditation.
