The Heart of Practice | February 2026 6-Class Online Series

February 6 - February 24

REGISTER ONLINE

In these unsettled times, yoga invites us back to the quiet intelligence of the heart. The Katha Upanishad reminds us that freedom comes through “loosening the knots of the heart.” Through gentle movement, meditation, and verse, we explore the heart as both a physical and spiritual center- softening what has been held, widening the inner space of the chest, and cultivating loving kindness not as an idea, but as a lived, embodied experience.

* All classes are held from 10:00 – 11:30am Mountain Time*

The Flame of the Heart – Fri, Feb 6th

Steadying the flame of the heart is an ancient yogic image for remaining centered in times of trial and conflict. In this class, we tend to the quiet inner fire — cultivating steadiness, clarity, and warmth — so that both heart and mind may awaken and rest in a luminous, unwavering presence.

The Ocean of the Heart – Tues, Feb 10th

The thrum of the heart can be felt in every cell of the body, like a great tide moving within us. In this practice, we take a deep dive into the flowing, circulatory waters that pass through the heart — blood, lymph, and breath. As we gently hydrate the tissues through mindful movement and rhythm, we begin to experience the body as an inner ocean: fluid, spacious, and quietly nourished within.

In the Lotus of the Heart – Fri, Feb 13th

The Siva Tantra known as the Vijnana Bhairava describes a practice of absorbing the mind into the lotus of the heart. In this class, we devote mindful movement, subtle sensing, and sensory awareness to attune to this inner heart – lotus. As attention settles and the body softens we begin to experience the heart as a quiet, luminous space of presence and receptivity.

Recharge Your Kidneys, Feed Your Heart – Tues, Feb 17th

In Chinese Medicine, the kidneys are seen as the deep storehouse of our vital energy, and nourishing them is one of the most powerful ways to open and support the heart and lungs. In this class, we focus on bridges and arches to awaken kidney energy, expand the chest, and free the breath — cultivating a felt sense of being both rooted and uplifted, supported from the depths and open through the heart.

Nourishing the Heart and Brain – Fri, Feb 20th

One of the enduring aims of yoga is to bring the heart and mind into harmony. Just as the heart has its chambers, the brain also holds inner spaces — ventricles– that remind us of the fluid, relational nature of consciousness itself. In this class, we explore practices that unite heart and head through mindful movement, mantra, and quiet reflection, inviting clarity, coherence, and a felt sense of inner communion to arise.

Loosening the Knots of the Heart – Tues, Feb 24th

The Katha Upanishad tells of a young seeker who learns yoga and, through it, loosens  the knots of his heart and discovers freedom. In this final class, we turn toward this same unbinding – softening physical and subtle holding patterns around the heart, and resting in the quiet radiance and deep, abiding joy that remain when the knots begin to dissolve.
