Yoga and Sacred Geometry | September 6-Class Online Series
REGISTER ONLINE
Working with geometric designs is one of the oldest yoga practices. Sacred designs (yantra) describe the movement of energy, direct the psyche and center the body. This month we integrate sacred geometry into each class to ground the body and support spacious awareness.

*This month, all classes are held from 9:00 – 10:30am Mountain Time*
The Square
Friday, September 4th
The square is the most stable and rooted geometric shape. It is linked to the earth element and provides the foundation for the entire body. In this class, discover ways that the square provides stability in the feet, knees, hands, and pelvis.
The Circle
Tuesday, September 8th
The circle (mandala) is the fluid shape that provides a container for the energies of the body. Like a pot or vessel, the circle holds the life force. It is related to the water element and in this class we explore circular movement to bring both fluidity and containment to the body.
The Triangle
Friday, September 11th
The triangle is the defining shape for the direction of upward and downward moving energy. The downward triangle connects to the tailbone, the earth, and the apana (the breath in the lower belly), while the upward triangle points to the center of the skull, the experience of space and prana. In this class we explore the overlay of both upward and descending triangles as in the classic Sri Yantra design.
The Petals
Tuesday, September 15th
Many mandalas feature lotus petals to express the expansion of inner energy. In this class we work with lotus petals along the chakras and in the feet and hands.
The Spiral
Friday, September 18th
In nature, the spiral is the form that enables movement and life. It manifests as rivers, trees, blood vessels and DNA. In this class we will discover many spirals in the body, moving through legs, spine and skull.
The Dot
Tuesday, September 29th
The dot or point is the most simple yet powerful design. Typically placed on the Third Eye, it represents singular focus along with spacious awareness. In this class we discover ways to locate the dot (bindu) on the forehead, back skull, hands, feet and heart.
