Akasha: The Space Between
This Power Asanas class explores Akasha, the Ether element, the space that holds all movement, sensation, thought, and breath.
We build strength, stability, and concentration through a flowing standing sequence that culminates in Garudasana (Eagle Pose), a posture that asks for both focus and spacious awareness. As the body wraps and twists, we investigate how to create space even in places that feel restricted.
The practice gradually softens into grounding stretches for the shoulders, hips, and spine before moving into a guided meditation on spaciousness. Through breath awareness, stillness, and a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, you are invited to explore the space within the body, the space between thoughts, and the vast field in which all experience unfolds.
Expect a balanced practice of strength, mobility, concentration, and reflection.
