One Fire Fest - East Coast 2017

Beginning Vimana: Rooted in the rythem of the 26 and 2; this practice brings in the other beginning postures from Krishnamacharya, and Para Yoga. Explore the fundamentals of less familiar postures while practicing your favorites. Learn pranayama, Viloma, and Nadi Sodhana to balance your nervous system. Expect to practice twists, laterals, and counter pose as you get exposed to beginning flow. Learn how to use A-symmetry to heal old injuries, and Dynamic Movement with Breath (D.M.B.) to clear the body, as well as the mind. We will close the class with a short Sun Moon meditation that you can integrate into your own practice.

The Barkan Method Hot Vinyasa Class incorporates Asanas from our lineage in Calcutta into a “Vinyasa” (continuous flow) style adding Upper and Downward Dogs throughout. Hot Vinyasa is a vigorous class, combining upper body strength, flexibility and cardio and is designed for students of all levels (beginner friendly) seeking a challenge. The magic of this class is that everyone is practicing the same posture at different levels of ability and there is an exact position for everyone at every level. Time to Cowboy up!

FLUID YOGA® VINYASA CLASS

In this Fluid Yoga class, we will dynamically link the flowing nature of the breath with mindful, continual movement and creative sequencing. This heat-building vinyasa flow will not only increase strength and flexibility, but also train the mind to be more content and relaxed throughout the most difficult challenges on and off the mat. 

Using the classical elements as inspiration, we will become grounded and refine our balance with the earth, explore flowing movement and grace in the manner of water, ignite fire within our bodies through core strengthening and detoxification, and empower the air flowing within us through breath control and mind training.  All classes end with a guided savasana, to embrace our space element and rejuvenate the spirit.  The ultimate goal is for students to leave class feeling peaceful, powerful and full of bliss.

 

Vinyasa Vimana Style: The Vimana approach to flow holds space for exploring your bodies greatest potential. Through thoughtful progression this sequence will build you from your base up. Each posture will prepare you for the next allowing you to flow with ease through your practice. You will be encouraged to work on strength techniques, or inversions throughout the class. Be ready to practice some of the challenging postures from 'The E84' as the Apex to our sequences. Please know this class is not solely rooted in the physical; so your intention or Sankalpa will play a role in the work we do together. Although this class can be considered one of the more challenging Vimana practices - don't be intimidated! Let Emily show you how to up-level, or down-level a posture so it works for you. This theraputic class is rooted in the balance of your strength, and flexibility; when you have this balance, you have found your stability which is the center of your practice.
