🌀 Freedom Flow with April
Inner Coherence for Seasonal Change | 6-Week Online + Recorded Yoga Series

What does freedom feel like — as a lived, embodied experience?
Freedom is a natural arrival when the layers of ourselves settle into coherence — an outcome of inner alignment and the stabilization of our internal and energetic maps, refined through the practice of yoga. Yoga reorients our inner direction and offers us a key to ease during seasonal shifts.

🌿 This 6-week class series is here to support your shift into fall. Each class includes a holistic flow practice infused with whispers of Kundalini and mantra.

We'll lean into the cakra system as a map for progressive inner stability — recalibrating and harmonizing the energetic, astral, and mental layers so you can step into the next season of autumn grounded, clear, and deeply resourced.

🗓️ Wednesdays, Aug 20 – Sept 24
🕘 9:00–10:00 AM MST
Live on Zoom + 1-Year Access to Recordings

What to Expect:
• 6 live weekly yoga classes (60 mins each)
• 1-year access to all class recordings
• Email support throughout the series

This is your invitation to stabilize, align, and source yourself from within — right as the season turns.

✨ New + Free Meditation on Insight Timer ✨

Ayurvedic Sound Formula — For Deep Nourishment: Relieve Overwhelm

This meditation draws on the science and wisdom of Yoga and Āyurveda — a simple, accessible practice using breath, affirmation, and sacred Sanskrit sound to nourish Prāṇa (life force) and Ojas (deep vitality and resilience).

Rooted in ancient healing tradition, this sound formula supports those experiencing:

• Overwhelm and anxiety
• Scattered thoughts or difficulty focusing
• Insomnia or restless sleep
• Vata imbalance (excess air + ether in the mind and nervous system)
• Low Ojas (vitality and inner capacity)
• Nervous system dysregulation from technology and social media overload

It calms, grounds, and reconnects you to your inherent nature of peace — making it a beautiful support for both healing and spiritual growth.

🌞 5 Summer Spots Open: Enhance Sādhanā Prescription 🌿 (now 3/5)

Summer is a powerful time to realign. The extra connection with Sūrya brings motivation, energy, and in the northern hemisphere more light!
With this in mind I'm opening up 5 spots to refresh, redirec and deepen your personal practice with prescriptive sadhana!

🕉 The Enhance Sādhanā Prescription is perfect if you're:

* Looking to enhance your personal sadhana or yogic self-discipline
* Navigating obstacles your regular practice isn't fully addressing
* A past client ready to refresh, evolve, or redirect your sadhana for new realizations
* Wanting to ignite devotion and discipline during the bright, solar months of summer
* Feeling a little dull or uninspired in your personal practice—or your teaching (remember, teaching is a by-product of sadhana!)

Sadhana isn’t just a yoga “routine” or feel-good flow. It’s a precise, energetically intelligent practice designed to work on the astral body, refine the mind, and spark lasting inner transformation. When aligned and directed skillfully, sādhanā can serve as a fast track—an inner highway—to spiritual clarity and embodied strength.

While a great general practice can feel wonderful in the moment, it often leads us in circles and may not cultivate the kind of longevity that brings real results. Sadhana, on the other hand, is a sacred vehicle—one that moves with clear intention and yields an entirely different kind of elevated outcome. Its effects ripple through every part of life, often in unexpected and powerful ways.

Here’s what’s included:
* Reflection Form: To identify your goals, challenges and directions.
* 15-20 min Online Connection Session: To review your reflection form and ensure alignment with your desires.
* Prepared Sadhana: A fully personalized practice crafted just for you.
* 60-min Online Private Session: A detailed walkthrough of your personal sādhanā, covering all techniques, the whys, hows, and any questions.
* 2 Email Follow-Ups: For support as you integrate your practice.

The Sun activates prāṇa in flowers, trees, plants—the miraculous expressions of life all around us. And at the solstice, when the light is at its peak, this activation intensifies.

From a yogic perspective, this is not just a seasonal moment, it’s an energetic invitation.

☀️ The Sun and our Inner Sun (Sūrya) are intimately linked to prāṇa—the subtle life force that fuels stamina, enthusiasm, health, and clarity.
Our upcoming Solstice Celebration of Yoga + Mantra will offer you a chance to connect with that inner brilliance directly. We’ll explore the true yogic meaning of the solstice, not just in theory, but through embodied experience.

And we’ll conclude with a special Gāyatrī mantra to the Sun—not the popular version you may already know, but a more subtle and lesser known variation designed to nourish the inner sun and offer deep healing.
Whether you join live or via recording, this is a time to step into the light of your own Self—fully, consciously, and with care.

Date: Sunday, June 22, 2024
Time: 9:00 - 10:30am MST
Where: Online via Zoom (Or catch the recording)

I often return to this verse around the Solstice — when the light is at its peak.

On this sacred turning of the year, I invite you to join me in exploring the true essence of Sūrya, the inner Sun.

This won’t be a class of mindless repetitions or hurried sun salutations. Instead, we’ll embark on a mindful and integrated journey, one that harmonizes Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva to support the natural emergence of Sattva — our innately balanced, luminous state, which reflects the essence of Sūrya itself.

This approach helps to steady the mind, regulate inner energy, and awaken the śakti, the subtle power of integration and self-union.

We’ll complete our time together with a potent Vedic mantra to the Sun, designed to revitalize health, nourish vitality, and seal in the deeper layers of our practice.

If you’re craving depth, clarity, and replenishment this Solstice… I would love for you to join us.

When: Sunday, June 22
Time: 9:00-10:30am
Where: Online Zoom (Can’t make it live? Catch the recording)
