The final day for
w/ Aether 💫

I sat on my thoughts of this all morning. As I taught my yoga class to my journey home. Aether is the great mystery. One many ancient cultures sought to connect with. Through hanblećiya/vision quests, meditation, yogic practices. We can briefly find or feel that connection, but it is fleeting, though always with us. Within our hoćokan/center - we need to peel back the layers & that can be a journey in itself. I recall sitting outside under the stars with my unći/grandmother. She would always tell us we come from the stars & we will take the ćanku wakan/sacred road (milky way) when we leave our physical form. Reminding us we are made up of aether & we always find ways to connect with it. Even the song (by my relative) I am sharing, shares our connection. We are made of earth & stars - living a human experience in a spiritual world. I truly think we forget that.

Within primal flow, the 7 sections, or I like to say pathways, allow us to connect energetics of aether. It can be very subtle or intensely felt. We release, cry, remember. The experience is different. The moment you try to attach to it, it is gone.

Water helps create fluidity & cleanse, air allows us to breath meditatively & expand up, fire burns what we dont need, softs the muscles to relax into meditation, earth nourishes & grounds us - so we can connect receptively to aether.

I have loved hosting this beautiful experience & challenge with the primal flow fam. Reading everyone's experience with the elements was amazing & motivational - thank you for being so open to sharing - I am humbled.

Day 3 w/ .naked.esthetician Fire 🔥

All the elements we have dived into and the ones to come in bring us into present, into life and how they influence us. The fire element is one I find I welcome yet can be affraid of what I will witness within me. I step in bravely & allow myself to be present. It is the biggest teacher. It brings lessons, it is transfotmative, it can scorch us, or us towards others with how we act or speak. Yes, Im a leo sun & Sagittarius rising. My first yoga teacher loved holding us in asans & she taught us the value of it. Anton, reminded that to me. Another reason I love Primal Flow is for the energetic properties of the elements. I look at where our moon is at in the elements & design my classes on that. The songs I use for holding space are intentional. I always say, there is a method to my madness!
Holding in reaching side angle is my love-hate. I feel exposed with the open hip, arms reaching, exposing my heart. I feel as if you can see within. Years of hiding & protecting myself, this allows me freedom, strength & to witness the burning of false narratives, ashes falling, revealing to me - authentic me, to mysrlf. So I can share with you.

Day 2 w/ Air 🧘🏻‍♀️🫁💨

Air can stablize us in our practice. Inhales can help us expand, while exhales can ground us down. It is the energy or prana brings us to life, in action or in stillnes.
It is a part of our thoughts, ideas & language. The breath is calming and stills the mind. It is about lightness, new beginnings, a fresh perspective. Held and moved within - through the heart chakra. In .primal.flow it brings us into the present moment as we begin - we create wisdom between mind, body & breath as we move. 🌀

In life, I love the gentle breeze dancing through my hair. I utilize it to help relieve stress by doing cleansing breaths. The feeling of the exhale is a nourishing release. I can also get short in breath & it can create tension within me. Being aware of those moment slowly centers me in my thoughts and in my breath.

Wićozani -- we cho zah knee
A beautiful Lakota word that evoke well being beyond the physical body. I say this in my classes a lot as we end the practice.

Indigenous yoga teachers, do you use your language in your classes?
