Answering a call from Higher Self ..to create offerings that dismantle the current perception the more is better, advanced postures make you somehow more deserving.

To divest from this mindset that you must act, look, and be —a certain way , to be an Ashtangi, with no room for joyful exploration and expression.

These questions of props or no props…why is that even a thing? Blocks and props do not block the way to enlightenment…to your divine connection.

Lastly, giving ourselves permission to move with breath, to find a refuge in each breath. That is where the growth is…not a so called struggle pose .

Does this resonate ? A calling to you and for you . A deep knowing, whisper of ‘yes’.

We are calling you in -those who what to create the paradigm shift. Some spots left for folks wanting to be a part of all of this …folks with whom I can share all of this and more.

Ashtanga Apprenticeship and Yoga School. We start April 1 Limited to 6. Generous Payment plans offered--practitioner track and teacher track options.

LIMPIA--what happens during our session?

Limpia (Spiritual and Energetic Cleansing Rite).
A Limpia is a Latin American cleansing ritual that help to cleanse or balance the mind, body, spirit and environment.

Our time together will begin with a fire limpia of the space. Then we will engage in plática (a heart-straightening talk) -confidentially discussing what weighs heavily on your heart, body, spirit- in order to begin the purge. Working together, from there, to begin your journey to wholeness.
Your journey may include breath work, guided meditation, devotional chanting, calling in the sacred sprits and winds we will work with, light asana, plant cleansing/sweeps and/or a velación (fire limpia with candles).
Through ancestral guidance, I will make you a personal plant remedio (medicine). Remedios, made by me with prayer and devotion, may include one or more of spray, liniment, salt scrub, or anointing oil. The plant guides used in my medicines are often grown by me, or they are sourced from other Indigenous healers.

I offer various services- Limpias for healings and blessings, soul retrieval, plant medicine , and I also offers shorter sessions by donation.....you can learn more or book at sandeelawlessyoga.com My March books are open and have a few sessions lefts.

This way of being intentional with my energy, my life force…

My mind has been opened and my heart is singing. Giving myself grace to do less, that the work I do is INTENTIONAL and in integrity. Being taught by Decolonial & spiritual🦅] that this is is my as a healer and as a guide to do so—so that when I hold space, I am connected to higher vision.

SLOW DOWN
My mind says no….
My heart sings, yes, PLEASE!

My minds says not possible…
My body screams, but you must.

My mind tells me I am wrong,
And my Spirit whispers, no child, this the way…

the way of the r3v0lution.

Thank you my guide, Decolonial & spiritual🦅] for your teachings and guidance in the sacred container “New Paradigm of Care”. Your work, your teachings continue to shine a bright light for the new way to live.

My deep love for this practice is undeniable ....it has changed my life. We have added it to the Yoga Punx Calendar on Thursdays..both morning and evening.(which means it is by donation!) The evening class is a beginner-focused although anyone is welcome to any class at any time....as we all start at the beginning. I am happy to co-teach alternative Thursday evenings with my friend Nicolas George.

Why Ashtanga?

If you are looking for a practice that is adapted for your specific needs, this may be the practice for you. This method is taught one posture at a time, and the guide will teach them to you in the most accessible and therapeutic way. We like to call it your own special posture—the approach is just for you!

We normalize props and strive to create a brave space for refuge- time for a paradigm shift.

THIS and THIS ALSO

Often, in my experience, there is either or thinking about Ashtanga Yoga. We are flooded with pictures of advanced asana (postures) and given messages that if our bodies can’t make that shape, or can’t take a bind , or our circumstance doesn’t allow our body to do it as it “is supposed” to be look—we are to stop there…sometimes we have guides and teachers who tell us not to use props, walls, chairs or other support. Personally, I don’t buy into that nonsense…..perhaps I am ‘doing it wrong’. In my experience, anyone can practice —according to the current season of their life. These seasons change with age, responsibilities , injury….and also anyone can practice according to what their body needs….it isn’t one size fits all.

Come see how Ashtanga can be fire, water, rest, action ….explore all the opposing forces and meet yourself where you are in this very moment.

Touching toes and handstands are not pre-requisites.

See, Ashtanga can be this and this also. The Ashtanga Program at is now expanded to 6 days per week,…come see what we are about

ASHTANGA APPRENTICESHIP - we begin again.

My Guides are calling. They are saying “RISE UP! - share your heart love, speak your truth, spread the knowledge.
Serve, guide and share this practice in ways that dismantle ableist approaches and CO-CREATE brave spaces.
Disrupt power dynamics. It is time for a change. Shed the notion that ‘advanced’ postures mean advanced practitioner.
That use of props, chairs, walls are somehow a barrier in connecting to the Divine-to our true nature. If we use blocks we are somehow undeserving…or we are the exception, the other, - the thought that ‘blocks create BLOCKS’ or other such nonsense.

Have you been questioning too?
Perhaps you are part of the change. If this speaks to your heart—I invite you to STEP IN. We are being called to create change.

I am honored to share this with you-it has been created with guidance, passion, vision, heart and a full on LOVE AFFAIR with this method, and how it can be accessible and brave.
How the collective can benefit from your efforts. How we shed from our limiting beliefs, but never bypass—to step in, lean in and do the work.

I bow my head in gratitude for the Ancestors and Teachers who came before, to make this program possible.
Especially those from South Asia from which this lineage comes. Without their efforts, devotion, labor, this would not be.

Starts April 2023

Individualized, Training Plan.

DARK ENTRIES is Back, Warriors…..

The space where love lives…why do I doubt your existence?
Your truth is revealed every time I lay before you, offering all of me…it is then that I can trust enough to believe.

Connection to our Highest Vision…is not an easy task. It requires us to do the untangling, unwinding and cord releasing. You see Warriors, what I have learned is often we hang on tightly to what is known—even if it doesn’t serve us well. It takes courage to step through and let go…we may be told it is all high-vibe and love and light, and we get stuck—I know I have.
This is not so…..there is shadow work to be done also, and know I SEE you bravely navigating your journey.
DARK ENTRIES, helps to create a container so you can journey inward-through the shadows to the light,
Held by the Great Mother and bathed by Mother Moon- inward we travel through ritual, song, breath-work, Moon sequence and Spiritual journeywork.

Together we stand in our Dignity and Power, and welcome the shadows. From these shadows we unravel from the blinding. See ourselves and the world more clearly. Step into our purpose and connect to our higher nature. Let go of those people and stories that no longer serve, and unwind, sever and release from the cords that bind.

Balance, right relations and connection. That is the new way.
