Art of Sequencing: Creating Dynamic, Fluid Mandala Flows with Gopi & Rob Hess

Sign up here 🔗 https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/bhaktiyogadc?k_class=792768&k_class_tab=58341

Mandalas are circular, fluid, dynamic sequences that help break down old neurological patterns in both the mind and body. These sequences use repetition and directionality to re-pattern movement, develop new coordination, and build communication between the right and left sides of the brain by requiring practitioners to cross the midline.

This 25-hour advanced sequencing module explores the healing potential of circular movement. When we don’t regularly cross the midline, the left and right hemispheres of the brain tend to work in isolation. Mandala flows engage both hemispheres through midline crossing, stimulating the cerebral cortex and strengthening neural pathways that coordinate movement, balance, and learning.
We live in a linear society—but circular movement shifts our perspective. It helps us experience the body and space not from a straight path, but from a 360-degree awareness.

As you train your body and mind in these new movement patterns and learn to guide others through circular sequencing, you’ll discover a powerful, transformative breakthrough—one that is just as playful as it is profound.

This is one you won't want to miss!

Dying to live

I am praying for my fiancé to live—he is fighting for his life. At the same time, my father has had a heart attack, and I find myself praying that he dies. How strange this feels. What is living, and what is dying? My father is 87 years old. He has dementia. He has been a narcissist all my life, and because of that, his unconsciousness caused deep pain and abuse within our family and beyond....

Under The Cosmic Banyan: Stories and Teachings from the Yoga Tradition 🕉️ Tune in online, virtually or in-person! Or make it hybrid.

May 10, 2026 - Jun 14, 2026 | Sundays, 3:30 – 5 PM ET 📆

Under the Cosmic Banyan is a six-part storytelling series that explores the beating heart of the yoga tradition through its most enduring stories and teachings. Gathering each week beneath the shade of ancient oral tradition, we journey through tales not as distant texts, but as intimate maps of love, struggle, transcendance, and transformation.

This series is for seekers, storytellers, and lovers of wisdom traditions—no prior knowledge required. Come listen, reflect, and reconnect with yoga not just as a discipline of the body or mind, but as a lineage of stories meant to be lived.

Portugal Retreat, Summer 2026 💙 One spot just opened up! Is it yours?
Join us in sacred sanga, your perfect summer sweet escape - let the waters wash your soul.

These retreats are sacred containers where we remember our wholeness, reclaim our voices, and awaken the wisdom already within us. Together, we plant seeds of resilience and beauty, water them with community and shared intention, and allow them to grow into offerings we can carry back into the world. In this way, our time together becomes not just a retreat, but a ripple of healing that extends far beyond ourselves.

📆 June 28 - July 5, 2026 • Join Gopi & Shannon for a Women’s Yoga Retreat in Coastal Portugal 🌊

Over seven nourishing days, we will weave together daily yoga, breathwork, sacred rituals, creative exploration, and reflective time in nature. Whether walking the nearby beaches at sunrise, gathering for sunset circles, or resting in silence under the stars, this retreat is your time—to reconnect, recharge, and rise into your essence.

Let Portugal’s wild beauty hold you. Let your spirit be stirred by the salt air. Let your body feel free, grounded, and alive again. 🌊
