Class Descriptions
WildCore™ Movement & other classes with Creator Brietta Leader
WildCore is a dance based practice that leads the dancer on a path of untamed self-discovery, healing & expression. WildCore blends choreography, conscious dance, breath-work and belonging and is designed for all levels.
Soulful Stretch and Strength is a class designed for those that struggle with yoga and still want to move their body mindfully. This class will begin and end on the floor and move through postures that stretch, strengthen and tone the body, while increasing body awareness. We will work with one breath, one movement cycles that support ease of movement and inner balance.
Prana Flow Vinyasa is a style of yoga that supports you in connecting to your inner rhythms. Each of the namaskars are performed within the breathwave cycle and provide both lunar and solar options, depending on your energy level. The practice is guided with invitations to listen to your body as you move through the 3 part wave sequence. The first, Initiation Wave, sets the tone and warms the core. The second, Essential Wave, is the main body of the practice and the third, closing wave leads us through backbends, counterposes and regenerative inner arts. Every Prana Vinyasa class will synchronize with the subtleties of the moon cycles, the seasonal shifts and the global awareness of how the macrocosm moves to the microcosm and the micro to the macro. Certified with a 300 hour program from Shiva Rea

Ecstatic Dance: First Thursday of the month
First Thursdays of the month!
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey where the music is our teacher. It aims to provide a safe space for a contemplative, freestyle dance that supports individual expression, physical and emotional well being, and community - in a spirit of sacredness and mutual respect.
Most often the music offered is created from DJ Yamuna (Brietta)!
Brietta sets you up with a personal tool or a movement inquiry that can inspire the musical journey. She is sourcing from her years of studying and leading Conscious Dance through the Soul Motion tradition, which began for her in 2001. Take a trip around the world with these global vibes, that inspire all the different aspects of you to be expressed.
Kundalini Yoga with Devjeet
Kundalini Yoga is a powerful yogic tradition that invites you to experience greater levels of awareness and human potential. The combination of breathing and meditation techniques , sacred sound vibrations, yogic postures and rhythmic movements offers a complete and whole practice, which in turn addresses the whole person; mind, body and soul. By balancing all aspects of our being we increase energy levels and overall well-being, enhance perception and intuition and begin to lead a life that is in alignment with our Truth. These classes are about bridging all aspects of who we are and encouraging the physical and spiritual to meet in perfect balance at the center, at the Heart. It is a ceremony of remembering that We are Love. Kundalini is a yoga for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
