Yoga Resolution! 
Living a Yogic Life with Ganesha + Psoas Release + the Doctrine of Karma

February 10, Portland Oregon

Yoga is not meant to give you something you are missing, but to resolve what is blocking you from your Self. In this program we clear the inner pathways to bliss, joy, peace and yogici living. Dive into a yoga practice for releasing the whole spine, with a special emphasis on both passive and active release of the all-important psoas muscle! The psoas release is key to living a fearlessly yogic life in every moment.  Practice will be woven with teachings about the 3 sources of karma which influence our lives and the principle of Ganesha as the remover of obstacles. 

​In Yoga Resolution we explore: 
  • Deep Spinal Release Yoga 
  • Tailbone Release to discover security & satisfaction
  • Psoas Release to resolve pain & fear
  • Heart Opening to gather the inner nectar of bliss
  • Mantra recitation to align Karma
  • The Ganapati Principle
  • The 4 Aims of Life
  • Teachings about the Three Sources of Karma
