Creative Vibration (Spanda) Flow with Rachel

Class description

Connect with the essence and sensation of spanda, the creative pulsation of energy that resides in all beings, inspiring movement and energetic flow. This class will explore the waves of energy that are constantly expanding and contracting, both within and around us, especially during springtime growth and emergence. The subtle vibration of spanda initiates and inspires creativity and connection. When we bring our awareness to this vibration, alignment with the natural world and our personal intentions flows easefully. Through this practice, we will move through a centering meditation practice, a creative and inspired asana flow, and pranayama practices to support connecting with intention and the cycles of nature. Led by Rachel Durben
