Sensory Activation: Sound

This is a really good chance for you to listen up and hear what your body is actually telling you. In traditional yogic
practice we might use sound to access higher channeling planes, but as we all know by now, I am not so traditional.
So, steering away from the traditional principles of yoga, we will be using sound to stay in our bodies. Our bodies
give and receive sound on so many different levels. We take in sounds external to us and we give out sounds from
the internal us. We use these frequencies as tools of communication, whether we understand their direct meaning
or not; that's the real beauty. Our bodies take in and transmit sound on a complete level, all the way down to the
very core. If a sonic boom happens, believe me, you are gonna feel it.


S
o, scream if you want to scream, groan, mumble, slap the floor, whisper, or just sit in silence. This is your chance to
be a great listener, superb vocalist, and communicator extraordinaire. Even if you chose to remain silent, just know
this, there is always something being said and your body language speaks more languages than you will ever
know.
 Before we  all strive for enlightenment, why not start with understanding your surroundings and self first?
The body is where it begins.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Friends!

Spring has officially arrived

and thus
the birthing of new
and fresh ideas
has taken
place
. At the beginning of
April,  I had concluded my
workshop: Pigeon; which
took a comprehensive look
at the parallel lives of Yoga
and BDSM.

So
naturally, as one life
end
ed, another began. I had
learned that some of the
things we so often take for
granted and neglect are our
biggest allies in both our life
and our yoga practice.  What
might these things be you
ask. Why the senses of
course: sight, sound, taste,
touch, and smell.

I
will be taking an in-depth
look at
each of the senses
and incorporating that into
my classes
over the next
few months. April was sight
and sight deprivation
. This
month will be sound and
sound reverberations. So I
hope you join along and sing
a song and join our jamboree
...
See you real soon.
