Illumina’s Philosophy

Each class, regardless of style, will be a conscious physical and meditative journey focused on some aspect of the human experience. Illumina teachers will approach each layer of the journey — from body through to spirit — in a full spectrum approach igniting yogic experiences that dive beyond and through asana (poses) into the heart of what it means to be human.

ILLUMINA FLOW

Illumina Flow is a vinyasa style class with a strong unified intention that is carried throughout the class on all layers including the asana. An Illumina class will feel like a journey with the purpose of illuminating some facet of what it means to be human & offering specific tools for reflection and transformation. Expect mantra, moving metaphor, music, Kundalini elements and shamanic principles to be present in some form. This class is recommended for those with a strong foundational practice who love to explore.

LIQUID LIGHT

Liquid Light is a soulful and rhythmically flowing moving meditation. It begins with an invocation to prepare the body, mind and spirit for the sacred intention of the class and is followed by an extended Namaskar/Ritual Prostration to electrify the embodiment of that intention. Concluding with a brief seated practice, savasana and visualization or meditation, Liquid Light will leave you luminous with conscious energy.

Liquid Light + Nidra concludes with the added quantum rest of Yoga Nidra (guided Yogic Sleep). A guided 30 minute Yoga Nidra to deepen intention and bring healing into every layer of the self, this class will leave you deeply relaxed and luminous with conscious energy and insight.

SAHAJA SUNRISE

Your morning mocktail of spontaneous movement and dance designed to gradually awaken your radiant body. Each session will be garnished with a meditation to set the focus for the week ahead.

 ILLUMINA ALIGN

An Illumina based align class will create conscious awareness to your physical body’s alignment and will allow for the whole self to come into focus and shine. Intentional and intelligent principles of optimal alignment will be taught as well as other powerful tools for self reflection & direction of energy. Class may include meditation and/or pranayama techniques, bringing you into the center of yourself through the portal of the body.

ILLUMINATED YIN

The full spectrum discovery of body and spirit must include the Yin aspect of Self. Yin Yoga is complementary to the very active, flow based “Yang”practices we love.  It explores the depth of the human body’s quiet structural tissues as well as the life force known as Qi (Chi) or Prana that flows through these tissues. Yin practice supports functional mobility and brings health and balance to athletically focused lifestyles. While outwardly appearing to be a still process, Yin Yoga is known to bring awareness to the inner dance of the subtle body. Each Illuminated Yin practice will be a guided meditation through every layer of  being from the somatics of the body to the energetics of the experiential Self.

NUMINOUS NAMASKAR & NIDRA

Numinous Namaskar & Nidra is a deep and multilayered Yogic experience. It begins with an invocation to infuse the mind and spirit with a sacred intention/ theme. You will then be guided into a simple ritual prostration and movement cycle  to activate that intention in the body.  Guided journaling follows to coax you towards clarity of your personal intention (Samkalpa) within the given theme and all is sealed and integrated in the rich and restful process of guided Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep). 75 minutes
*Have a journal and pen available

KUNDALINI YOGA

Kundalini is a highly refined technology of using your body and breath to strengthen your nervous system, glandular system, and clean out your subconscious mind. You will find balance, strength, and a deeper level of focus and relaxation. It is the synthysis of all forms of yoga. Dynamic movement, breathwork, sound/ mantra, meditation, and deep relaxation are all present in a class.
