This series is designed to help you find the aspects of yourself within the gods and goddesses, the characteristics of theirs you desire to embody, and the ways in which we can call on these deities to help you clear the non-serving aspects in our lives, rising to the callings of our heart's true calling.

The deities we will be discussing:

Kali—Transform
Working with the Kali mudra we will face our ego, moving through a spicy devotional practice. Prepare to transform, burning away all samskaras (old patterns).

Lakshmi—Souls Beauty
Focusing on the qualities of Lakshmi you will have the opportunity to come home to yourself, experience the generosity of spirit by freeing up the stagnant energies within the body
Lakshmi helps us to recognize the abundance that exists in our lives, the importance of balancing giving and receiving, and how to recognize our own worthiness to receive blessings.

Durga—Fearless Heart
We will explore a non-dogmatic approach to Ashtanga yoga with a emphasis on Bhakti, using mantras, mudras, sacred story and breath to connect you with your authentic self. Stepping into your Power and owning that it is your Birthright.

Saraswati—Creativity
In this journey we will explore the most subtle of the elements – Ether, Akasha, the space that holds all the other elements. We will flow through an inspiring, creative practice that opens us up to new possibilities and to our full potential. When we learn to invite Saraswati into our lives we start to become conscious creators manifesting our reality.

Ganesha—Remover & Placer of obstacles
The practise will focus on a flow to bring awareness to limiting beliefs and other obstacles that may prevent us from manifesting our Sankalpas (Intentions). Building physical strength, with a courageous heart and clear, focused mind, we can move mountains.

Hanuman—Serve with love
He is the embodiment of devotion and service—the heart of Bhakti Yoga.

Hanuman is the son of the wind and the breath of the heart. He makes the quantum leaps sourced by his inner strength of true devotion. This is the capacity of the yogin to serve from the deepest place of love and humility in the journey of life.

Shiva—Lord of Yoga, The 1st Yogi
Shiva helps us to transform and purify parts of ourselves that we want to let go of, that no longer serve us, transforming old habits or purifying our hearts from past pain. He has the power to lift the veil of delusion and let us see clearly and intuitively where the right path lies.

Krishna—The power pure and infinite potential
Krishna is the embodiment of love and divine joy and destroyer of all pain and sins. He embodies joy and celebration despite having had many challenges in his life.
Krishna is a beloved leader because he sees the good in all and loves everyone.

Expect a soulful journey to ignite magic in your body, mind and heart with the sacred stories and practices of yoga.
