Yoga Tree of Boise

Join Mantra SImran, Mary Baker, this Saturday, Feb 1st, 10:45-12:00, to welcome in February with a kriya, meditation, and gong bath. The month of February is a time of clarification and holds an opportunity to redefine our boundaries. Kt is also an excellent time to sort out your goals for the year.

Yogi Bhajan often incorporated dance in his Kundalini Yoga classes and taught us that dance was great for the glandular system, nervous system, circulation, brain hemisphere balance and overall health! It can also be interactive and playful making it a joyful connected community experience. Whether you need to shake off stress or need a reminder not to take life too seriously, Kundalini Dance is sure to leave you feeling joyful and sweaty!

Join Mantra Simran this Saturday for Kundalini Yoga from 10:45-12:00 at Yoga Tree as she continues to explore the Pranic Body, but especially the Samana and Vyana Vayus. The Vayus are winds in the body that control specific functions.

Samana Vayu is the center for energetic processing. The main power of this vayu is processing and collecting energy so that it can be used efficiently. Before we can eliminate food, drink, and emotions from our bodies we must first process them, take nourishment, and assimilate. This Vayu controls digestion, balancing and processing all that we ingest. This energetic process controls the assimilation of all energies into the body.

Vyana Vayus primary purpose is to take nourishment from internal stores, such as oxygen, food, and water, and radiate these outwards, facilitating free-flow and efficiency. It is the backbone of all of the other vayus, as it is required for the enrichment of the body after these fundamental processes take place. It also relates to the flow of emotions and information.

Everyone is welcome to attend and have the experience of focusing on these two important winds in the body.
