Prana Flow(R) Yoga
Welcome to the path of living vinyasa yoga. Prana Flow(R) classes are breath inspired journeys that offer a full spectrum ("ha-tha") of rhythms from meditative and rejuvenating (lunar) to challenging and empowering (solar) to free-form and spontaneously intelligent flow (sahaja). Every class is well-rounded, cultivating strength, fluidity, circulation, and centering to create transformation within the whole mandala of the body. Drawing from a base of 27 unique namaskars, the cycles of sequences within the class offer a means to explore the fullness of one's self while centered within the flow of breath and a direct experience of prana as the navigating source of yoga sadhanas (practices) and vital living. Taught to soul-enlivening music, Melanie's classes are guaranteed to lift your vibrations and circulate your heart's healing energy as the living pulse of yoga within you!
Prana Flow(R) is a full spectrum, energetic approach to embodying yoga cultivated by Shiva Rea and the Global Vinyasa Collective of Teachers, or "prana guides." Practitioners learn classical and innovative approaches to vinyasa and the state of flow drawn from roots in the Krishnamacharya's teachings, Tantra, Bhakti, Ayurveda, somatics, and Shiva's teaching experience over the last 20 years. A world renowed creative force in the yoga world today, Shiva travels throughout the world offering a vast spectrum of retreats, teacher trainings, and sacred activism projects. A part of the global collective of teachers or "prana guides", Melanie instructs Prana Flow(R) classes, Yogatrancedance(TM), and assists Shiva at various events and teacher trainings.
From Shiva's website:
"Embrace the flow and allow the prana to guide you.
Prana : life-force of creation.
Flow : the state of unified consciousness.
Prana Flow(R) is an energetic, creative, full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of yoga...Students of all levels are empowered to experience prana - the universal source of breath, life-energy and conscious intelligence - as the navigating source of yoga practice and vital living. Practitioners learn classical and innovative approaches to vinyasa yoga and the state of flow drawn from Krishnamacharya's teachings, Tantra, Ayurveda, Bhakti, Somatics and Shiva's teaching experience from the last fifteen years.
Prana Flow is also:
an evolutionary method of embodied transformation and radiant health cultivating inner and outer strength and fluidity, skill and intuition, vital energy and relaxed being, activation and receptivity through balanced and creative fluid sequences (vinyasas), a catalyst for transforming old patterns and paradigms of the body, self and the world to discover the potency and creativity within, a way of liberating the natural flow of the spontaneous intelligence, a cultivation of the art of yoga including movement, music, sound, visual arts and poetry to deepen the flow, a way to ride the waves of breath, change and life rhythms, living, loving, serving life in all forms!"
Ignite your fire & dive into the flow! Yoga is Conscious Evolution~ Keep the Pulse Alive!
Yogatrancedance(tm)
Get your pulse flowing, your body moving, and feel the mojo rising. Emerging from Shiva's studies of ritual dance forms, Yogatrancedance is rooted in some of the oldest forms of yoga found on the planet: dance and collective chant. These ritual experiences begin with an exploration of prana-intiated, breath driven, free-flowing yogasnas and evolve into a fully expressive state that liberate one's body and creative intelligence.
