Term 1 (4/10) Brahmacharya: The Art of Balanced Power

Are you running on "anxious adrenaline"? This week, we dive into Brahmacharya, the practice of energy moderation. We often think strength means "pushing harder," but true power is knowing how to manage your flame so it doesn't burn out. This class is designed to help you find your "middle way"—learning to be strong without being stressed.

We begin by "plugging the leaks" in our energy with a grounding Bird-Dog sequence, finding our center before moving into a rhythmic Sun Salutation to stoke the internal fire. We then test our steady, quiet power in Plank Pose, focusing on "effortless effort."

The Flow Highlights:

• Bird-Dog to Plank Prep: Gathering your resources and building core integrity.

• Modified Sun Salutations: Moving with breath, not rush.

• The Lioness Transition: Moving from Downward Dog into a focused Low Lunge, then opening up into a steady Side Plank to radiate your power outward.

• Warrior III: The peak of balance, finding stillness in the middle of movement.

Peeling back the layers of "busy" can be scary, but inviting stillness instead of busyness is the key to coming home to yourself. We end with a guided visualization of the "Steady Flame" to ensure you leave the mat refilled, not depleted.
