WHAT IS NAIASANA?
NaiAsana™ yoga is a cross-cultural somatic practice weaving asana, dance, and flow arts, to ultimately awaken universal feminine power and access innate somatic wisdom, both on and off the mat. This vinyasa of spiral, rhythmic and cross-body movement patterns, often incorporating props such as poi, hula hoops, and fire, allows effortless, joyful, restoration and repattering of the nervous system. In this way, not only does the NaiAsana practice help individuals discover new ways of moving, but also provides many therapeutic benefits.
NaiAsana sequences (called Namaskars) are soul songs, sacred feminine somatic recipes, weaving mantras, sounds and movements from cultures all around the world. These sequences serve as divine feminine neural re-patterning codes that connect us with our primal ancestors and guides showing us the way home to our true selves. In this event, we will practice Pele Namaskar, the first of 108 namaskars, in honor of the birth place of this practice, Hawaii. Come celebrate the fire within as you discover new realms of creative expression and beauty that transforms.
WHAT IS POI?
Poi-dancing is an ancient movement and performance art with roots in the Polynesian culture. Modern poi-dancing involves swinging tethered weights, and sometimes fire, in various rhythmic, synchronized, geometric patterns.
