Take a break from the hustle and bustle with a slow flow and move at a meditative and peaceful pace. This is ultimate self-care wrapped into an hour yoga practice. Move lightly and slowly into a deep practice accompanied by elements of bhakti yoga (chanting and philosophy) and breathwork (pranayama)!

Kirtan is an ancient bhakti yoga practice. The practice of chanting excites the system and calms the mind at the same time. Move into ecstatic states through mantra repetition, vibration and frequency, and melody. Through kirtan, devotion and love become the base line of your practice and an element for true inner expansion.
Breathwork or pranayama is the yogic practice of controlling the breath. Breathwork is used to prepare for meditation, and to clear emotional and physical blockages to the movement of prana (life force) and create an overall sense of well-being and connection.
Explore mantra to energize and clear the mind to start your day. Mantra, in the simplest way, breaks the automatic repetition of thoughts that are racing through the mind. When we create a purification of our thoughts the mind spontaneously moves towards higher states of being and thought. As our mind purifies, our actions and relationship with the outer world shift, and we create new, more beneficial ways of living and being. These classes are quick 20 minute sits.

“There are many paths up the mountain but they all lead to the same peak.”
In this class, Spirit & Form, many lineages of yoga are incorporated into one practice. Even though there are many paths within the yoga tradition, they all lead to the Self. The rythmic chanting or kirtan of bhakti yoga is seamlessly infused with hatha yoga and kriyas. The combination of these practices is an element for true inner expansion. If you’ve been practicing physical yoga and you feel you’ve plateaued or your practice feels flat, it’s not that it isn’t working anymore, it’s a sign you are ready to move towards these more subtle practices. At Spirit & Form we use asana or postures as a stepping stone into the higher limbs of yoga to experience life on a deeper and more connected level. It’s through this deep inner connection, a direct result of the purification of body and mind, that we also start to create the transformation of the outer world we all seek. Use the synergy of bhakti, hatha, vinyasa, and kriya yoga to accelerate your practice into deeper and more expansive ways of being and living.
