Himalayan Kriyas for Uplifting the Energy with Kalyani (hybrid class)

About this event

This class is availble in person at blosm studio or online via Zoom. The Zoom link is provided when registering.

Class Description:

In the dark Pacific Northwest winter months, it is good to have tools to uplift the energy

and overall state. This will be the focus of this primarily experiential workshop.

The intention behind this winter practice will be to uplift the energy, bringing more

wakefulness during the dark days of winter. Along with the uplifted energy comes more

frequent access to a natural state of bliss – also important during these darker months.

Those unfamiliar with Himalayan kriyas will be introduced to a variety in the practice.

Kriyas are practices working on the level of energy and can be activating or calming,

although they will be primarily activating and energizing in this practice. They are

generally repetitive in nature, allowing one to experience an expanded state. Kriyas

may be breath based or mantra based.

This extended practice is most appropriate for students having at least several months

of experience with yoga. Please come with a relatively empty stomach and an open

mind! Having lunch is ok, just eat light and early.

What to Bring:

Please wear comfortable clothing.

About the Instructor:

Kalyani’s love for yoga began in 2003 when she discovered the asana (posture) practice of yoga. Overtime, she realized that yoga had much more to offer than just the physical benefits. As her personal practice grew, Kalyani wanted to be able to bring yoga to other people. She completed 200 hour teacher training in the Pranakriya tradition with Yoganand Michael Carroll in 2008. Kalyani’s desire to continue to learn from Yoganand led her to complete 500 hour advanced certification in 2011. Kalyani has been teaching yoga for over a decade and she also completed a 300 hr training under Dr. David Frawley and is an Ayurvedic Life-Style Consultant. In December 2020, Kalyani also completed her 300-hour yoga teacher training with Anand Mehrotra in Sattva Yoga.
