A few words about this Jivamukti Vinyasa Yoga program:
How does one hear a voice from deep within an unfamiliar place? Examine the structure of the place and practice the art of listening. The deepest listening enables us to hear innate knowledge, ergo express our true voice.
Yoga is a proven way to help us understand the true power behind our voice. We will turn ourselves upside down and inside out examining our personal power – love itself working through the instrument of the body.
Self esteem comes with the ability to listen to the innate knowledge of our soul, so that we may act with courage and confidence, from the directions of our heart.
Yoga fans a spark of confidence, joy and ease of action inside of us. But a lack of self esteem can keep us from realising our potential contribution to the whole, leaving us feeling incapable of making a difference, because we believe our actions are too small. To be established in Self esteem is to be in alignment with the purest intentions, the mutually beneficial intentions which your soul sings to you. Yoga is the art of learning how to listen and interpret what your soul sings. If we want to hear what our soul needs to express as our purpose in life, we must take time to be quiet and learn how to listen. And Mani is the perfect place to do this.
We must tune our instrument, strengthen the body, untangle the strings, balance the pressure, and still the empty space. Then, what moves through the instrument is pure, beautiful and uplifting to others, which is in turn uplifting to ourselves as well. Our acts become holy. We can learn to hear, to take guidance from our intuition which comes to us from the whole, from nature, but by way of our inner existence. Our ’Self informed’ acts are born in a still, inner environment, and are a benefit to the existence of the whole together.

About Vocal Improvisation:
Extra Option for one Afternoon: Voice Improvisation
To paraphrase the internationally acclaimed improvisational vocalist Rhiannon, “Improvisation teaches us to look at our options, to keep listening for grace, and when we hear it, to move – now. Moment to moment is all there is, following one breath, one note, one idea at a time.”
That’s the space we work within when we improvise. It takes some attributes to enter that space, but musical experience is not one of them. All that is required is a willingness to try, to trust, to be a little fearless. To play with the ideas presented and just see how it feels and where they take you. To be open to whatever bubbles up from the inside, or that inspires from the outside. To take hold of the moment and give it voice.
Day 7: Chakra 6 – Role of humility in the awakening yogi
Asana Focus: head down, heart up
Day 8: Chakra 7 – The art of listening: Our conversations with Self
Asana Focus: binding postures
