Prana vinyasa

Prana Mandala Flow is a roots and evolution exploration of meditation as a way of life.

Explore practicing and learning with Shiva in this unique online offering: supporting your practice and teaching circular flow for full-spectrum embodiment and vital living.

We embody this circular power through movement meditation and anchor daily life cycles through our soulful wellness.

Mandala comes from the sanskrit root, “manda” which means essence plus “la” as a vessel or container. In our immersion, we will embody the mandala as our very body, home, community, earth body, cosmic rhythm.

Increased balance, embodied fluidity, creative pathways, joy of strength & flow, big picture perspective are just some of the inner and outer benefits of this practice for all levels.

You will learn both Solar and Lunar Prana Half- and Circular Mandala Flows.

We will study and practice the roots of namaskar in prostration forms as a ritual practice

leading to seated mandala meditation, pranayama, mudra, and mantra.

* Prana Mandala Vinyasa is a solar yoga practice for developing whole-body awareness, tonification and circulation of vital energy in a mandala pattern. Beginning with rhythmic syncopation with breath, movement and awareness, Prana Vinyasa founder, Shiva Rea will guide you into a solar circular flow integrating prana mandala “namaskars” or salutations with intelligent, circular sequencing for wholeness, balance and flow.

We begin with the universal vinyasa of our breath flow and elemental energetic connection within our own ancestral traditions of firekeeping to studying within lineage streams of Shakta Tantra, Krishnamachary, Bhakti, Ayrveda, Kalaripayattu and Odissi Dance.

We return to India twice a year for “Living in Sacred Rhythm Retreats in the Winter/Maha Shivaratri + Fall/Navaratri cycles. See our retreats for more information.
