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.
