Kula Weekly Classes

Focus on the art and practice of living from the ultimate support of Being. Our work endeavors to clear away the distractions of the mind and the imbalances of the body that inhibit the recognition and expereince of one's true nature.

The body is used as a vehicle to increase one's awareness perception.

By directly experiencing the anatomy of the body, one can expect to unwind, recognize and recover the integrity of the body's systems (such as the musculoskeletal, respiratory, neuroendocrine, fluid, organic system).

Uncovering a basic understanding of the function of the mind allows for a return to its original Source

Additionally, the basic ontological patterns and categories of nature, derived from both the original yogic Samkhya philosophy and the various modern somatic evolutionary works, are unwrapped and proposed in a weekly experiential laboratory to allow for a re-membering of a complete and essential self.

As with all Kula work, meditation, listening and a heart centered self-inquiry serve as the foundation to know thy self for the benefit of all living creatures.

Somatic Movement Work

Derived from Thomas Hanna's use of the word "soma" describes the experience of viewing oneself from the inside out, rather than from the outside in, which designates an experienced body versus an objectified body.

"Soma" is from the Sanskrit root su -"extract" originally referring to an intoxicating plant juice used in ancient India as an offering in the daily sacrificial ritual of Vedic times. In later Yogic era practice, it was understood as the inner juice produced by the body as a result of spiritual practice.

The Kula's purpose in integrating Yoga and somatic work is to capture Yoga's original intent of discovering the Self through direct experience thereby furthering one's evolution (consciousness) from a fluent outgrowth of the nervous system.

"When the body is experienced from within, the body and mind are not separated but are experienced as a whole."
