Time for a break? Welcome! As you make yourself comfortable, allow yourself to uncover the benefits of this fusion of breath techniques. While creating space for you to experience how slowing down allows you to become more present, you will also notice the re-energizing effect of breathwork. Gradually, a balance between these two states is what is intended to be experienced as a whole. We will practice the following breathing techniques: Kapalabhati, Box Breathing, and Nadi Shodhana. Enjoy!
We aim to improve the flexibility of hamstrings and shoulders, as well as the strength in the arms, thigh adductors, and the core. Variations are offered to develop the sense of balance on the arms. It is an exploration of your own expression in Firefly, whatever stage of life you’re in.

Mudras are highly stylized and symbolized as non-verbal communication. In this introduction to the Buddhist mudras, we will learn five Buddhist mudras and the mudras of the five wisdoms, or five Buddhas. After learning the forms and meanings of the mudras, it’s fun to observe the arts such as Buddha sculptures and paintings.
In this mantra, the 24 Mudras are practiced while chanting the Gayatri Mantra which has 24 syllables. Gayatri Mantra is dedicated to Savitri, a Vedic sun deity. Among various translations of the mantra, I introduce the first line by Tias Little and the rest of the lines by Swami Vivekananda.
Now that social media has become an extension of our own communities, a lot of negative perspectives and habits have made their way from the digital world to our real one. By becoming aware of your emotions and actions, you can get past the bad side of social media and enjoy the company of your social circle.
Forming new habits or having a different mindset can be a challenge, so how long does it take to form a new, healthy habit?
As we all come out of isolation, I find myself teetering between wanting to hang back in the world of the remote, or to bring myself deeply into community.
