Moving with Desire

Description

This class serves as a beautiful introduction to free movement, beginning with a strong foundation of asana before gradually welcoming more intuitive and expressive movement. It offers a clear and empowering arc, connecting personal desires with embodiment and inviting participants to feel what it means to move toward fulfilling those desires through the body.

The class begins with reflective journaling around the question, “What do I truly want?” exploring the tantric concept of Iccha (desire) and sensing where this longing lives within the body. Through subtle awareness and chanting, we begin to locate and awaken the energy of desire through the chakras.

From there, the practice unfolds into an asana sequence that welcomes this energy into movement. Rather than imposing shapes, the body is invited to let the felt sense of longing guide the flow, allowing desire to become a creative force within the practice.

As the class builds, chanting and breath are woven into free movement, gradually generating heat and vitality. The rising energy of desire is allowed to move through the body, so that the fulfillment of movement begins to mirror the fulfillment of the desires themselves.
