Shakti Yoga: Embodying the Goddess

Details

Shakti: Embodying the Goddess A Twelve Week Yoga Journey through Myth, Movement & Devotion September 22 – December 15 Long before sacred teachings were written into books, they were carried in stories. They were shared beside fires, sung beneath the stars, and passed lovingly from generation to generation. Within these stories lived the wisdom of the Earth, the rhythms of the seasons, and the many faces of the Divine Feminine. Across cultures and throughout time, women gathered to remember that life is sacred and that the Goddess lives within every mountain, every river, every forest, and every breath. In the tantric tradition of ancient India, this living presence is known as Shakti: the creative life force that flows through the entire universe. She moves through the stars and the changing seasons, through every living creature, and through our own bodies, inviting us into a deeper relationship with ourselves, one another, and the living world. Throughout this twelve-week series, we will gather each week with a different Goddess, exploring her mythology, symbolism, and wisdom before embodying her qualities through yoga, breath, meditation, and deep relaxation. While our foundation rests in the rich tradition of Shaktism, we will also weave together Goddess stories from cultures across the world, discovering the timeless threads that unite them. These ancient stories continue to live within our collective memory. Our hearts recognize them. Our bones remember them. As we practice with devotion, something ancient begins to stir. Week by week, the stories awaken something deep inside, revealing the Goddess whose wisdom has been waiting for us all along. Our Tuesday Temple evenings are filled with mythology, philosophy, movement, meditation, laughter, and the warmth of community. Whether you are stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time or have practiced for many years, you are warmly welcomed exactly as you are. Together may we celebrate the miracle of being in a body, on this glorious Earth body, heartbeat by heartbeat, breath by breath.
