Join Essential Yoga Studio's owner & instructor Sunni Nutt for a six-session series centered around the inspiration and embodiment of some of our favorite poses' mythological origin stories.
Each thought-provoking 2-hour session combines storytelling, embodied practice, and deep reflection to bring new meaning to familiar asanas (poses).
What to Expect in each Session:
- 30 minutes of settling in with mythological storytelling and practice preview
- 60 minutes of guided movement, breathwork, and meditation
- 15 minutes of restorative sound healing with crystal singing bowls
- 10-15 minutes of closing integration and discussion
The Six Sessions:
Warriors of Light - Explore Virabhadrasana I, II & III (the Warrior poses) through the fierce devotion of Virabhadra - and Shiva's opportunity to embrace humility, surrender, and forgiveness
The Great Flood - Embody Matsyasana and Navasana (Fish and Boat poses) while discovering Manu's tale of faith and the ripple effects of our actions
The Leap of Faith - Journey into Hanumanasana (Monkey pose) through Hanuman's devotion to Shakti and Rama and his path to remembering his Divinity
Desert Awakening - Find transformation in Ustrasana (Camel pose) guided by Vishwamitra's wilderness revelation and devotion to his own spiritual practice
Abundance Embodied - Practice Gomukhasana (Cow Face pose) while honoring Kamendhenu, the divine cow of plenty, and embody our purpose from a place of boundaried love
Cosmic Rest - Surrender into Balasana (Child's pose) through Makendaya's vision of universal destruction and rebirth
All bodies, ages, and experience levels welcome. Whether you're new to yoga or have practiced for years, these sessions are designed to supoprt your where you are. Modifications and variations are always offered to ensure every body can participate fully and safely.
Each participant will receive a comprehensive reference guide that grows with you throughout the series, creating a personal collection of mythology, poses, and insights to carry forward in your practice.
Each session stands alone as a complete experience, or join us for the full journey of mythic exploration. Leave feeling inspired with fresh perspective on poses you thought you knew, carrying their sacred stories into your personal practice.
