This Saturday 9 am ! Now HYBRID in person and via zoom! Link in bio …join me for an intimate exploration…..An Ashtanga Revolution — practice that meets you where you are

Have you been told Ashtanga is “too hard”?

These classes are designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether you are brand new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner returning to the mat.

Using a unique, supportive “stations” approach, the Ashtanga Primary Series is made accessible for every body. Chairs, walls, blocks, and props are thoughtfully incorporated, allowing you to choose the level of support that works best for you. You are encouraged to practice in a way that honors your body—you can do you.

Each class explores elements of the Primary Series—sun salutations, standing, seated, and closing postures—taught with intention and individualized guidance within a group setting.

Classes include:

• Asana (postures)

• Pranayama (breathwork)

• Pratyahara (meditative awareness)

• Sanskrit chanting (opening and closing mantras)

You’ll experience a blend of guided instruction, skill-building drills, and Mysore-style practice—where each student receives personalized support while practicing at their own pace.

This is Ashtanga reimagined—grounded in tradition, yet expansive, inclusive, and alive.

Do you hear the quiet whisper of yes?

Join us in person at 2929 24th street.

Hello warriors ….I struggle a lot with what I call the yoga teacher hustle, you know the posting on social - sometimes feels so ‘see me’. And also, I am so excited to share this Ashtanga revolution with you all, how else am I to do so unless I share . The conundrum.

I am so happy to share that while our shala at Burning Sprits Yoga is still virtual only , in person this winter. I have the honor of subbing the mysore program at the amazing community at Mission Ashtanga in SF. So I’m here for you to take practice in person , Tues Thursday and Sundays through December and we are still doing remote mysore and led primary Monday Wednesday and Saturday mornings —Thursday evenings.
I’m here when you are ready to do the exploration , the journey and taking that step towards the ultimate yoking. DM for info on how to join in person or virtual .
Touching toeis not a prerequisite.

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. 2:46 "sthira-sukham-āsanam"..postures should be stable and comfortable.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

Answering a call from Higher Self ..to create offerings that dismantle the current perception the more is better, advanced postures make you somehow more deserving.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
To divest from this mindset that you must act, look, and be —a certain way , to be an Ashtangi, with no room for joyful exploration and expression.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These questions of props or no props…why is that even a thing? Blocks and props do not block the way to enlightenment…to your divine connection. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Lastly, giving ourselves permission to move with breath, to find a refuge in each breath. That is where the growth is…not a so called struggle pose . ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Does this resonate ? A calling to you and for you . A deep knowing, whisper of ‘yes’.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We are calling you in -those who what to create the paradigm shift. Some spots left for folks wanting to be a part of all of this …folks with whom I can share all of this and more.​​​​​​​​

LIMPIA--what happens during our session?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Limpia (Spiritual and Energetic Cleansing Rite).​​​​​​​​
A Limpia is a Latin American cleansing ritual that help to cleanse or balance the mind, body, spirit and environment. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Our time together will begin with a fire limpia of the space. Then we will engage in plática (a heart-straightening talk) -confidentially discussing what weighs heavily on your heart, body, spirit- in order to begin the purge. Working together, from there, to begin your journey to wholeness. ​​​​​​​​
Your journey may include breath work, guided meditation, devotional chanting, calling in the sacred sprits and winds we will work with, light asana, plant cleansing/sweeps and/or a velación (fire limpia with candles). ​​​​​​​​
Through ancestral guidance, I will make you a personal plant remedio (medicine). Remedios, made by me with prayer and devotion, may include one or more of spray, liniment, salt scrub, or anointing oil. The plant guides used in my medicines are often grown by me, or they are sourced from other Indigenous healers.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I offer various services- Limpias for healings and blessings, soul retrieval, plant medicine , and I also offers shorter sessions by donation.....you can learn more or book at sandeelawlessyoga.com My March books are open and have a few sessions lefts. ​​​​​​​​

This way of being intentional with my energy, my life force…

My mind has been opened and my heart is singing. Giving myself grace to do less, that the work I do is INTENTIONAL and in integrity. Being taught by Decolonial & spiritual🦅] that this is is my as a healer and as a guide to do so—so that when I hold space, I am connected to higher vision.

SLOW DOWN
My mind says no….
My heart sings, yes, PLEASE!

My minds says not possible…
My body screams, but you must.

My mind tells me I am wrong,
And my Spirit whispers, no child, this the way…

the way of the r3v0lution.

Thank you my guide, Decolonial & spiritual🦅] for your teachings and guidance in the sacred container “New Paradigm of Care”. Your work, your teachings continue to shine a bright light for the new way to live.
