Sofia Diaz - YogaTalam

Hatha Yoga in the Tantrik Tradition

This form of Hatha Yoga emphasizes the conductivity (Thandav) of full feeling throughout the entire body in balanced relationship to active surrender or heart-relaxation into the infinitely graceful (Lasya) currents of life force. YogaTalam is union with the beating of the heart understood to be the soundless sound of infinite expansion and recontraction of the felt universe.

The series serves to build a deep and full yogic understanding of responsibly living the great gift & wonderment of the human form.

• You will learn to integrate breath, body posture, and feeling to strengthen your heart awareness in every moment of your day.
• This special series of yoga weeks will combine asana, movement, breathwork, and a series of interpersonal practices that communicate a unique understanding of the yoga of feeling.
• Each week will emphasize alignment and energetic extension in sustained asanas, and will evolve into a vinyasa practice uniquely designed for the individuals present.

YogaTalam is a yoga of celebration, merging the energy of Shiva and Parvati into an experience of wholeness
