Merging with Spirit

The heady elixir of tapas, the fire of aspiration, svadhyaya the intuition of self and ishvarapranidhana, spiritual presence, will be the back bone of our enquiry, kriya, asana and pranayama the practical elements.

Sama Fabian has been in Yoga practice all her adult life and a teacher since 1985. She has been training teachers since 1999 with her ‘Aurolab Yoga Project, a laboratory for experiential Yoga and conscious living’.

Her trajectory has been essentially experiential starting early on with intense journeys into the wilderness. These experiences moved her to define a practice based on elemental configurations as revealed in asana, pranayama and quiet sitting.
Her Yoga arises from an unwavering trust in the inherent wisdom of the body, her deep love of nature, the visible face of Spirit, and a dedication to serve in the development of the human potential for higher levels of consciousness. She lives at ‘The Green House’ school of Yoga and Healing Center in South Wales, UK.

Leap of Faith – Master Class w/visiting teacher Nico Luce

Saturday July 14th 1-3pm $25+HST

Do you know where you true power lies? It’s easy to forget. Come get inspired by the stories told in the Ramayana about a monkey called Hanuman. He was “a soul of matchless glory who had no equal in goodness or valor, wisdom or strength”  but he doesn’t know it…

In this dynamic Vinyasa class we’ll shed off the layers of doubt that cloud our vision and power through hip openers and twists to remember what we’re made of.

“Don’t hesitate, Hanuman: fate is calling you to make your name immortal. Shed your unconfidence; your moment of glory has arrived.”

Nico Luce has been teaching yoga for over 10 years in Vancouver as well as international retreats and workshops. He is headlining at this year’s Wanderlust festival in Whistler, this is your chance to practice with him in Victoria!
