Alchemize from root to crown on this journey through the seven chakras uniting the mystical and physical forces within you. Key practices include asana (physical postures of yoga), pranayama (breathing techniques), mantra (healing sound vibration), mudra (energy seals), meditation (expanded states of awareness), and vichara (self-inquiry).
In this Alchemy of Love retreat, Sianna and Masood will share stories, music, and practices to amplify the love frequency in your life. There will be four thematic journeys:
Friday: Radiance — a welcoming practice with breath and asana, grounding energies, root support, setting the foundation, calling in intentions, and soaking in deep rest for full-body restoration. This session focuses on the first two chakras connected to earth and water.
Saturday: Power to Transform — a more up-tempo practice of dynamic breathing techniques, core work, functional movement, introduction to backbends, and creative patterns of movement. This session focuses on the chakras connected to fire and air.
Saturday: Renewal and Rejuvenation — a more relaxed practice to explore deep hip openers, forward folds, and twists with expanded states of consciousness through mantra and meditation. This session focuses on the upper three chakras to the elements of space, unification, and transcendent energies.
Sunday: Alchemy of Love — a soulful practice with deep breath, heart fire vision, standing poses, backbends, and community connection. Culminating with a Chakra Radiance dance party with mantra, music, and love frequency!
