This two-part course for experienced practitioners, will teach and refine the next two forms of the Nrtta Sadhana while introducing preliminary practices of pranayama, including the Deha Shuddhi. Different avenues of approach to set up the pranayama will be taught, beginning with the Nrrta form, followed by asana, mudra, and kriya. Emphasis will be placed on establishing the proper mind/body container required for pranayama while building an understanding of its qualities and fine-tuning the process by which it is formed.

​​

Part 1, begins with a pre-recorded class available on Jan 6, and will teach and refine the Ashta Matrikas (the eight mother palms or short form).

Part 2, begins with a pre-recorded class available on Feb 18, and will teach and refine the Lasya (Kali's creative dance or long form). The asana, mudra, kriya, and pranayama will develop sequentially through the two parts. For this reason, part 1 is prerequisite to part 2. Each part will consist of 4 online sessions, and 2 in-person sessions in Berkeley for local students.

​

All sessions conducted via Zoom will be recorded and participants will have access to the Part 1 recordings through Feb 18, 2025, and the Part 2 recordings through April 5, 2025.
