About SonicQi Yoga

Mantra infused Yoga sequencing finds its emphasis on fluidity.  This Yoga style embraces the ebb and flow elements of the body.  The alignment principles engaged in this style of Yoga are spiralling and poised. 

Lunar Yin Influences as well as Solar Yang Influences will be explored. 

Discovering a sense of inner tranquility and grace through mindful movement, Mantra SonicQi Yoga is a soul enriching endeavor. We'll close each class with the Gayatri mantra, followed by meditation which will lead us into Shivasana. 

"Oh manifest and unmanifest, wave and ray of breath, white lotus of insight under a canopy of  bright stars, ignite within us the divine light that will sustain our path to our own inner sun."   

Gayatrii Mantra Translated by Ravi Shankar-poet. 

Dynamic Sonic Qi Yoga is designed to enhance strength, flexibility and focus.  You'll move through a series of Yoga poses that are synchronized with breath, building endurance and self confidence. Practicing Dynamic SonicQi over time will transform your life in profound ways.  Find your inner compass.  Where is the source of your power?  How will you know unless it is challenged into form through a steady Yoga practice over time.

A class for all levels of experience, Glow Flow SonicQi Yoga is a style that embarks upon a conscious  journey from body to soul.  The Asana sequences move methodically with attention to posture and alignment.  Mindfulness linked to breath is a unique signature of this gentle class.  Glow Flow also draws in the wisdom of the acupuncture meridians, mudras and meditation, all woven into a class that is designed to ignite an inner vitality that will bring outer radiance into your life.

These famous waters are naturally heated by tectonic forces deep below the Coachella Valley desert sands. The Resort is surrounded by the enchanting foothills of Joshua Tree National Park. Rising in the distance, often snow capped, are the majestic mountains of San Jacinto and San Gregorio, the two tallest mountains in Southern California.   

This series of seminars will focus on the "Six Heavens Qi" which are central to the medical information highlighted in The Shang Han Lung, the most revered medical treatise in Chinese Medicine Literature. 

Treating pathogenic diseases according to the progression of External Yang to Internal Yin, we will explore complex herbal and acupuncture medical protocols for each stage. The lecture will be taught in the format of a journey. One can not separate time from the 'six stages' for indeed the progression of Qi in the bio- meridian clock also follow the stages as yang moves to yin and back to yang again every 24 hours. To support our descent into the physical and psychological realms of each stage, we will refer to the Taoist Inner Alchemy teachings of a mythical teacher known as Xi Wang Mu, "Queen Mother of the East". Her etheric and mystical homeland is high in the KunLun Mountains, the longest chain of mountains in Asia. It is here that the sacred mountain of Mount Kailash dwells: a pilgramage site that has drawn seekers of higher knowlege for thousands of years. Xi Wang Mu was the teacher of Lao Tzu; she is also the supreme deity of the famous Ban Xian, the eight immortals.  It is she that they worship. We will invoke her wisdom as we explore the Six Heavens Qi. 

The framework of our clinical applications will be a comprehensive investigation into the Six Heavens Qi stages:  tai-yang, shao-yang, yang-ming, tai-yin, shao-yin and jeu-yin, first published in the Shang Han Lun around 200 A.D. 

The Shang Han Lun remains a mandatory study in all accredited courses of Chinese medicine today. 

Global Sacred Sites Yoga will be a series of pilgramage style Yoga retreats to destinations that maintain resonance from their ancient pasts.  Restoration of space will be a guiding principle for these retreats.   Morning and Evening Yoga will shape our days. Music will shape our nights.
