Let’s talk about how traditional yoga techniques can disrupt a woman’s natural flow and actually cut her off from her power, or shakti.
In this video I speak about:
▽ How to honour the descending current of energy - the apana vayu - the energy of menstruation, birth and letting go.
.
▽ Why moola bandha (root lock) can be more harmful than helpful
.
▽ Accessing the nourishing and strengthening energy of the earth by relaxing the pelvic floor
.
▽ Why there are a lot of uptight yoga practitioners
.
▽ The value of emphasising grounding and relaxation, especially for women
.
▽ How stress and trauma affect the pelvic floor
.
▽ The passage between woman and earth as an essential energetic resource
.
▽ The link between the suppression of the feminine and the emphasis on ascension energy
.
▽ The necessity of a rooted connection to the Mother
.
▽ The ecstatic currents of shakti available to us and how to access them
.
▽ How Shakti Yoga can support women specifically and honour her natural connection to the earth and her own natural rhythms
