Group Yoga Classes

yoga pose

I teach Kundalini yoga classes along with my partner, Mark Shekoyan, which is an integrative yogic system that helps us connect with our true selves and realize our dharma or our highest purpose. It will also help you ignite the passion in your life. My focus is on activating and aligning your chakras with a combination of posture, breathing, meditation and chanting to help you realize your highest potentials.

Group yoga classes are a wonderful way to learn yoga and/ or deepen and improve your current yoga practice in a community of like-minded people who are also committed to upleveling their health. Attending a group yoga class is a great way to have the support of others motivated by health and wellness. It can be hard to motivate yourself to do a regular practice on your own and having the support of a group and a teacher will carry you through during tough times.  They are also an excellent way to build and expand your community. Lets face it, we can’t do this thing called “life” alone. My yoga classes are theme-based series with specific intentions and goals.

Kundalini Yoga & Meditation for Prosperity and Intuition

9 week series

In our Yurt in NE PDX- started in Oct and goes until Dec 19th

Tuesdays from 6:30-7:45/8pm 

Come join us on this powerful journey of unlocking your soul’s potential in order to attract and magnetize prosperity for manifesting what you want to create in your life. 

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness, energetic charge and creative unfolding. Through specific combinations of posture, breath, mantra, hand positions, energetic locks and meditation, we gradually awaken our kundalini energy to infuse our life with purpose and vitality.  As a result, we activate our intuitive knowing, passion and full self expression. 

  • Through the tools of kundalini yoga, you naturally become prosperous 
  • You are able to manifest the life of our dreams by aligning with your highest potential. 

Prosperity is about having your needs met, sourcing your joy, abundance and purpose from within to magnetize and create your destiny rather than chasing after it. It is much deeper than just material wealth. Many wealthy people are empty and not prosperous at all. 

  • Yogi Bhajan teaches that there are two ways to manifest in life. 
  • Magnetize your dreams
  • Or Chase after them.

“Magnetize everything towards you.  What you need, it will be in balance; it will be beautiful; you can enjoy it.  The other way is to run after it. You’ll be running all the time; home will be empty.” Yogi Bhajan

According to Yoga Bhajan, “True prosperity happens when our own being comes into a state of flowering. Each of us has something unique to share. When we walk the path of our soul’s calling, known as destiny, that is prosperity.  Prosperity is the state where you are YOU. As you vibrate your Self, everything you need shall come to you. Be yourSelf, and Mother Nature will serve you.” 

Intuition is inner knowing that aligns us with our soul’s destiny and helps us understand when to act appropriately in service of it. Prosperity consciousness is a way of being and acting where we trust the divine flow to give us what we need to fulfill that destiny from a place of joy, balance, empowerment, and trust.

In this class series, we will cover basic to intermediate Kundalini Yoga with a specific emphasis on awakening the chakras, or subtle energy centers of our awareness in service of prosperity. 

  • To maximize the full benefits, we recommend attending the whole series or multiple sessions.
