Sanctify Your Senses

Saturday, March 28

Indriyani is the Sanskrit word for the senses. When unmanaged, they behave as wild horses, trampling peace. The senses are also gifts, portals into life and wisdom. Pratyahara practices work specifically with the senses, purifying and blessing them.

Join us for an evening dedicated to cultivating right relationship with the senses through:

  • Song
  • Asana
  • Agnisar Dhauti (fire wash)
  • Abhyanga of feet, heads, and hands
  • Nyasa (mantra placement)
  • Prana-vayu Meditation

Agnisar Dhauti: Literally fire washing. This is a practice of deep belly movement with breath retention at the bottom of exhalation; a skill we encourage during our Ayurvedic cleanse.

Abhyanga: The Ayurvedic practice of tissue massage with oils that have been decocted with Ayurvedic or Western herbs. Another skill we encourage during a cleanse and something that can be done daily to anoint the body.

Nyasa: The root word of Vinyasa, literally to place, install, or deposit. This practice places sound vibrations in specific places in the physical body. Mantras are offered to each of the senses, including senses that are beyond the common five.Prana Vayu Meditation:  A meditation to increase the robustness of pranic movement inside and beyond the body, mind, and energy field.

This event is part of an ongoing series designed to bridge yogic practices beyond asana into daily life. Through ritual, reflection, and embodied tools, participants are invited to cultivate greater clarity, balance, and resilience. The practices shared are practical, accessible, and intended to support both personal nourishment and longer-term integration, including preparation for deeper seasonal cleansing work, including our upcoming Annual Spring Cleanse launching in April.
