Tapas: the fire that creates change 🔥

Tapas is often translated as heat.
It’s the inner fire that helps you move through resistance, inertia, and self-doubt.

Tapas is what allows effort to turn into clarity.
Discomfort into strength.
Intention into action.

In practice, Stretch Pose with breath of fire is one of the clearest ways to build tapas.
It activates the navel center, sharpens focus, and trains the nervous system to stay steady under challenge.

But fire without balance can become tension.
That’s why we follow it with Sphinx Pose, also with breath of fire.
This posture opens the chest and heart, releases stored anxiety, and allows energy to circulate rather than get stuck.

Together, these two poses teach something essential:
how to be strong without being rigid,
and open without collapsing.

“My body knew what my mind couldn’t. Somehow movement became my compass.”

Always learning. Always evolving.
From practice, from students, from starting again.
Move. Energise. Create.

Spinal Flex and Sufi Grind are some of the foundational Kundalini Yoga exercises typically practiced at the beginning of the Kriyas as a warm up and grounding exercises.

These two exercises are specifically great to increase flexibility of the spine, release tensions, and stimulate the flow of energy from the base of the spine.

They work well together to bring balance to the lower chakras, and with breath synchronized to movement, they help recalibrate the nervous system and promote emotional release.

Kundalini Yoga is pure magic ✨

WHY BALLET BARRE?

Integrating Ballet Barre into your workout routine is a game changer. Here are just a few examples of how the practice supports both your body and mind:

🩰 Functional strength that sculpts
Targets small stabilizing muscles for long, lean, resilient strength.

🩰 Better posture & alignment
Every movement refines how you stand, move, and carry yourself daily.

🩰 Graceful strength
Build control, rhythm, and coordination, power with elegance.

🩰 Deep core & balance activation
Strengthens your center, pelvic floor, and stability for all movement styles.

🩰 Low impact, high results
Gentle on joints but incredibly effective for tone, endurance, and flexibility.

🩰 Mind–body connection
Presence and precision turn barre into a moving meditation. Even when working at a faster pace.

You don’t need previous experience in ballet and yet you’ll feel like a proper ballerina ☺️
Also no need to wear ballet tights and leotard, but if you want you can 🙌🏽
