Dolphin Series PROGRESSIONS
~ Friction to freedom ~
Dolphin pose is a friction starter that lights a bonfire inside of us, asking us to move through resistance and shaky grounds, in order to find more freedom in our body and mind. This is what makes it an ideal portal to explore the yogic practice of tapas—one of the most potent yogic tools, encompassing a spiritual commitment to show up for ourselves no matter what!
In this series, we dive deep into tapas using a thoughtfully curated and exquisitely illustrated workbook of theory, contemplations, poetic inspiration and artistic exercises. The workbook is paired with 5 intelligently sequenced classes, progressing through playful and challenging variations of dolphin pose.
The more we cling to our current state, the more impossible it is to grow beyond it.

Practice 1 | Start Small
Small steps are very important because over time the micro-progressions compound, becoming a mound of evidence supporting your success.
Practice 2 | The Spirit Cord
What is your relationship to your own Spirit? This class is themed as an enquiry that helps us to become aware of the deeper motivations and driving forces behind our efforts.
Practice 3 | Persistent Flexibility
The more we cling to our current state the more impossible it becomes to grow beyond it. Persistent flexibility is about being mentally malleable so that we can navigate the ‘friction-field’ with elegance.
Practice 4 | Conscious Challenges
Planting small challenges into our practice means we grow proactively, rather than waiting for life's lessons to wake us up!
Practice 5 | Muscles of the Mind
Tapas is a practice of the mind. Today we build the muscles of tapas—our mental willpower, self-confidence + courage!
