ŚRY (pronounced Shree) is a Yoga Āsana practice that uses specific poses that angle into and release tension along the central axis of the body, the spine. In the Vedic tradition, the spine is considered the conduit of consciousness and the column of prāna (sacrad vitality). But when there is tension here, there are blockages/obstructions to the flow of nourishment, prāna, and soma nectar. When we release and soften the muscles and tissues attached to the vertebrae, from the tailbone to the crown, the spine is decompressed and the nourishment just naturally flows in. Through this process we can experience healing, rejuvenation, transformation and ultimately Self-awareness.

This approach to Yoga is accessible yet deep. It is not about entertainment, performance, or competition. There is no over-stretching, pushing or forcing the body into extreme angles, but rather it is an inward-oriented journey to our more subtle layers. With an emphasis on surrender, letting go, and softening, this practice helps to slow down the body and settle the mind. I am very grateful to have trained in this form of Yoga Āsana with my teacher Kaya Mindlin, and love sharing it's depth and nourishment with you.
