H⁴ Yoga — Hip Hop Happy Hour

January 29, 2024 By LaToyia.Mays@thelayacenter.com

Welcome to “Hip Hop Happy Hour Yoga: Third Eye and Crown Energy Centers (Orunmila and Ori) Edition” – a deeply introspective and spiritually enriching yoga class. Set against the contemplative backdrop of late autumn and winter, this session is designed to foster reflection, intuition, and a profound spiritual connection, all harmonized with the soulful rhythms of hip hop.

🍁🌨 Seasonal Focus: Late Autumn/Winter Reflection and Connection In the introspective seasons of late autumn and winter, we turn inward, seeking deeper understanding and spiritual growth. This time of year is perfect for focusing on the higher energy centers: the Third Eye (Orunmila) associated with intuition and perception, and the Crown (Ori), which connects us to higher states of consciousness and spiritual awareness.

🧘‍♂️ Yoga: Balancing and Inversions for Enlightenment Our yoga practice will concentrate on balancing poses that stimulate the Third Eye and inversions that activate the Crown Center. The balancing poses enhance your concentration and inner perception, vital for awakening Orunmila, while the inversions increase blood flow to the brain, aiding in Crown activation for heightened spiritual connection. This combination not only provides physical benefits but also aids in harmonizing these energy centers for greater insight and universal connection.

🌌 Meditation: Visualization for Higher Awareness Following the physical practice, we will delve into visualization and guided imagery meditation. This technique is specially designed to heighten intuition and spiritual awareness, key aspects of the Third Eye and Crown Chakras. Through this meditative journey, you’ll explore inner landscapes of consciousness, unlocking deeper layers of intuition and connecting to a higher spiritual plane.

🍵 Herbal Tea Blends: Blue My Mind & Crowned Jewel In the “Happy Hour” segment, choose between two specially crafted herbal tea blends: “Blue My Mind” for the Third Eye and “Crowned Jewel” for the Crown Center. Each blend contains herbs selected for their cognitive and meditation-enhancing properties, supporting mental clarity and spiritual depth. These teas provide a soothing, reflective experience, perfectly complementing the focus of our practice.

💭 Community Activity and Personalized Tea Experience In addition to the yoga and meditation practice, we offer a community activity, such as a meditation retreat or a group discussion circle on spirituality and personal growth. This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding and share insights with like-minded individuals.

And for a personal touch, you’ll have the chance to “spike” your tea during Happy Hour. Whether you prefer your herbal blend as it is or with an added twist, it’s a perfect way to relax and integrate your experiences from the class.

Join us for “Hip Hop Happy Hour Yoga: Third Eye and Crown Energy Centers (Orunmila and Ori) Edition” for a journey into self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Whether you’re looking to deepen your yoga practice, expand your intuition, or connect with a community on a spiritual level, this class offers a unique blend of physical, mental, and spiritual enrichment. Let’s flow, meditate, and sip in the spirit of higher consciousness! 🧘‍♀️🎵🔮🍹

H⁴ Yoga — Hip Hop Happy Hour

January 29, 2024 By LaToyia.Mays@thelayacenter.com

Introducing “Hip Hop Happy Hour Yoga: Throat Energy Center (Obatala) Edition” – a transformative and invigorating yoga class that blends the rhythmic essence of hip hop with the expressive power of the Throat Chakra, Obatala. Set in the introspective season of early autumn, this session is designed to unlock your communication channels, enhance self-expression, and align your physical and spiritual well-being.

🍂 Seasonal Focus: Embracing Early Autumn’s Expressive Energy As we transition into early autumn, a time naturally conducive to communication and expression, our class taps into this seasonal shift. This period calls us to express our thoughts and feelings more openly and to find harmony in our internal and external worlds, making it the ideal time to focus on the Throat Chakra, Obatala, which governs communication, creativity, and self-expression.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga: Throat-Stimulating Poses Our yoga practice will concentrate on throat-stimulating poses, specifically curated to enhance the energy flow through the Throat Chakra. These poses aid in opening and balancing Obatala, facilitating clear and honest communication and fostering creative expression. As you move through these poses, you’ll not only experience physical benefits, such as neck tension release and improved posture, but also a newfound freedom in self-expression and communication.

🔊 Meditation: Sound and Mantra Meditation Following our physical practice, we’ll immerse ourselves in a sound and mantra meditation. This practice involves using vibration and sound, crucial elements of the Throat Chakra, to deepen our connection to our inner voice and enhance our ability to communicate with clarity and truth. The mantras and sounds used in this meditation are carefully selected to resonate with Obatala, promoting a sense of balance and peace in our expressive capabilities.

🍵 Herbal Tea Blend: Skin Deep In the “Happy Hour” portion of our class, we’ll indulge in the “Skin Deep” herbal tea blend. This unique mixture includes herbs that support skin health and thyroid function, both intimately connected to the Throat Chakra. These herbs also aid in facilitating clear communication, not just externally but also within ourselves. This tea is a soothing and nurturing way to complement our throat-focused practice.

💬 Customize Your Tea Experience In keeping with the theme of personal expression, you’ll have the chance to customize your tea experience. Whether you prefer your herbal blend pure or choose to add a special “spike” to it, this part of the session is all about expressing your personal taste and style.

Join us for “Hip Hop Happy Hour Yoga: Throat Energy Center (Obatala) Edition” and unlock the power of your voice and self-expression. This class is perfect for anyone seeking to improve their communication skills, express themselves creatively, or simply enjoy a unique blend of yoga, meditation, and herbal wellness. Let’s flow, chant, and sip in the spirit of clarity and expression! 🧘‍♂️🎵🌬️🍹
