As the Sun and Moon come together in the sky, we come together for a gentle breath connection practice.
Inspired by the principles of Jyotiṣa (Vedic Astrology), nāda yoga (the yoga of sound), haṭha yoga (balancing solar and lunar energies) and vinyāsa (linking movement and breath), this is an invitational, trauma-sensitive session that creates space for you to connect with your breath.
Please note:
In the first pāda (book) of the Yoga Sūtra, Patañjali describes seven antidotes to distractions that prevent us from even beginning our engagement in yoga practice. The following two antidotes are the inspiration for this session:
प्रच्छर्दनविधारणाभ्यां वा प्राणस्य
pracchardana-vidhāraṇābhyāṃ vā prāṇasya
Or [note: this comes in the middle of the list of antidotes] by expulsion and retention of the breath.
विशोका वा ज्योतिष्मती
viśokā vā jyotiṣmatī
Or when the heart is set on being luminescent and free from sorrow.
This first antidote (YS I.34) guides you to practice interrupting harmful, pathological breathing patterns. And the second antidote (YS I.36) guides you to increase the sattva (illuminative quality in Nature) in your emotional core, freeing yourself from the weight of your troubles.
This Breath Connection session is an expression of these antidotes in practice.

Welcome! I am grateful for the opportunity to share this digital space with you. My name is Tara (they/them) and I am a Yoga philosophy teacher.
My vision is an uprising of the one person revolution, where every human being has the freedom to choose to take effective self-responsibility. As such, my offerings center on empowering clients to take charge of, and be responsible for, their own life.
I have completed 575 certified hours in Yoga studies, and am currently in the midst of completing 100 continuing education hours. I am also in the process of becoming a Certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication. You can find out more about my experience here: www.theonepersonrevolution.org/about-tara/#experience.
After prolonged dissociation from my body, breath and movement practices offered within trauma-sensitive spaces continue to be effective strategies for me in my journey back. In this session I offer an opportunity for you to practice that (re)connecting process in the company of others who are doing this same work. I honour you deeply in your practice of (re)claiming home.
Their movement classes are unlike any I’ve done before, and I’m grateful to have crossed paths with them and join such a beautiful and fulfilling community.”
“It’s so refreshing to connect with like-minded folks in a safe space where I can absorb different teachings, take part in movement practices, work with the medicine of cacao, and ultimately allow my true self to be seen and heard.”
“I really appreciated how gentle that was. I haven’t done very much with my body so it was almost a little bit scary at first because I didn’t know what to expect but then it was just super gentle and I was able to do it on my bed which was nice. Thank you!”
