How does the act of concealment shape our spiritual journey and keep us from living authentically? In Shamans Season 1, Episode 3, instructor Shannon Paige invites you to step onto the mat and explore the hidden spaces within the body and mind.
The goddess Meenakshi, known for her unwavering gaze, represents constant awareness and the piercing of illusion. By invoking her energy, this class encourages you to look directly at what you have hidden away. This vinyasa yoga level 2 session blends storytelling with an embodied vinyasa flow designed to open the heart and shoulders. Inspired by this powerful deity, the practice serves as a physical exploration of shadow work yoga, helping you move through deep backbends to release stored tension. By mindfully integrating the physical body as poses grow and shift, you can begin revealing the true self that lies beneath layers of protection.
In the yogic tradition, the concept of hiding or shielding our vulnerability can prevent us from experiencing true liberation. Through this unique shamanic yoga practice, Shannon Paige yoga teachings offer a grounded approach to self-discovery, requiring only a blanket as a prop to support your alignment. As you flow through these backbend-focused poses, you will learn to recognize where you hold resistance and how to gently breathe through it. This 45-minute session provides the space to honor your limits while courageously expanding your boundaries, making it an ideal practice for intermediate students looking to deepen both their physical and spiritual practice.
