How do we return to our true nature when the noise of the modern world pulls us away? In Season 6, Episode 7 of Yoga Every Day, instructor Nichole Golden guides you through a grounding prakriti yoga practice designed to shift your focus from external distractions back to your inner light.
This session explores the foundational concepts of Samkhya philosophy in yoga, specifically the relationship between purusha and prakriti (the pure consciousness of the Self and the manifest, changing world around us). When we over-identify with the material realm, we lose touch with our unchanging essence. This embodied hatha yoga practice integrates mindful movement with philosophical depth, making it an ideal hatha yoga morning ritual to start your day with clarity. By moving through deliberate postures, you will learn to observe the fluctuations of the mind and the physical body without getting lost in them. Nichole Golden's expert guidance ensures that each movement serves as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern, daily application.
Designed as an accessible yet deep experience, the sequence incorporates level 1-2 backbends, countering twists, and grounded folds. Using blocks to support your alignment, you will gently open the heart space, release physical tension, and create room for inner stillness. This balanced approach allows practitioners of various levels to experience the profound benefits of a dedicated hatha yoga morning ritual, fostering a sense of stability that lasts long after you step off the mat.
Begin your exploration today and discover how a dedicated morning yoga ritual can transform your relationship with the world around you. Start watching this episode of Yoga Every Day on Gaia to ground your body and elevate your consciousness.
