Mysore Yoga Paris – Closer Together

Soundscape: The Breath Space

The Breath Space began as a live recording during Kia’s in-depth training [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/trainings] in Paris and has since evolved into a full album [https://open.spotify.com/album/2kY3SmzEpjCQNxQOoa9ozi?si=owLsO8f6TvGY671SHaistQ] with the same name, now available on all platforms. This original recording opens with Kia guiding a brief breath-awareness practice, helping us notice the subtle currents that shape our body with each in- and out-breath. From there, we gather in Samastitihi, aligning body, breath, and mind, before moving through 80 minutes of Yotam's immersive soundscapes designed to carry us through our Asana practice. Throughout, gentle reminders invite us to return to the openness and presence of our inner breath. Kia also shares one of her favourite quotes by Ani Pema Chödrön.

Meditation: Holding Grief in Compassion

Loss—whether fresh or long woven into your life, whether it’s a person, a relationship, or something less tangible—lives within us all. It shapes our days in quiet ways. This meditation is an invitation to meet grief gently, and only as you feel ready. As we hold space for our personal sorrow, it can become a doorway into a collective journey of healing and compassion that holds all beings.

Meditation: Balancing Solar & Lunar Swara

This meditation explores bringing our Swara - the flow through our right solar and left lunar streams of consciousness - into balance.  In yoga this is traditionally done through harmonising the flow through our left and right nostril where these subtle breath channels, nadis terminate. There are many practices devoted to this end in classical Hatha Yoga texts. This episode offers a beautifully crafted live recording from Kia's In-depth Development Training [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/trainings]  that we invite you to explore with us. It is said that when our stimulating and generative solar swara comes into a supportive balance with our spacious and receptive lunar swara, inner divisiveness and conflict is able to heal. Entering this sanctuary within, duality and separation begins to soften, even dissolve, and we are left with a deep sense of wholeness and interconnectedness. This recording is best experienced with headphones to allow for a multi-dimensional listening.  With Love and Blessings /kia & yotam For more info about Kia´s International Workshop Schedule, Trainings, Retreats and Global Sangha, please visit: http://mysoreyogaparis.com [http://mysoreyogaparis.com/] Instagram: mysoreyogaparis [https://www.instagram.com/mysoreyogaparis/] For more free resources please sign up to our newsletter: https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/newsletter-sign-up [https://www.buzzsprout.com/945385/episodes/%20https://bit.ly/2URyLdg] More music by Yotam can be found at: https://www.yotamagam.com/music [https://www.yotamagam.com/music]

Body Scan for an Attuned Practice

An embodied approach to yoga requires us to learn our body's subtle language so we can attune what and how to practice to care for its changing nature.  Opening and closing with a  Body Scan is a powerful way to strengthen our capacity to use own inner reference system for growing somatic intelligence. Without initiating our practice from this place of deep listening, our practice is likely to be rout, habitual or goal-driven. Opening with a compassionate inquiry into our own embodiment opens up our yoga practice to endless creative opportunities and new pathways for healing. This is a live recording from Kia's In-Depth Training [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/trainings] at Mysore Yoga Paris [https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/]. It is best experienced with headphones to allow for a multi-dimensional listening.  Thank you for your practice With love & blessings x Kia & Yotam For more info about Kia´s International Workshop Schedule, Trainings, Retreats and Global Sangha, please visit: http://mysoreyogaparis.com [http://mysoreyogaparis.com/] Instagram: mysoreyogaparis [https://www.instagram.com/mysoreyogaparis/] For more free resources please sign up to our newsletter: https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/newsletter-sign-up [https://www.buzzsprout.com/945385/episodes/%20https://bit.ly/2URyLdg] More music by Yotam can be found at: https://www.yotamagam.com/music [https://www.yotamagam.com/music]
