WELCOME. Sruti in Sanskrit means that which is heard and revealed through direct experience.

Sruti Yoga Center offers traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga, Vinyasa, Meditation, Workshops, Shamanic Studies, and Energy Therapies with respect to the ‘two feet of the guru’. One foot represents the many forms of our outer teachers, while the other represents our inner teacher, dwelling in the center of our very own heart. Balancing in between, we discover the open channel of the middle pathway, awakening insight to our true nature: pure happiness of pure being.

...a call to all mothers,

daughters, sisters, wives, aunts, and beloved grandmothers: it’s time to playfully explore the

transformation of dense energy and old patterns into an empowered, clear, and renewed

sense  of being.

WOMEN’S SENSUAL AWAKENING & JADE EGG PRACTICE

Over thousands of years the Taoists developed a system for accessing and connecting to the Earth's energy and power. Some of the most powerful mysteries they discovered were reserved only for royalty as they were thought to be too potent for the masses. It was known then that the second chakra, our genitals, were the source of our life force energy, our creativity. Nurturing that connection was considered to be both a responsibility of leadership and an essential foundation to living a healthy, fulfilling and joy-filled life.

This ancient wisdom is not entirely lost, though access to it is rare. We women push ourselves to meet constant demands day after day and wonder why we suffer from adrenal fatigue, exhaustion and lethargy, why our life force lags. We try to fit in exercise and a little pampering here and there, but still feel depleted. True nurturance demands a rethinking of how we honor our essential needs in a practical way.

A Native American elder reminded me recently that, just as in China millennia ago, indigenous peoples know our power lies in our connection to the Earth. We forget that our female bodies mirror the Earth’s cycles. We are part of Her, and connection to Her -- and to our sisters – is the implicit foundation of life’s joy and effectiveness.

But how do we connect?

Please join Mary Campbell and Sarah Nicholson in a four-week exploration of the Taoist secrets to Women's Sensual Awakening. We will share with you practices we've learned from our teachers, Saida Desilets and Martine Flores as we introduce and guide you in the foundational Jade Egg practice. This weekly immersion will allow you to develop your own relationship to the Jade Egg, to solidify its practice, and maximize its potential impact for your life.

You will experience a deeper connection to your own sexual energy, a revived awareness and control of the musculature of your vagina, and with that, increased pleasure both for yourself and with a partner. Women passing through the body’s natural menopausal changes can notice improve lubrication and continence as well as much improved sexual response and pleasure.
