Lori & Jeremy
Aspen, Colorado, USA
Join Lori and Jeremy as they collaborate together in this mindful and fluid practice celebrating the Garuda Mudra which connects to our freedom or moksha and celebrates takes responsibility for our actions. This class represents us taking flight and moving with grace as we float and soar above the earth.
Throughout the masterclass, Lori and Jeremy are weaving the power of the Garuda Mudra to allow you to explore situations with new found freedom in your body and mind. The word garuda means “eagle” in Sanskrit and mudra means, “gesture of.” By activating blood flow, the garuda mudra invigorates and balances the vata energy on both sides of the body.

Tripsichore Masterclass
Set up your space, and prepare to Delight in Dance.
- Terpsichore flow
- 62min
- All are welcome
- Delight focused
Lori
Terpsichore was one of the nine Mousai (Muses), the goddesses of music, song and dance. In the classical era, when the Mousai were assigned specific literary and artistic spheres, Terpsikhore was named Muse of choral song and dancing, and depicted with a lyre and plectrum.
Her name means “Delighting in Dance” from the Greek words terpsis “to delight” and khoros “dance”.
Terpsikhorê (trip-sic-uh-ree) Vinyasa is the evenly metered flow of movement, breath and thought, which results in an uninflected state of being. Tripsichore sequences seek the integrity of the postures, by assuming that the mind’s intention can be integrated with the body’s movement through breathing techniques. The refinement of these techniques – something that seems deceptively simple – provides the means through which the body achieves remarkable shapes of considerable beauty.

Self-Reflection/Study
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” / Aristotle
1. From the book Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One read up to page 111 through Chapter 17.

Write a document describing what it felt like to smile all day and how it affected those around you. Upload your document into the system.
2. Finish the book Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One if you haven’t already. Make amends with someone you need to make amends with. If you don’t have anyone that you need to make amends with, get to know someone who before you may have not connected with. Write a document explaining the experience and upload it into the system.
3. Read How to Train a Wild Elephant, pages 95-107, make efforts to abide by the exercises contained within, and upload into the system a report as to your awareness, dedication to, and results of, the exercises.
4. Create a Tripsichore class of your own a minimum of 15 minutes but it can be longer. Write a document expressing how you felt about this type of class and how it felt to take it vs how it felt to teach it. Upload your thoughts and your video into the system.
5. Create a flow of both the Fire and Deep Center Series of Poses together using some variations of the Fire Series from the flashcards. Choose a Yama or Niyama to thread through the class providing a yogic teaching that will be inspiring for your students bringing attention to the Yama or Niyama throughout. Use music, use Sanskrit, stay consistent with calling breath, name of pose and direction. Teach 30% on the mat and 70% off the mat. Upload your flow into the system.
