​As part of the i Light Marina Bay 2016, Outta Hatha presents the "Shine Your Light" Pop Up Yoga series over two Saturday nights in March. ***We will be donating 50% of all proceeds to Gyanada Foundation, to support their efforts to give access to quality education for underprivileged girls in India.***

Shine Your Light I: Spice Yoga (12 March 6:30pm-8pm)

On 12th March, join Spice Sadhaka (Ling), founder of Outta Hatha, Sattva Retreats facilitator and yoga teacher mentor, as she returns from New York to lead another special yoga event for i Light Marina Bay (iLMB). In this Spice Yoga practice, you will be guided to surrender the mind to the heart, originating your breath and movement from a seat of pure love.

The session will start with purification and a brief introduction to the heart chakra and the concept of non-violence (Ahimsa) in our actions and the importance of integrating compassion into our yoga practice. The heart is also intimately linked to the sense of touch. 

As the sun sets, the physical practice (Asana) will begin with a spice aroma massage, to stimulate and awaken our subtle energy channels. The practice will include fresh interpretations of many classic yoga poses, guiding the practitioner to focus on mindful expansion of our inner space and light, opening of the heart, and making a connection to our secret relationship with our higher self.  Let the heart shine in this evening yoga session filled with balance, serenity, love and light.

Shine Your Light II: Dharma Yoga - Maha Sadhana (19 March 6:30pm-8pm)

On 19th March,  Sherri, Certified Dharma Yoga Teacher, will lead a special 90-minute Dharma Yoga: Maha Sadhana practice, inspired by her guru Sri Dharma Mittra. Invite your inner light to shine to its fullest by this holistic practice. To awaken this light journey, we begin with purification practices (including kriya yoga and mantra meditation) followed by brief introduction of yoga as the 8-Limbed Path. The majority of the session will focus on the 3rd Limb (asana/physical practice).

You will be guided through the challenging yet accessible “Dharma Yoga Shiva Namaskara” practice, emphasizing spiritual intent and proper alignment, followed by a deep healing relaxation technique called Yoga Nidra. The session will conclude with pranayama (breathing) and a guided meditation. This holistic and well-rounded experience brightens our awareness of our fullest potential. When you realize your light already blazes within your own heart, you can share that light with others. Be receptive. You are limitless. This celebration is not to be missed!

Sherri will be leading her first class for Outta Hatha next Wednesday and we are making it extra special by fundraising for Gyanada Foundation. Sherri will be leading a 75-minute Dharma Yoga class on 22nd July Wednesday from 7pm to 8:15pm.  Participants pay by donations only, and 100% of funds raised will be given to Gyanada Foundation in support of their work to give disadvantaged girls across India better access to quality education. 

Dharma Yoga, created by Sri Dharma Mittra, is a graceful yet challenging form of Hatha-Raja yoga. The practice is appropriate for students of all levels. This is a holistic practice combining energising vinyasa flows with classical poses to give a well-balanced and invigorating experience. Afterwards, you'll be guided through deep healing relaxation, pranayama (breathing exercises) and a short meditation. 

The event is also supported by The Botanical Plate, whose founder Ruth Schooling is kindly donating all proceeds from sales of her Daily Cleansing Herb Scrub (60ml • SGD 15 via online or email order) till 22nd July.  Ruth will also be selling her Yoga Mat Sprays at the event, with $5 being donated to Gyanada Foundation from every purchase.
