Saturdays 11:00am - 12:15pm
Starting November 2
Led by Tiger Rahman, M.A.Ed, 500-CYT (they/he)
Founder of Live Your Own Life
Life is hard. Let’s play.
Strength and stability for the mind and body. Tools to live your own life.
“Of all spiritual disciplines, knowledge of Self is verily the direct means for liberation as fire for cooking. Liberation cannot be attained without knowledge of Self”. - Adi Shankaracharya, Atmabodha v. 2
The body, mind, and intellect are windows - they reflect our nature when closed …these same windows let in our nature when open.
All action begins with consciousness and thought.
It doesn’t matter how subtle your action is, and inaction is impossible.
Belief, attention, and intention over time lead to powerful results.
Subtle Strength
Start the weekend with a focus on subtle strength and stabilization of the physical and emotional bodies.
Classes will progress through an arc of breath, group check-ins, journaling, visualization, supported physical engagement, and dialogue.
Expect that each student will explore the physical practice in different ways, including as completely internalized practices.
Masks required, previous skills aren’t. All bodies welcome.
Regain strength and dynamism.

We offer a self-determined sliding scale based on the ways that your identity grants you access to privilege and to social capital, e.g. race, gender & sexual identity, socio-economic status, educational background, able-bodied-ness, etc.
