The cranium is home to 21 bones, 3 chakras, 3 brains, and 7 sensory openings or “gates.” In this unique class, Tias guides how to balance the skull in meditation, SATYA and asana practice. Through movement practices, we release tension in the neck, cranium, jaw, tongue, and inner ear. Throughout the class, we balance the sacrum with the skull in order to help release the connective tissues that surround the brain. These practices are valuable in the case of headaches, TMJ strain, eye strain, head injury, or insomnia. All practices bring sattva (relaxation), light and clarity to the upper body. By softening sensory awareness (pratyahara), we connect to a profound stillness within.
