This is a guided process into the ancient wisdom of introduction based on the Apache “NDE” Introduction system with a contemporary translation to fit people of all races or cultural backgrounds. The Sacred Seven process will expand your consciousness and open you to another world of infinite connection and ancestral  restoration. Although this teaching is at the core of many indigenous  spiritual paths Andrew Ecker has created vehicle that is applicable to anyone that wishes to expand into a deeper understanding of self . This process will explain the wisdom and technology behind the Sacred Seven, why we introduce ourselves and reconnect you to your ancestors in way that will harness a power in your everyday life, moving you to live more of an abundant human experience. Please bring 7 small stones of your choice as a representation of yourself, your mother, your father, mother’s mother, your mother;’s father & your father’s mother & your father’s father, the Sacred 7 which will also correlate with the 7 Sacred directions, the 4 in the physical and the 3 in the spiritual. 

Celebrating all aspects that bring the "aahhhh" to yoga. We begin with community introductions, then move into a bit of Ha Ha Yoga (guided chuckles), a couple soothing kirtan songs, and pranayama.

We then surrender into a gentle, slow moving, breath-connected, meditative asana, accompanied by sacred music, while inviting deep connection, emotional balancing and integration.

All levels are welcome to come relax and rejoice and rejuvenate. Not a ‘no pain no gain’ class. We will connect our hearts and celebrate this amazing time of Shift on Earth. We finish with shavasana accompanied by delicious music, closing with a chorus of Oms, ahhhhhhhhh.
