Prana, Presence & Prayer
LIMITED

Masonic Temple (Theater)
Limited Capacity seats available
This immersive workshop weaves together the subtle wisdom of marma therapy, the transformative power of pranayama, and the heart-opening grace of bhakti-infused movement. Designed as a holistic journey inward, the experience invites participants to reconnect with their inner vitality, balance the nervous system, and cultivate a deep sense of devotion and presence.

The session begins with guided pranayama led by Mitesh Raichada, who will skillfully introduce breath practices to regulate energy (prana), calm the mind, and create a grounded, receptive state. Through intentional breathing techniques, participants will awaken subtle awareness and prepare the body for deeper energetic work.

Sneha Raichada will then guide an exploration of marma points—vital energy centers in the body rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. With gentle touch and mindful attention, participants will learn how to stimulate and balance these points to support physical, emotional, and energetic harmony.

Building on this awakened state, Seán Johnson will lead a gentle bhakti vinyasa sequence designed to open the heart and invite a sense of devotion and connection. Infused with music, mantra, and fluid movement, this creative practice encourages participants to move from the inside out with love and intention.

Together, these three modalities create a deeply nourishing and integrative experience—one that harmonizes breath, body, and spirit, and leaves participants feeling centered, uplifted, and connected to the heart.
