As an initiated Priestess of Deities Oya and Osun in an Indigenous Nature based System of Goddess Spirituality, I both channel and incorporate Osun & Oya's Sensuality, Healing, and Empowerment. Along with Orishas Mama Wata and Olokun, they all inform and inspire the energy, philosophy and movement of this practice.

Firstly this practice or style is based on the Malasana or Yogini Squat which is a restorative hip opening and strengthening asana/ pose which has been practiced both passively and intentionally by most if not all Indigenous peoples. 

Classes are set to sensuous music and live Sound Healing instruments.

The Original civilization of India (called Sind) was established by a Nubian peoples called the Dravidians who would have had their knowledge and culture fully in tact when they settled this area. These Dravidians established cities, cultivated the land and lived peacefully with nature.

There is symbology evidencing the presnce of what we consider yoga in Ancient Kemet. Symbols representing, the Crown Chakra (the Sun Disk), Cobras representing the Nadis which according to yogic Science are channels through which Kundalini Energy flow.

People who are not very athletic or flexible or are overweight or elderly will find this system easier because the emphasis is on flowing and ease of movement rather than how far you can go into a position.

This is how the Elder Healer Shaman of the Zulu tribe refer to the serpent energy coiled at the base of the spine. The revered Zulu Healer, Credo Mutwa, says that his granfather told him that this fearsome force is the primal source of Sangoma's powers. A sangoma must be able to be summon this umbilini at will through the beating of a drum and through meditation, very very deep meditation.

His Grandfathertold him that he could either reach the ultimate truth that is the full extent of one's mental powers. He told him that he could either do it painfully by depriving myself of food and drink and by causing my body to suffer as much as possible, or i could do it through the medium of joy, happiness and ectasy.

As an initiated Priestess of Osun (the Divine Goddess of Love, Healing, Fertility and Creativity) and of Oya (The Divine Goddess of Transformation, alchemy and empowerment) I recognize that it is these Yogini that is the blissful and transformational experience that is the rising of Kundalini Energy. I also recognize that Kundalini/ Umbilini is what is experinced as possession, trance and the Holy Ghost.

More to come...
