🔥 Reignite Your Inner Fire: The Practice of Tapas


Namaste, Reader.

As the seasons shift and the air turns crisp, our inner rhythm slows — inviting us to pause, reflect, and rekindle the warmth within.

In yogic philosophy, the word tapas means “to heat” or “to burn.” It represents the discipline, energy, and focused effort that help us transform. But tapas isn’t about pushing harder or striving for perfection — it’s about showing up with presence, tending to your practice like a steady flame that grows stronger over time.

This is the heart of the FIRE Series — Heart2Brain Yoga’s trauma-informed, accessible strength practice. Each session builds warmth in the body and clarity in the mind through movement, breathwork, and mindful strength training.

Whether you’re rediscovering consistency in your practice or seeking a cozy, energizing reset, FIRE offers a safe, adaptable space to explore your edges — and soften where you need to.

Each class weaves together:
✨ Strength-building yoga sequences (with props for accessibility)
✨ Breath patterns to stoke energy and focus
✨ Restorative counterposes to balance effort with ease
✨ Reflections on tapas — the inner fire that fuels transformation

This fall, let your practice be the hearth that keeps you centered and strong — one breath, one spark at a time.
