This evening sadhana is shaped around rūkṣaṇa — drying out what has become too wet, heavy, or stagnant. Tiffany opens by speaking directly to the season: after very damp days, moisture can settle not only in the body as swelling, holding, and sluggishness, but also in the mind and heart as dullness, withdrawal, and a kind of inner heaviness. The intention of the class is simple and clear: to lighten things, dry things, and help move what has been sitting.
The practice begins seated, with prayer and breath, then includes a gentle cleansing breath to warm and brighten without overstimulating. From there, Tiffany keeps the class close to the earth, moving through active spinal work, low twists, grounded strengthening, and gentle heat-building shapes that help circulate energy through the belly, chest, shoulders, hips, and spine. Again and again she returns to the middle way: not too much heat, not too much effort, but a measured clearing that still honors evening time. The class closes with candle gazing, letting the flame gather the mind into steadiness and quiet clarity. A beautiful evening practice for spring dampness, stagnation, and any time the system needs lightening without losing softness.
