“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”

Dynamic: a force that stimulates change or progress within a system or process.
Dynamic Release Method™ (aka DRM: flow) is a one-of-kind yoga practice, created by Amber Campion. A hatha-flow style practice, focusing on deep nervous system repair through the presence of sensation, the power of breath, and the potency of myo-fascial release - all set to a heart-opening, practical dharma talk and an exquisite playlist to move your soul. What sets a D.R.M class apart from other flow-style classes is the way students are guided to move - as if moving under thick saltwater (slow and intentional). Students are led to move as if doing Qigong; softening the joints, breathing slowly, waving through the spine, and encouraging movement to originate from the deep core (your center). Sequencing is soulful and thoughtful, creating an embodied experience that feels both silky and strong. You can expect a unique take on sun salutations, as well as functional alignment cues for standing & seated postures, back bending, and inversions —all guided by a steady breath and mindfulness. Towards the end of class, we go deeper into balancing the nervous system by doing myofascial release using tennis balls. The result is a heart-centering, body-opening, soul-expanding release. D.R.M will challenge you, illuminate you, and create an incredibly strong and resilient body and mind.
The effects of D.R.M seek to expand the mind, release dis-ease in the body, and ignite the soul. This balancing and grounding method revitalizes the nervous system by fusing both Yang (active) and Yin (passive) energies. The flow is designed to build both somatic intelligence and deep release in the physical, emotional, mental, and subtle bodies. Based on the principle of balancing polarities:
Sthira (Stability/Integrity/Refinement)
Sukha (Flow/Flexibility/Expression)
D.R.M intelligently guides students to safely develop physical strength, create space for deep release in the body and mind, as well as cultivate the flow of inner power (vital life force energy), also known as Prana or Qi.
Open to all levels, though in some classes we do explore more challenging postures, such as inversions, arm balances, and binding. Please do not let this keep you from joining class, as you will be instructed on variations to suit your needs.
