Guru Purnima: Purnam, the Moon Is Always Complete
Parveen Nair1h 33mRecorded 29 July 2026
What this class works with
This was the first Purnima gathering, recorded live on Guru Purnima and also the day the Patreon platform launched. The movement practice wove four recurring threads, the world, the body, the breath, and the mind, through a sequence of pendulums, warrior one, and three legged downward dog, with circular arm patterns tracing the shape of the moon. A short satsang followed on the meaning of Purnima: the moon changes shape but is never less than whole, and the practice points back to that same completeness in the self. The session closed with a short aradhana, an offering to the lineage of teachers.
