Different From Traditional Yoga
One of the key differences between Buti Yoga and power yoga, hot yoga, or other traditional yoga flows is its focus on “shakti“: energizing the divine feminine energy inside, which is believed to be the source of creative expression and transformation.
Note: Buti Yoga classes often include chanting (and other rituals) to help practitioners tap into their shakti and cultivate a sense of empowerment and connection to their bodies.

Set an intention!
In yoga, you set an intention at the beginning of your practice. As a Christian, I like to choose bible verses that can lead my practice- and day- in a positive direction. Here are some of my favorites:
- Psalm 16:9 – “Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.“
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
