Good morning Sweet Hearts!
The invitation for Friday Morning Radical Self Care Yoga will be to explore Valentine’s radical compassion and wholehearted living on-and-off the mat.

Yoga is the perfect practice to support this process of regulation of our nervous systems so that we can access the beauty of our true nature through self-acceptance, self-nurturance and living from a more wholehearted place in our daily life. Anahata, the sanskrit word for the heart chakra means unstruck, unhurt: who we are prior to our life experiences…our true nature.
Living our daily lives from a place of compassion and love are the building blocks for health, well-being and sustaining satisfying relationships.
Wholehearted living is living in deeper connection with ourself and opening our hearts in relationships, building and strengthening connections and seeing yourself as an integral part of the whole.

Friday Morning Radical Self Care Yoga

Our theme for Friday’s Class is using your on-the-mat living, moving, breathing meditation to explore connection inside and out. Connection is the building block for survival.

We are hard-wired to feel this connection as part of our most recently evolved branch of our autonomic nervous system finds safety through connection with others and allows us to find safety in our bodies most efficiently with breath and interoceptive awareness (tuning in to what’s happening in your body.)

When we feel this connection we feel safe in our bodies which allows us to play, be productive, thrive!

Here’s a great quote by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.”

A few thoughts on virtual yoga...

First, BE ON TIME! It is hard to manage the admission while teaching, so once we get started, usually after the first few minutes, I will step away from allowing folks into the room.
Celebrate and have fun with this experiment of being together on the mat and be curious about the experience. As with anything these days, the practice will bring challenges as well as opportunities.
You can do more pranayama (breath practice) comfortably!
You can have more freedom to “just do you”…get up and go to the bathroom, get a drink of water, etc.
You can chant OM as loudly as you wish without feeling self-conscious

Please have on-hand close by to support you in your at-home virtual yoga experience:
1) Yoga Mat
2) A couple of blankets
3) A couple of blocks and/or something that can substitute as a block (large books)
4) A couple of pillows

To improve your Zoom virtual yoga experience:
1) Mute yourself during the class unless you have a question.
2) Click on my picture and “PIN” me by clicking on the three dots in the corner of the screen – there will be a drop down and you can PIN me — this will make the viewing more clear for the class.
3) I think the sound quality should be fine; however, someone encouraged me to have participants link the sound to a speaker on bluetooth if you want to improve the sound.

Light + Love~

Greetings Friends!

This Friday’s Radical Self-Care Yoga class will explore practices to support us to overcome obstacles. Patterns of tension, holding, heaviness and mind patterns such as depression and anxiety–rumination create blockages and obstacles, disallowing us from being present with ourselves and feeling the light from within. So…we’re going to find clearing and releasing to support wholeness and integration!

New Year's Day Radical Self Care Yoga
2020-12-30 08:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
It’s a new beginning. We are creative beings and when we can access our personal power, we can find our voice, our sankalpa ( a statement that reflects our truth) — even in hard, wickedly weird, painful challenging times…we can find our voice and begin again.
We will build some fire to ignite our sankalpas with breath-work, movement and finding creativity in our practice!

Come and join us!

Come and join in for a practice exploring polarities that are alive and well within us all. We see these polarities in Nature with the sun and the moon, light and dark, heat and cold…and, they also live in us as strength and softness, tension and relaxation, grounding and rising. As we become more aware of our bodies on the mat, through our moving exploration and meditation we can begin to discover the treasure trove inside of us and become more conscious of these forces and how to use them intentionally with awareness in our choices.

Radical Self-Care Yoga
2020-11-27 08:30 - 09:45 | Zoom
Yoga is about creating more intimacy with yourself; to untangle and release all of the parts of you that keep you from being alive and present –and feeling into the full-body aliveness that is deep within you, just waiting for you to discover and live in.
Once you discover this, in your yoga practice, you will intuitively begin to feel into what your body needs.
You will begin to have more access to your inner-whisper to how to center more in your day-to-day life.
I am honored to have your presence in our class.
This class is appropriate for anyone.
Modifications are encouraged.
