Friday Morning Radical Self Care Yoga
2021-02-05 08:30 - 09:45 (America/New_York) | Zoom
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!

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 (America/New_York) | 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!

Winter Solstice YOGA

Radical Self-Care Yoga
2020-12-04 08:30 - 09:45 (America/New_York) | Zoom
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 (America/New_York) | 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.

New Offering for those who have completed Take The LEAP Coaching Program!
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” ~Marcel Proust
This offer is to provide a year long container to support you in staying connected, committed and creative with what you wish to create in your life in 2018!
So, what is a mastermind group exactly?
Mastermind groups offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your business and personal skills. A mastermind group helps you and your mastermind group members achieve success. Participants challenge each other to set powerful goals, and more importantly, to accomplish them.
Through a mastermind group process, first you create a goal, then a plan to achieve it. The group helps you with creative ideas and wise decisions-making. Then, as you begin to implement your plan, you bring both success stories and problems to the group. Success stories are applauded (loudly!), and problem are solved through peer brainstorming and collective, creative thinking.
The group requires commitment, confidentiality, willingness to both give and receive advice and ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect and compassion. Mastermind group members act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates and supportive colleagues. This is the essence and value of mastermind groups.
Each meeting has a mastermind agenda so that conversations stay on course. The Facilitator is tasked with making sure that conversations are deep and balanced, and that all mastermind group meeting agenda items are covered in the time allotted.
What a mastermind group is NOT

It’s not a class. While your group can vote to bring in guest speakers and teachers occasionally, the main focus of a mastermind group is the brainstorming and accountability support among the group members.
It’s not group coaching. Mastermind groups are about the MEMBERS sharing with each other, not about the Facilitator coaching individuals in a group setting. You get everyone’s feedback, advice and support. Yes, if the Facilitator is an expert on the topic, by all means chime in. But keep the conversation balanced between all members.
It’s not a networking group. While you may share leads and resources with each other, it is not the main focus of the meetings. However, through your connections with other members, you will find plenty of joint venture opportunities, lead sharing, and professional networking.

Chronic caretaking of others
Live in a mood of guilt

Allow yourself to be “bullied” by others wants and needs

What you will learn:

Tap into your body wisdom to tell you when you need to set a boundary
Create a roadmap of how to strengthen boundaries with mind+body practices
Practices to support you in saying “No” and to hold your boundaries with others and maintain your integrity
Living a more embodied life that will align you with well+BEING and freedom
