✨Transitions: Exploring The Seasons of Our Lives

✨Transitions: Exploring The Seasons of Our Lives through Yin Yoga✨⁠ ⁠ 🍃 Collectively we are in a time of profound transition and immense change. Shift and change is one of the great constants of our human journey and yet so much of that transitional experience can feel overwhelming and stressful. How do we begin to integrate and embody these times of threshold? To embrace our inner seasonalities and learn to stand on the edge of things? To live in the vast possibility inherent within transition, rather than the fear of what we must leave behind as we journey forward?⁠ ⁠ 🌙 In this 4-class series with Jackie Foley, we will navigate the essence of dwelling on the edges. Using the tenets of yin yoga and the innate wisdom we can source from Nature’s changing seasons, we will explore techniques we can use as allies to our physical, mental/emotional and energetic being in times of transition. Each practice throughout the series will include asana (physical posture), pranayama, visualization and guided relaxation.⁠ ⁠ 🔅 Come to the edge of things. The conversation that invites you to stand in the margins of what is behind you and look out across the threshold into your future horizon. The brink of possibilities – will you cross?⁠ ⁠ 👉Timeline:⁠ 4 Live-streamed sessions: Tue/Fri 7-8pm⁠ October 6, 9, 13, 16⁠ Led by @weavingtruth ⁠ 15 minute videos sent out to participants each morning of Oct 6, 9, 13, 16 offering a guided meditation on a specific theme related to the evening practice.⁠ ⁠ 🌻 REGISTER via LINK IN BIO!⁠ ⁠ Can’t make the live sessions? Sessions will be recorded and available for viewing 24 hours after each session until Oct 29th

“Yoga teaches us how to listen and in times like

“Yoga teaches us how to listen and in times like this we need to call on that skill.” Reflections on the news of this past week via @meghanlastra. #justiceforbreonna ・・・ I’ve been thinking a lot this morning after the heartbreaking news from last night, about the system that worked as it was intended, and how no justice was brought for Breonna Taylor. It sadly is not unexpected anymore. Hasn’t been for a long time. Still heartbreaking, always terrible, but it’s easy to feel numb. I’m leaning into this learning: Yoga teaches us how to listen and in times like this we need to call on that skill. Over the last several months I have seen many white allies strive to come up with their own or alternative solutions to the ones being presented by the BLM movement. I’ve witnessed people calling for softer or slower change. Let’s use this skill of listening here. Step back from the way you might be used to taking up space and listen to Black people and the Black leaders of this movement. What are they calling for? It’s not up to non-Black folx to decide what’s best here. People who are being oppressed are screaming what they need and too many are not listening, or hedging, or offering less radical, slow change solutions. This is a radical time. It is time for radical change. Step in to abolish the system that is no longer working and listen to what’s being asked of us in this moment. Your role in this is uniquely your own. Your practice of listening comes in here too. When you sit with yourself, how do you feel about what’s going on? When you listen to what’s being said, what is your reaction? I’m not telling you how you’re supposed to feel here, part of the work we all have here is to know where we stand. So listen deeply. Listen deeply to what’s going on and what’s being said. Take it in. Listen deeply within yourself and seek to understand how you feel. It’s from this space where we feel our next individual step. Let this be the place from which you take action. Sending out lots of love today to everyone who’s hurting. 🧡

✨Om at Home: Building Your Remote Practice✨⁠

✨Om at Home: Building Your Remote Practice✨⁠ ⁠ As remote yoga classes become more “the norm” (at least for the time being), questions about development, growth, and safety on the mat are more common than ever:⁠ ⁠ ✨Can I be sure I’m practicing safely? ✨What am I to do without access to ample space and studio props? ✨How is this posture supposed to feel in my body? ✨How can I get the benefits of hands-on, teacher-to-student adjustments without the luxury of being in the same room as my instructor?⁠ ⁠ During this 3-part online workshop, you’ll learn what to look for and feel for as you practice yoga in front of your computer (or television, or phone, or tablet, etc.). No time for a full 60-minute class? No straps, bolsters, or blocks? No space to fully stretch out? No problem. Students will be handed creative solutions to the obstacles quarantine-life has put between you and your practice.⁠ ⁠ 🍃Section 1 - Your Practice, Your Home ⁠ Students will be walked through the basics of transitioning their homes into an adequate space for practice. For yogis with limited time and space to get a full practice, time will be dedicated to exercises that can be done sitting at a desk, in bed, or while working around the house.⁠ ⁠ 🍃Section 2 - Your Body, Your Practice⁠ During this time of remote classes, it can be difficult to incorporate adjustments without a hands-on approach. This section will be dedicated to helping students investigate their physical bodies and learning what to look and feel for while practicing at home.⁠ ⁠ 🍃Section 3 - Your Practice, Your Journey⁠ Making time for remote yoga can be tricky, especially as personal schedules begin to shift and change. This final section will merge previous lessons together, with the addition of simple and effective yoga flows and postures students can do at home, on their own.⁠ ⁠ 🌙 3 sessions: Mondays 7-8pm⁠ Oct 5, 12, 19⁠ 👉 LINK IN BIO to register!⁠ ⁠ Can’t make the live sessions? Sessions will be recorded and available for viewing 24 hours after each session until Nov 1⁠ ⁠
