Restorative Yin | Rest is Revolutionary
35 Min • In Ayurveda, sleep is considered one of the three pillars of life. It is the force of integration, renewal and rejuvenation. Grind culture and championed productivity is the thief of deep rest. To truly drop into a state of rest is a form of resistance to our conditioned nature of capitalism and constant doing. Rest is a radical act of love. Enjoy rest through deep hip opening.
Restorative Yin | Boundaries as the scaffolding of self-care
40 Min • In Yoga and Ayurveda, boundaries can be understood as an expression of Earth element. Boundaries are the stabilizing and grounding force that enables us to manage our energy wisely. Nedra Tawwab writes “boundaries will set you free.” In this yin practice we will use the wall as a metaphor for leaning into the power of boundaries as a way to explore the structures to safeguard our emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Poses include deep hip opening and heart opening.
Restorative Yin | Leaning into Non-Resistance
45 Min • There is a saying in yoga “what we resist, persists.” It is in psychological biology to resist - everything from change, from the status quo, from how things were. When we let things be and open to acceptance of what is, we come into inner alignment with the present moment. This is a practice of hip & heart opening poses to cultivate non-resistance.
Vinyasa | Recognizing Enough
45 Min • This heart opening vinyasa practice is focused on cultivating what the yogi’s call “Santosha” or contentment. Through gratitude, we rediscover the fullness of each given moment and shift our emphasis from blind ambition to present acceptance.
