Balance Yoga and Healing Arts

Join Jackie Sunday for a workshop dissecting the movements that make up surya namaskara (sun salutations), highlighting the elusive transitions from chaturanga dandasana (four-limbed staff pose) to urdhva mukha svanasana (upward facing dog) or bhujangasana (cobra), into adho mukha svanasana (downward facing dog). Since we move from one position to the next succinctly on an inhale or an exhale, these motions can often go overlooked and pain or discomfort can ensue when things are not in the right place. In this 2 hour virtual workshop, we will break it all down and you will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout.

Last week we asked about your self care, a healthy daily routine is a crucial part of self care. Do you set up your day to allow for enough sleep, healthy meals, taking a moment to notice you are breathing or time for doing things that bring you joy?

Learn the basic fundamentals of yoga postures and breathing techniques. This is a great way to start a yoga practice without the intimidation of a group class or for students who want to brush up on the basics. The focus will be on proper alignment of basic yoga poses, using breathing techniques and other tools of yoga. We will also explore yogic philosophy in order to understand the practice holistically and appreciate its meditative qualities. Thursdays 1/7, 1/14, 1/28, 1/21

Practice Matters: Nectar of Connection Nature offers many examples of the positive benefits of cooperation. We were taught that survival of the fittest wins. In fact, we evolved to support one another and work together. Survival of the connected is our reality. When we are struggling and full of fear, it is so challenging to trust, love, and feel safe. Yet that is exactly the time to courageously move beyond the fear by going deeper. Find the wellspring of connection and kind...ness that feeds us from the inside out, and know that you will savor the nectar of your humanity. When can we practice? Always!
