Yin Yoga

Attention yogis and dancers!!! There’s a reason you love energy (movement, breath, flow) and structure (physicality, the body, mass). In this Core Zero Balancing Workshop being held 4/28/22 -5/1/22 (just outside of Philly) you’ll gain a deeper understanding of energy and structure: insights that can enrich your yoga and dance practice.
No prior experience or certifications required. Approved CEU provider for NCBTMB.

What is Zero Balancing?

Zero Balancing is a gentle yet powerful system of skilled touch that heightens an increased sense of connection, peace, balance and harmony by working with expanded states of consciousness.

By engendering expanded states of consciousness – beyond a linear consciousness – ZB allows us to be in touch with our internal world, allowing it to shift and expand to more easily reframe our life history.

Developed in the early 1970s by Fritz Frederick Smith MD, a doctor of medicine and osteopathy and master of acupuncture, Dr Smith’s extensive study of Western scientific models and Eastern principles of energy and healing afforded him a unique insight into the relationship between energy or “chi”, as a force in the body, and the structural anatomy of the skeleton.

Dr Smith’s desire to integrate these principles into a single therapeutic system culminated in his developing Zero Balancing.

Zoom Class with Lisa Bardarson RYT-500

SPECIAL EVENING POP UP CLASS
Please join me for a special evening SloMoYo class

$15

Friday, November 5, 2021 from 8:00 p.m. to 9:15 p.m Eastern Daylight Time

PM for details

In these challenging times, please consider joining me as we move, stretch, breathe and restore ourselves through the unique somatic offerings found in SloMoYo. In this 75 minute practice we will focus on the element of Metal which is dominant during the season of Fall. Fall is a time of turning inward and letting go. Not always easy following the abundance of summer but in order to prepare for winter (and the following spring) we need to let go and shed that which we don’t need. The two organs that correspond with the element of Metal are the lungs (taking in pure air/inspiration) and the colon (eliminating waste/releasing).

I hope to see you. ~Lisa

I've been dreaming of hosting a retreat in Costa Rica. Interested? Please message me, and I'll place you on the waiting list.

There are many benefits to immersing the body in cold water. It calms the nervous system by helping the vagus nerve to re-regulate, and can be beneficial for reducing sore muscles and inflammation. I recommend starting with a cold shower. Three bags of ice in my tub was really challenging and not for the faint of heart! If you have any underlying conditions please don’t do this alone. Get set, refresh and reset!

First off, as you may already know, I'll be transitioning to a fee-based platform starting on Labor Day. I've been teaching gratis (and gratefully) since May 2020. I set this intention then as part of my Dharma (service) in the context of COVID with the thought of making connection, ease, and flow accessible to all. I want you to know that it was a win-win -- while I was "giving it away for free", it helped me to be focused, grounded, and filled with purpose. So, thank you for that.

And now that things are opening up (please, may it be so), it feels right to begin to revise my approach by charging for my service. That being said, if there's hardship for you, please let me know, and we can work something out: https://lisabardarson.com/contact/.

In my last SloMoYo class, I discussed the "short breath in, long breath out" technique. I have included a YouTube video that does a great job of explaining this simple, accessible technique for relieving anxiety. It can be done in your car, the grocery line, or wherever works best for you. It resets the nervous system and is a great tool to have in your back pocket for those moments when things start to spin out of control. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQjGqtH-2YI!

I was gonna give this away and then I decided I should keep it. Duh.

I’ve been taking a breather from SloMoYo so I can rejuvenate and gain a fresh perspective. See me here as I ponder life from a different angle. I’m gathering fresh insight for when I return to SloMoYo on Monday, June 21st. Classes will continue to be offered at no charge until Labor Day. After that there will be a fee. Hope to see you in the Zoom Room!

I’m excited to announce an upgrade in the quality of my audio/visuals for SloMoYo. I know this behind-the-scenes pic looks messy and confusing but I trust it’s going to lead to a better experience in the SloMoYo Zoom room. Woohoo! Come see for yourself.
Lets re-order the confusion and messiness of our bodies and minds and experience connection, breath and flow.
Join me next Monday, 12-1 EDT

Bananas. I love to eat them but don’t know a lot about them. Here is what I found out. They’re high in fiber, potassium and magnesium and great for aiding digestion and heart-health. In my days as a dancer, bananas were a favorite go-to: loved for their delicious flavor, convenience and enhancement of muscle-functioning. Anything for an edge! 💃🏼
On a walk last week I was appreciating the red flower on this magnificent banana tree. I was fascinated by the prehistoric-looking red pod and imagined some strange creature might wriggle out of it à la the movie Alien. And I never knew that bananas grew in upward arcs like this until I moved to Costa Rica four years ago. And I didn’t know that they grew all stuck together either (which explains those funny ridges). Bananas. A fruit that tastes delicious. A word that can describe crazy behavior. A fruit we take for granted because it’s easy to grab and always in the grocery store. Bananas are cool!
Here’s my advice; eat a banana instead of a cookie. Just as satisfying and way more nutritious. And while you’re at it, consider coming to a SloMoYo class. It’s free and I can practically guarantee you’ll feel better. You’d be bananas not to! Hope to see you there🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
