Anyone interested in a relaxing yoga/meditation practice around lunch time tomorrow?

Join us Tuesday 6/29 at 12:15 Est for YIN YOGA on Zoom 🙏🏼

The class is 30 minutes and cost is $5.

If you are new to Yin Yoga, it is not like other class styles. You can think of Yin as meditating while holding deep stretches.

This highly meditative practice focuses on holding poses for longer periods of time in order to release the connective tissues of the body and to relieve stress and tension.

It’s suitable for all levels including beginners.

You are going to feel all the peaceful healing vibes ❤️✨

MUST REGISTER TO ATTEND: comment and I’ll send you the link

Payment of $5 via Venmo

Here’s a quick 20-minute practice if you need a mood boost ❤️🙏🏼

Eeeeekkk!!! I'm so excited to teach a free class on ZOOM on Tuesday!

I'll be teaching Yin Yoga this Tuesday, September 1st at 6:30 pm EST.

Yin style is different than the type of yoga that I usually teach. Yin moves at a slower pace and is focused on deep and intense stretching to relieve stress and release negative emotions.

You will feel so peaceful and stress-free afterward!

It's FREE to attend but please sign up at the ZOOM link so you get the login info and I know who to expect!

Hi friends, it is with an abundance of care and concern for each of you that we have decided to postpone classes. Based on the guidance from the CDC and WHO, I think this is the best course of action for now.

Please check back on my page bc I will be posting some practices on YouTube (and sharing here). That we can all do during this time of social distancing.

Comment below if you are interested in an online Asana class and meditation. I’m happy to set one of those up if folks are interested.

Thanks!

I’ve always said, “I just feel better when I practice yoga.” Here are some reasons why 🙏🏼💫

I ’d like to recommend this book to those who seek to understand meditation and mindfulness in easy language and everyday terms.
-
This book simply illustrates how meditation can teach you a different, more peaceful and more joyful way to live.
-
-
I’ve gained new language to use when teaching students and a deeper understanding myself.
-
-
It was well over a year ago that I picked this book up (somewhere in Utah) while on a year-long road trip. Funny how I held on to it and read it as just the right time to connect the teachings to my life.

I’ll place the card on their mat during the meditation for them to find at the end of class.

This new video discusses the work of Pema Chodron on 5 qualities that we cultivate through regular meditation practice. These teachings show us that the benefits of meditation go way beyond stress relief. Meditation can change the course of your whole life and give you gifts you cannot even imagine.

-
My asana practice is rooted in the strong foundation of a regular meditation practice. The more I bring this intense mindfulness into my asana, the more I am amazed at what my body can do.

Even my runs and other workouts have been dedicated to spiritual growth and spiritual practice rather than physical gains and I have never loved or appreciated my body more.

I’ve been so inspired by the Path of Raja Yoga so I thought I would share a few posts about it for anyone else who is interested.

Raja Yoga is a structure for living yoga principles off the mat.

Beyond asana (the physical practice of yoga), Raja Yoga has a strong focus on meditation and mastery of the ego and emotions.

There are also certain principles for living a love-filled life for the highest good of all. These are known as the Yamas and Niyamas.

I look forward to sharing more soon!
