Specialty Classes

Specialty classes will come throughout the month or year to bring in some spontaneity.  These classes will bring education, some journaling if desirable, and a new lift in our every day practice of Yoga. Staying present and not stagnant  allows us to explore even deeper into our individual and higher self through inquiry and enthusiasm.

A Restorative Yoga Class combined with conversation/discussion, journaling and your pet(optional). A few days before Christmas, a time to rejoice, enjoy family, find some downtime and reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in awhile. Thinking of all of this and journaling before we begin an hour practice.
We’ll write, notice about the Winter and how the change of seasons affect our emotions, our reactions, even our moods. Giving yourself permission to slow down, and take time out for yourself is necessary! Practice this! And join me for a beautiful feeling of soft self care through an hour Restorative Yoga practice. Bringing your pet to lay down next to you as you’re practicing brings you AND your pet a sense of security, calm, less stress. Remember your pet feels your stress- when you are stressed most of the time your pet is too- they can feel the change. My dog Cobie likes to hear the calm voice as I teach ….as you can see here. Give it a try and le’ts meet your pet!

 

What to Bring to your space:
Bolster
Two Blocks
Two Blankets
Eye Pillow
A strap, tie( or bathrobe tie) or belt
Journal/pen
Cup of warm tea
Your pet!

 

Thanksgiving Sunrise Yoga

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out, and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Before you put the turkey in the oven, and wait for the warming chaos of holidays to begin- take a moment out for yourself. Give thanks to you. Now, how does that sound? Delightful, but unrealistic? I thought so too as I too will be putting the turkey in and entertaining with family. But then I stopped, and said, “this is exactly what I need to begin my holiday season” and although I’ve seen classes all over the internet on this day of thanks - I never took the serious time out for myself to try a yoga class. To calm my mind, to enjoy my yoga family in unity and gratitude for just a moment.
So…..Take a breath. Let’s do this together!
In gratitude for those who want to share a moment - I’ve lowered the specialty class price in gratitude to all of you and your commitment to yoga and self care.
Early morning is hard to get up and even more so with holidays and the hustle and bustle of “stuff” (my new go to word)… so why not try to make a point, a conscious commitment and get up early for you!
Put all things aside, roll out your mat, get on zoom and let’s float, dream, breathe, move, to the rhythm of our collective hearts and unity of family….yoga family…that keeps growing with love from all of you! It will be worth it and a memory we will cherish…2020. Namaste.
Bring two blankets, yoga mat,  warm clothes that you can move in, props if you have them and a warm heart.

Bundle and Breathe Restorative Class

Life….is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our…Breath away!
- Maya Angelou

 
 

What you will need:
yoga mat
Bolster or rolled blankets
two blocks/books
eye pillow or soft cloth for savasana
two blankets 
insulated travel mug & hot water for tea

We will open up the class for a discussion on self care, nurturing, comfort, cleansing, and self love. Questions are asked to start up a conversation and share our own stories to gain confidence in self inquiry. Or just listen and journal in silence as others speak. To feel the comfort amongst others to use our individual voice and be heard with non judgement, a smile, a nod and virtual hug.
Then an hour of a restorative yoga practice. This practice will be a sequence of maybe 6-8 asanas held a bit longer with the loving care of props placed purposefully where comfort is noticed. We take time to get into the asana, use our props, stay warm, feel protected and nurtured. Ending in savasana wrapped in blankets, tucked in for comfort, a soft eye pillow to rest our busy vision and the feel of being loved while we drift off halfway in-between awake and asleep. Meditation.
