Join .yoga class 'letting go' to help you feel blissfully relaxed and rejuvenated. We begin standing in a slight Goddess stance to practice some Pranayama exercises. When we deepen the breath and slow it down, we immediately lower our stress levels. We then move onto some Yin yoga poses including Butterfly, Sphinx pose, Dragonfly pose and more, and end with a grounding meditation, perfect class for a lazy Sunday.

Enjoy ✨

It’s not our job as yoga teachers to diagnose, fix, or treat people. Our job instead is to *increase people’s capacity to handle load*. And while this can certainly come in the obvious form of increasing people’s physical strength, it can also come in many other valuable forms!
We can teach *restorative poses* that are longer-held & supported with props to encourage the downregulation of the nervous system and the many beneficial physiological responses that come along with that shift.
This can help increase our students’ capacity to handle the *neuroendocrine loads* of chronic stress.
We can teach meditation (either seated meditation or a general meditative focus as we move mindfully through our yoga poses), which increases a feeling of presence & connection to the body.
This can be helpful in many ways, but I especially appreciate how the skill of self-observation can help us become less reactive and more resilient to the *emotional loads* in our lives.
We can cultivate an environment of *community & connection* in our classes, which can help bolster a sense social inclusivity & the resiliency that comes along with that.
And of course, we can teach poses with an emphasis on *strength* to increase the capacity of our students’ physical tissues to withstand *biomechanical loads* 💪🏽
Aren’t we so fortunate to have this much power to help & affect people through our yoga teaching? And we can do all of this (and much more!) without diagnosing or “fixing” people in any way. (Which is great because that’s not our job anyway!)
Thank you to my teacher for stating the above quote so eloquently. It’s such an empowering reminder for us! 👏🏽
