The Afterglow- Sara Jean Yoga

04/11/2025

Restorative yoga can unlock so much.

Today, during my restorative class, I could tell a new student was really struggling. The rest of the class was resting solidly in a soothing posture.

My brain debated on whether I should walk over to her to assist/help. That’s my personality- she’s new, I hate interfering where I’m not wanted, and I like giving my students space for their reactions.

But, today I walked over.

And she was crying.

I could see and empathize with her struggle & pain. She’d carved out this time to relax, but it wasn’t working.

I asked the student if I could touch her & then when she replied yes I placed a gentle hand on her shoulder and assured her that she is doing nothing wrong. I helped her set up in a better pose for her body. I told her she is safe. That’s she’s doing it “right”. And some other yogic stuff 😉. Then I walked away and continued guiding class.

This is sacred. In my classes, I’m aware that this deep work is being done all the time. It’s not me/ it’s a student saying yes to something. Even when you simple arrive at a class you say yes. Then that something takes over and shifts or opens spaces within. What a sacred space I get to witness and hold in my work.

The student and I connected after class and she’s coming back. She’s saying yes. She’s open and so am I. 🌙💆🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

January brings with it a social pressure to remake, redo, restart. I have a view that is different, if I may offer it. It is shared by many others, though less popular in the culture. In January, the northern hemisphere is at its coldest, most quiet space in nature. We can follow suit. We can quiet ourselves, come inward, heal, listen. This will set the stage for the rebirth of Spring which comes in a few months. Spring is the time to utilize the energy for shift and change. Now is the time to Winter … recover from the hectic holidays. Dissolve into Stillness for an hour with me.

I’m hosting another series of Yoga Nidra in my home this month. My first is a daytime, January 12, 9:30 AM, the next will be Jan 26, 5:30 PM for those that prefer evening. I’ll post about that one also. Sign up for either or both with me to save your spot.
