The Class

The Class A music-driven somatic method where we exercise the body to engage the mind and open the heart. Founded by Taryn Toomey

The practice is mat-based and music-driven. We repeat one move per song to create sensation in the body and observe our thoughts. In any given Class students can expect guided instruction and a carefully curated playlist to lead them through exercises they are familiar with such as—squats, jumping jacks, and burpees. The result is a mental clearing and emotional release. Through continued practice, students develop tools to empower their life, along with an incredibly strong, resilient, body.

The Autumn Equinox arrived yesterday, marking a threshold of balance where light and dark are held in equal measure.

This week is a gentle turning point in nature’s rhythm, reminding us that every ending carries the seed of a beginning.

As the sun slips south of the celestial equator, we’re invited to pause, reflect, and release what no longer serves us. What are you ready to let go of? And what’s ready to begin again?

What’s inspiring us today: Jenny Holzer is an American artist best known for her Truisms series displayed on storefronts, movie theatres, billboards, and in museums. 

“I used language because I wanted to offer content that people - not necessarily art people - could understand.” She uses these maxims to express multiple viewpoints to arouse laughter, joy, surprise, etc…

As you read these, what do they pull out of you? We invite you to think about the emotional powers of language and how words can move.

The Class is about movement.  
It’s also about noticing. 
Feeling. 
Letting go.  

You will get stronger, but in a way that reaches far beyond the body and into who you are and how you live.  

Try it to sweat, help move through through emotions, and find community.

Tomorrow’s full moon rises in the sign of the sensitive fish. Take this period to slow down, explore your inner self, and meet yourself with compassion as you let go of what no longer serves you. 

Under this moon you may feel slower than usual, this is the call to rest and dream. Try not to get restless, it will pass. Instead, channel the creative and imaginative qualities of Pisces into creative endeavors and pursuits.

Ready for Class tonight.
