Mini restorative class tonight! We're going to warmup and focus on creating space and length in the body before settling in for some comfy and cozy restorative poses. See you this evening!

We're going to explore the back of the body tonight-- especially the backs of the legs-- and see if we can grow a little taller and get a little more space in the body. Last week we focused on the sides and the front of the body. A well rounded practice will make it so we can be "...healthy, round, well-adjusted, buoyant, radiant and concentrated because when you are all of those things then you have positioned yourself to be the center of a sphere. You’ve positioned yourself so that you’re round, so that if you fall, you will bounce. You’ve positioned yourself so that you’re not edgy, so that you don’t bang into people and hurt them or hurt yourself. You’ve positioned yourself, really, to be the best you can be." -Nevine Michaan
See you this evening!

On Equanimity in Fall
by Rebecca Northrop
(adapted from newsletter)

As I was driving to work today, falling leaves were dancing in the air and the light has made just enough of a shift that it's clear fall is upon us.

Last year, Brad and I got married in our backyard on a beautiful afternoon on the fall equinox. This year, Brad's mother passed away a few days after we turned to fall and found ourselves, once again, at the place in our orbit where day and night are equal.

Life is constantly evolving and everything from our bodies to our relationships is bound to change. But if we're quiet enough, we can go inside ourselves, beyond the chatter of the mind, and find a deep, connected sense to that which is beyond the constant movement of our mortal lives here on Earth. The practice of going to this place inside of ourselves gives us the ability to find equanimity. And the more consistently we practice, the easier it is to find this place of equanimity in times of change, whether those changes are things we are happy about or things that bring us great sadness.

I am forever grateful that I was introduced to the practices of yoga asana, pranayama, and meditation, at a young age by my own mother. They continue to hold me steady, my practices continue to deepen, and my ability to find equanimity, even in the hardest of times, grows easier.

It's cool and windy out there today. Tonight we're going to get the low to the ground, get length through the side body, and do some simple, nourishing pranayama (breath work). See you this evening!

We'll be focusing on creating space through the hips and the backs of the legs (and therefore, the lower back) tonight in Gentle Yoga. Don't forget to register for the 6 week series, Yoga Fundamentals, which starts THIS Saturday. I'm super psyched for this one- we're gonna get deep. Fundamentals is appropriate for both new and continuing students. See you soon!
