Igniting the Light Within Us: A Workshop to Alleviate Stress and Trauma: https://www.blueheronwellness.com/yoga-work-shops-blue-heron-wellness/

On March 14 we will be springing forward into days that are lighter thanks to Daylight Savings Time. Moving from the darkness of winter into the brightness of spring can be a metaphor for shedding the weight of anxiety and trauma in our bodies through our yoga practice. In Yoga Sutra I.36, it is stated we have a light within us which is free from all suffering and sorrow. This workshop will help us to ignite our own brilliance and keep us on a path towards healing. The workshop will include discussion, healing poses, appropriate readings and breathwork. In many ways we have all had the experience of a season filled with anxiety. Everything discussed in the workshop is always confidential. All levels of students are welcome. Poses will mainly be restorative.

This workshop will be held virtually via zoom and a link will be emailed out an hour before the workshop is set to begin.

On July 24, 2019, I had my yearly mammogram. They found cancer. The day after the mammogram I commemorated my birthday by crying in desperation and fear. Then I made a wish to be strong. It's one year later. Tomorrow I will wave my wand and give thanks for my life. I will also make a wish that if you need a mammogram you schedule one, and that if you are in treatment, you know that somewhere in Silver Spring I am sending you a wish for hope and strength. If you've got a wand, by damn, wave it. Thanks to all who did it for me.
