When you stretch - your muslces are not getting longer, when you stretch you are learning to trust the range of motion and strength of the muscle.
Yupp you read that correctly & while we are at it calm is not the end all be all of practicing yoga.

So what exactly are we doing here & what exactly am I teaching then?!

In one word:
TRUST

We are helping ourselves learn that movement is safe and all emotions are okay. That we can process and move emotion in and through the body.

We come to practice and work on meeting ourselves in the moment and use the tools of yoga, somatics and more to recognize what is true.

Connecting to how the body rises, falls, contracts, expands, heats up, cools down,shakes, softens, hesitates… to movement, circumstances, and all ranges of emotion- fear, grief, joy, overwhelm, pride, all without judgement.

We are Learning to trust ourselves & to regulate our nervous system.

I get the distinct honor to share some tools to help you build that trust. 🙏🏻

- Dropping the December Class Schedule and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has trusted me this year to share in your journey towards your truest self.

**** PLEASE READ ******
A good teacher becomes great by embracing continuous learning, reflecting on their practice, seeking feedback, and staying current with educational research.

My commitment to lifelong learning allows me to adapt methods, stay passionate, and create a more effective, engaging, and inclusive learning environment for everyone.

I am so excited for this next chapter and to dive in and become a certified LYMPHATIC YOGA TEACHER. This has always been the path since incorporating GENTLE SOMATIC YOGA; and now the time is right.

Some of the November Class Offerings have had to shift so I can meet the requirements of this upcoming training.
Thank You for your understanding and support & I can not wait to come back and share what I have learned to help support you all.

Lots of things change this time of year. The weather gets cooler, the leaves change color, even our internal clocks have to shift with it getting dark so early….

🧘🏼‍♀️Let your asana be a steady and reliable
source of comfort.

🫁Stay connected to your breath. Take comfort in the one thing that has always been constant!

🍂Know that little shifts will ultimately bring you closer to center. You have to experience the shakiness to learn how to stand more steadily.

In life, there have to be uncomfortable shifts so that we can learn how to be strong and find our balance.

In every class… everytime, you deserve an experience that honors and empowers you.

You should have

•ROOM TO MOVE: space to explore and expand as you make the practice/movement your own.

•PERMISSION to find your own alignment: alignment should nurture your unique body without forcing you into any rigid shapes.

•RESPECT for your PACE: no rushing, everything is an invitation not a demand.

•PROPS for your poses: Props are tools of support, creativity & growth.

Find all of that here & more…

Today’s story introduced us to Bear - a new storybook friend who was setting off into the forest looking for treats to fill his belly before his long winter sleep.

Through imagination and movement we got to take the journey with him! This is where we practiced our yoga poses🧘🏼‍♀️.

After that long adventure we learned hibernating bear breath as a tool to help us and Bear settle down and find stillness!
We thought about what it might feel like to wake up from such a long nap &
how grumpy we might be.
We sang & moved to the “Grizzle Bear Grump”.

Making sure the children have a chance to lead & to find their voice we enjoyed a round of “Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear” where all of our friends took a turn sharing a movement.

Storytime yoga helps develops self-awareness and confidence, boosts creativity & imagination. It promotes literacy, aids in emotional regulation all while building strength and flexibility.

I am so honored to share these moments with them.
