Inhale....

Exhaaaaaaaale...

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Â
WHOA.
This year has been the strangest year yet ...!
Â
Â
For a while I've been stuck in the unfairness of it all; in the grief for the familiar life crumbling in front of my very eyes; in the sicknesses, the losses, the fighting, the misunderstandings; in the fear of what has yet to unfold.
Â
Looking back I recognize that these are all signs and stages of grief.
Â
Lately I've been working on acceptance.
Accepting that the world as I know it is going through a change, that I have to adjust the way I live in it, and that each of us is struggling and muddling through this adjustment in our own way.
Â
Â
Accepting and adjusting doesn't mean that I discount my feelings.
As Dr. Deena Hinshaw poignantly said,
Â
We must make room for our grief.
Â
Anger, sadness, anxiety - the unrest we feel in our own hearts and at the level of society - are all the signs of this change. To move forward can also mean learning to be OK with what is and how we feel right in this moment.
Â
Â
Yoga helps with that, beautifully.
It creates a safe, sacred space to feel ALL the feels - the good, the bad, and the ugly. It also gets us to move our bodies, and move forward - through mindful movement. So forward we move - even if it is one little step at a time...
Â
I've been tweaking the yoga offerings to make them more worthwhile.
Here are some of the new perks:
Â
ON-LINE classes:Â from now on all classes will be recorded and available for viewing for 48 hours after the class. Class recordings will be e-mailed the morning following the class - unless I figure out a way to send them automatically!
Â
On-line classes will work on a sliding scale registrations from now on. Times are weird and tough, and I wanted to make sure these classes are as accessible as then can be.
Â
Â
IN-STUDIO classes: students registering for live classes will receive a complimentary (FREE!) access to all on-line classes as well as Explain Pain workshop on January 30.
Â
In-studio classes will have a hybrid delivery: we will work predominantly in-studio, but move on-line for the time of heightened restrictions and also when I am travelling (I figured that was a better choice then to interrupt the session right in the middle!) All on-line classes will be recorded as well and available for viewing for 48H after.Â
