Themed Yoga Classes

Yoga nidra is a meditation practice with roots reaching back to the time of the Upanishads. Today, Yoga Nidra is widely used both as a meditation practice and as a therapeutic tool for psychological trauma and distress. Yoga Nidra produces a state of deep relaxation similar to sleep, but in which we remain aware. From this place of stillness, we notice and welcome the comings and goings of different aspects and layers of the self. These aspects/layers (referred to as the “koshas”) include physical sensations in the body, the breath, feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs and the sense of the self as separate. Each class in the series will touch on most, if not all, of the koshas; however, there will be an emphasis on a different kosha each week.

Within our bodies we hold natural sources of energy and resilience which give us the ability to rebound and heal. Let’s explore how connecting to our bones, heart, nervous system and breathing can reenergize us. This energy can be gentle and soothing, powerful and surprising. We hold this potential within us, all we need to do is turn inwards and explore, practise and experience. 

Monday, November 2 – Friday, November 6, with Monica Voss
8:00am-9:15am ET, on Zoom

Many of us have been searching for meaning during this pandemic. Devotion to – or even momentary awareness of – Nature will provide succour to our discouraged minds, physical support for our tired bodies, rich sensory experience and will foster hope in our hearts. Take time during your practice to appreciate the environment outside your body, outside your home. As a focus for meditation, the natural world holds infinite variety and promise.

Monday, November 9 – Friday November 13, with Julia Juhas
8:00am-9:15am ET, on Zoom

Although the shoulder girdle is brilliantly designed to be extremely mobile, more often than not, it feels the opposite due to the weight of the world we carry on our shoulders.  Why not lighten the load? Let’s rediscover shoulder mobility through the exploration of movement of the bones and soft tissue that make up the shoulder girdle and how these movements impact the spine.

Our experience of the elements offers tremendous inspiration. Equating our bones with the earth, our breath with air, drawing on the soothing, undulating and surging qualities of water and the warmth and power of fire, we enter into creative practice based in personal exploration, grounded through the postures, and fed by the imagination.
