We may look forward to the holidays, but they can also be stressful. As the days get colder and shorter, and life becomes more sedentary, why not give yourself permission to take some time for yourself? Together, before the activities of the day begin, we’ll quietly journey inward, gently move our one and only body, feel the support of the ground, calm ourselves and breathe.

During the colder months we tend inadvertently to raise and squeeze our shoulders to keep ourselves warm. Ironically these actions can create unwanted tension rather than warmth. In this series 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.  We’ll notice ease and increased blood flow in the upper body, warming us up as we move through the chillier weather.

“I enjoyed the ‘Awaken the Shoulder Girdle’ series with Julia Juhas. I learned a lot about shoulders and mine have never felt so released and relaxed! Each class was a perfect blend of information, instruction, and helpful feedback in a safe and friendly space. ” Jan Fleming

In this morning series, we will explore the movements we make into and out of classic hatha yoga postures and view and experience them as unique opportunities that connect us to the ground, our bodies and our breath. As a result, we begin each day from a place where body and mind are centered in the present moment.

Paola di Paolo is certified through Esther Myers Yoga Studio and 3HO.  She teaches Kundalini yoga and Hatha yoga.

Sundays, March 6 – 27, with Lauren Anastasi, 8:30am-9:45am ET, $100/4 weeks, $23/class
on Zoom

Start your day with a gentle guided walking meditation. This can be done in your home, around your neighbourhood or in a park nearby. As you walk, you will be given suggestions for how to connect to your breath, to your stride and to your senses. We will explore gathas, hand mudras and practising with a soft smile.  The teachings are inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh. There will be time to pause, ask questions and make observations along the way.

If you are walking with us away from your home, you will need a cellular device with data and possibly headphones to free up your hands and arms.
