Creative Stretch

Stress creates a sense of otherness from ourselves, and from each other. This week, we practice a technique to help us de-stress and settle into ourselves, coming home to our own body. Note: There was a lot of air traffic during this recording session; the audio may be a little more rumble-y than usual, depending on how sensitive your listening device is.

From the back yard! With the new month, we have a new theme: Ease. I teach yoga to help people feel more at ease - physically, mentally, and emotionally...okay, but what does that *really* mean? That's what we're exploring all this month. Join me for a breathing technique & a moment of meditation, and new this month - a creative journaling prompt. Listen for all the details!

While we are learning how to cope with living in the midst of a pandemic, can we get into the tight spaces and get curious about that sensation - whether it is a physical or emotional tightness? Let's explore this together.
