strong back, soft front, wild heart: weekly online practice

TUESDAY, MAY 16
7:30 - 8:45 PM ET

SOFTENING EXTENDED PURE RESTORATIVE PRACTICE

Using a series of yin and restorative poses coupled with deep listening practices we will explore softening by meeting our tension and boundaries with compassionate awareness.

β€œAll too often our so-called strength comes from fear, not love; instead of having a strong back, many of us have a defended front shielding a weak spine. In other words, we walk around brutal and defensive, trying to conceal our lack of confidence. If we strengthen our backs, metaphorically speaking, and develop a spine that’s flexible but sturdy, then we can risk having a front that’s soft and open.” β€” Roshi Joan Halifax

β€œA wild heart is the ability to be tough and tender, excited and scared, brave and afraidβ€”all in the same moment. It's showing up in our vulnerability and our courage, being both fierce and kind.” β€”BrenΓ© Brown

Join us for a series of slow flow and restorative practicesβ€”coupled with meditationsβ€” that will help us create a solid container in which we can ease into our own vulnerability and courage, making room to release our wild heartβ€”joyful, brave, and unabashed. 

Each class in this series will build upon the previous practice, inviting us to return deeper into our bodies to create a sense of home. Through core, hip, and spine strengtheners, we’ll cultivate the capacity to uphold ourselves. Rooted and grounded, we’ll create fluidity in our psoas, chest, and shoulders with the intention of softening open to things as they really are. 

We’ll meet our tension with compassionate awareness through yin and restorative poses coupled with deep listening practices. And the series will set us up for expansive restorative chest openers to make room in our hearts for the ever-new now, so we can show up in our lives with more mindfulness, wisdom, and grace.

We are also now offering an Online Studio Membership that offers extended access to recordings from this seriesβ€”and an entire library of classes for only $55 a month. Cancel anytime. Learn more here.
