7-8pm Eastern, Live on Zoom. 2 day replay.
$25 per class. Register for as many sessions as you like.
Each participant will need a yoga mat, coregous ball or small pilates ball and a blanket/beach towel/small pillow, with space around to move.
Every day we navigate the challenges of living in today’s world. The news, family life, school, work and our own inner lives can create a steady stream of stress that can feel innumerable.
Our ability to move through life – and, ideally, a sense that we can actually thrive – depends in large part on our ability to rest and recover. Yet for many of us, slowing down can feel surprisingly difficult. Instead of feeling calmer, we may become more agitated, anxious or aware of just how stressed we truly are.
The good news is rest is a skill we can practice.
Through gentle movement, breathing, self-massage and the experience of being in community this class offers practical ways for your body and mind to unwind, recover and develop greater resilience.
How will you feel with regular practice?
Why does this matter?
Stress is a reality in everyone’s life, and it isn’t going anywhere!
Very few of us were taught practical, effective strategies for managing stress. Without those tools we often turn to coping mechanisms that may offer temporary relief, but don’t actually allow us to recover (I’m looking at you doom scrolling, booze, Netflix zone out and online shopping).
We ways to unwind after full weeks of working and parenting, caregiving and simply navigating the world. We also need the resilience to gear back up when life asks us all to do it again.
For many of us, slowing down is easier said than done. When we finally stop moving we may discover that our minds are still racing and our bodies are braced for what comes next.
This class is an opportunity to practice something different: learning how to recognize stress, respond to it, and find your way back toward a greater sense of calm and capacity.
And because we live and work in relationship to others, this matters beyond ourselves. We are constantly affecting and are affected by the people around us. When we have the capacity to stay grounded and present, we are less likely to get swept up into someone else’s stress. We hold a greater ability to create a sense of steadiness in our interactions.
This is not about eliminating stress. It is about developing the skills to meet it, recover from it and keep coming back to yourself.
