Yoga for the brokenhearted

Pursuing the practice of yoga has given me many things, and one of these things has been a broken heart.

Let me explain.

Yoga is about cultivating awareness of ALL things, without discrimination. So when we open ourselves to the ways of the world, we experience both the joy and the sorrow. We see the generosity and the greed; both intelligence and idiocy; the caring and the apathy.

Yoga means resolving to bear witness to the way we both help, and harm, eachother. In the easy times, we can just drink it all in and bask in the glow! In the hard times, it requires greater determination: how do we keep showing up? How do we keep our hearts from breaking?

If we truly engage in this complicated and messy world, our hearts will break. It is inevitable. We must let them break. We have to let the world in.

So yoga didn’t break my heart, per se – it helped me realize it was already broken.

Before you start sending me referrals to therapists, hold on: it gets better.

Once we realize the state of things, only then can we do something about it. Yoga gives us the tools to mend our hearts. It gives us the chance to practise starting again, with compassion and curiosity. Every breath can be a fresh moment, a fresh start. It is a practice of forgiveness.

If we think others are incorrigible, how does that affect the way we treat ourselves?

Let’s not give up on ourselves. Let’s take care of our broken hearts, together.

Version 2.0 of PPE is here!!!

I’m very excited to share that our online yoga library has been updated!

Pandemic Practice Experience (PPE) is now Version 2.0, with the addition of TEN brand new videos! Thanks to your feedback, I’ve made practices that are shorter (ranging from 10 to 40 min) so that it’s easier to fit into your schedule.

Designed to be efficient, accessible, and diverse, the new practices are:

1. Yoga for Strength
2. Yoga for Calming Down
3. Yoga for Mobility
4. Yoga for Balance
5. Yoga for Wrist / Shoulder Injury (no downdogs or vinyasas!)
6. Yoga for Energy
7. Yoga for De-stressing
8. Yoga for the AM
9. Yoga for the PM
10. Yoga for Sleep (on the sofa!)

There’s a ton more physical demonstration in these videos, to help out the visual learners among us. I had a lot of fun designing these practices for you; enjoy and let me know what you think!

February livestream yoga session – starts Feb 7

The winds of life can blow from all directions – both favourably and not. When the going gets tough, we might collapse and give up – or, harden in resentment. When this happens, can we develop agility in our strength? Can we mend our broken hearts with tender compassion? Let’s support each other as we dig deeper.

Join me live for four Mondays this February to share in nourishing and supportive yoga practices:

SOFT FRONT, STRONG BACK: YIN & YANG YOGA
Mondays 5:30-6:30 pm CT
Feb 7, 14, 21, and 28
$50 (includes 7-day replay)

Each day of class, you will be emailed a unique Zoom link to gain access. Feel free to hop onto the Zoom 5 minutes early to say hi and chat!
