There have been more than enough times where we’ve heard someone coo at us to “slow down” – so much so that it has become a little trite. And yet, perhaps we keep hearing the reminder because we need it, because it’s so hard to do, and the systems around us aren’t helping.

We do what we can. Practise slowing down with me this July. These beautiful, short summers deserve all our attention.

RISING FROM ROCK: YIN & YANG YOGA
Mondays 5:30-6:30 pm CT
July 7, 14, 21, 28

Life is often hard, and it makes sense that it can harden us. So choosing to be soft, kind, and curious – it requires courage and grit. To be vulnerable is to be brave. But to be clear, it doesn’t mean a dissolution of our boundaries and needs. Generosity is honest only when it comes from within where we are capable of giving.

Join me for practice in June, and let’s be brave so we can stay soft.

Equanimity is often explained as non-judgement, which in its brevity can be misunderstood as never judging anything, ever. However, to not judge would be to deny a part of being human, and to minimize the importance of discernment. Instead, let’s make space for judgements to arise (you me both know they will anyway) – and, to practise holding those judgements lightly. Let’s be okay with changing our minds! Being agile is for both our bodies and our minds.

Join me for practice in May, and let’s be okay with having strong opinions, loosely held.

4-WEEK MAY SESSION
STRONG OPINIONS, LOOSELY HELD: YIN & YANG YOGA
Mondays 5:30-6:30 pm CT
May 5, 12*, 19, 26

A little story from the Zen Buddhist tradition goes something like this:

A monk once asked Basho: “What is the essence of your practice?”
Basho replied: “Whatever is needed.”

The end!

The simplicity of this story belies all the nuance, complexity, missteps, commitment, and discipline that’s part of doing what is needed. Practice can be a time to show us what is really important (do I really need to clench my jaw during downward dog?!) and give us a chance to refine where and how we spend our energy.

Join me for practice in April, and let’s explore what is needed, on a moment-by-moment basis.
