Beginning the practice of tuning inward and listening to the body is not easy or comfortable for most of us at first. This quick meditation (which does not take up all 15 minutes, the first 5 minutes I am setting the stage for what we are doing) will guide us through a practice of noticing a more neutral experience in the body. This is a great place to start if you are new to this, and it will give us a baseline to return to throughout our embodiment journey.
Inspired by the research of Amy Cuddy and ‘Power Poses’ this short practice involves holding postures that may stimulate confidence and improve self-esteem
Find your innermost place of peace through this combination of flowing postures, breathwork, and meditation. This class a perfect way to get centered before a family gathering or any other big social event.
