Saturday Mindful Movement 8:30 – 9:45 AM
Wednesday Mindful Movement 8:30 – 9:45 AM
Mindful Movement classes are held both live and on Zoom
Shapes & Sounds – June 6th – 5:45 – 6:45 PM
Shapes & Sounds is a class where you choose the shapes that you want to be in as you are surrounded by a live “Sound Bath” of Gongs, Crystal Bowls, Singing bowls and more. You may choose to rest in a restorative pose, use some of the Tune Up Balls to release tension, stand, sit, roll around on the floor…whatever movement the sound invites you to do.
What Are Mindful Movement Classes?
I am no longer calling the classes I lead “Yoga Classes” (although they may seem similar)
I weave in a variety of knowledge that I have gained from studying different mind/body/spirit therapies.
Yoga is a sacred tradition. I do not want to disrespect the tradition by labeling a class Yoga if I am not teaching a well rounded Yoga class based on all aspects of the practice.
Therefore the shift from calling our classes “Yoga” to Mindful Movement.
When you come to a Mindful Movement class, my intention is to create an environment where you can drop into your own internal experience.
Our time together will be an opportunity to slow down and shift your attention away from the external world and reconnect with a quieter inner world. It might take a bit to find that quiet inner world…it takes practice.
The classes are an opportunity…
to get to know the unique needs of your own body, mind and nervous system…
to let go of thinking how you should look… to increase self compassion…
to increase self care…
to learn skills to release patterns in body, mind and spirit…
to practice meditative movement…
to feel connection and self compassion to yourself, others and this planet.
The classes are based on my own practices which are influenced by my studies of several different schools of Yoga, Clinical Somatics, Trauma Release Exercises, Mindful Strength, Subtle Yoga, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, intuitive movement, dance and the the works of Joseph Pilates, Moshe Feldenkrais, Thomas Hanna, Tom Meyers, and more. In full disclosure, I have not completed the full trainings in several of these modalities.
Classes are as unique as we are and have a foundation of gentle curiosity, creativity and compassion.
If I have learned or am learning something that supports my healing journey, I’m weaving it into what I offer you.
Sessions are donation based. The suggested donation is $10 – $15.
No one will be turned away due to lack of their ability to pay.
If you are someone who is coming to several sessions a week, please, adjust your donations so that sessions are not a financial concern.
Pay more or less as you able.
Some people pay for several classes ahead of time and keep track of their attendance.
Some people “pay it forward” for others who are not able to pay.
I have faith that everyone will honor how I am offering these classes.
