This morning session will be a gentle yoga class that is adaptive and appropriate for all abilities, especially those who have never taken a class or have felt intimidated by “yoga”. Although I use many traditional poses the approach is from an AT perspecitive of allowing and unwinding not in the doing a pose. This means there is a lot of space to be with yourself in a very deep and meaningful way. Sometime my students and I laugh as we recognize our desire to wrestle our bodies into submission. But there is no need to wrestle and when we treat ourselves with kindness it often opens doors we didn’t think were possible.

The class that I developed during covid often began in semi-supine. Why not! It’s a wonderful place to start. Somewhere in all of my years of teaching I developed a sense of humor and a delight in playing so we will play with sublte transitions and weight shifts to encourage freedom and ease in our thinking and our movement. And although we are focused on ourselves we are also being reminded to be a part of the whole bringing compassion to ourselves and then out to others.
