the experience
1 - Polish. (Yin yoga - 75 mins)
Arrive to a relaxing sequence of poses designed to clear physical tension, promote creativity, and calm. Experience deep tissue stretches, breathing, and reflection exercises to stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, benefit your joints, stoke inspiration and self soothe while you take care of yourself in a virtual community setting.
2 - Record. (Reflective writing by Reenita - 45 mins)
Receive guidance and momentum to grieve (or not) and reflect on the moments this year has offered. Using what transpires, we will shift to making a wish list, reflecting on our strengths, and building a space for self love - the outcome is directed by you. Our time together we will create a piece which you can come back to when the time is right. We will build community by co-creating a space where we are all accountable. You only need a writing tool of your choice.
3 - Protect. (Yoga Nidra - 25 mins)
Finally, settle into your couch, bed or most comfortable place to explore the depths of Yoga Nidra in comfort and ease. In this philosophically informed practice, you will explore your 5 subtle bodies or Koshas, and seal an intention for your year to come from what you’ve created. This adaptogenic practice will leave you feeling balanced and rejuvenated.
