As we head into another divisive election season we’ll focus on two of the factors that will not only help us survive, but to thrive—Grounding and Joy. In this series we’ll spend time grounding, grounding and more grounding. We’ll find connection from our bellies into the earth and from the earth back to us and through us. We’ll open portals in our feet and connections through our legs both physically and energetically. When you are physically grounded your whole system knows what to do and when to do it; the mind can be settled. You’ll know when to engage and when to ignore. Perhaps your heart will feel supported to be open and loving, or perhaps you’ll find a new level of authentic fierceness—or both! And the joy we will be touching into is not the joy of getting what we want, but joy for no reason, the joy that is inherent within us that is often overlooked. Because this joy does not depend on anything, we can touch it anytime and anywhere.

During this 8-week series we’ll do a variety of practices, some moving, some sitting, and some lying down. Be prepared to shake things up and find your way to the center of the earth and the center of your heart, in community.

Class is in person and livestream. Please come live if at all possible—the felt community support is stronger that way.

8 weeks starts September 9 and goes through October 28, 5:00 to 5:30p ET with 10 mins of optional discussion afterward.

We all long for moments of true rest and rejuvenation. Taking restorative time for yourself is a revolutionary act of self-compassion that leads to a sense of renewed vitality, mental clarity, and inner peace. iRest Yoga Nidra is a simple form of guided meditation that can help relieve stress, restore sound sleep, experience well-being and awaken you to your essential nature. 

In this 4-part weekly series you will learn the basic principles of iRest Yoga Nidra, a form of meditation based on the ancient teachings of Yoga Nidra -  sometimes called  “yogic sleep”  - that has been designed for today’s modern living. The practice can help you tap into a place that is calm - even when life isn’t. Some people use iRest Yoga Nidra as a way to nourish themselves, to rest and restore from the busyness of everyday life. Others use it to deepen their connection to the most essential aspects of themselves. 

Whether you’re an experienced meditator or a beginner, this is a practice to support you to connect with an experience of inner calm and contentment during any moment of your life, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing.
