Dive in to some deep self care, self love and nurture yourself....

Self care doesn't always mean a hot bath or a long nap. Sometimes self care means slowing down, breathing, opening up space, releasing tension, and reconnecting with your breath and body.

At the beginning/end of each inhale and exhale there is a natural, organic pause - a gap - a still point. In this practice we explore that gap, lengthening it, feeling into it and discovering what this feels like for mind and body.
The Heart Chakra is the midway point between the lower chakras and the upper chakras, serving as a gateway or bridge between our wants/desires/needs and our connection to the world and divine.
This chakra is all about love, compassion, joy, peace, and acceptance - for yourself and for the world....
Mindfully connecting to the present moment through breath and movement - this practice works to build strength, flexibility, and overall balance - mind and body. We use the breath as our guide to start our day off connected with an open body, mind and heart. Enjoy!

Often known as the Metta meditation, this guided visualization meditation aims to promote a sense of wellbeing, peace and peaceful feelings towards the world around you. A favorite of mine and a great favorite of local yoga students!
We sit a lot in our lives and that can mean our hip flexors, that area at the front of our hip between pelvis and upper thigh, can get super tight and sticky. Today, our 30 minute Yin Yoga practice, we are focusing on opening this space up, releasing tension, and helping our backs feel better (t...
