Welcome to the Wheel of the Year - the 8 fold solar cycle traditionally celebrated through introspection, gratitude, coming together, remembering, and deepening our connection to the natural cycles of our earth.
This is Samhain (pronounced SOW-when), the time of year that we feel our ancestors, the ones who have gone before us, and we thank them for their gifts, their love, their skills/talents/sacrifices, and we connect more deeply to them. At the same time, we ask how we can become good ancestors by healing the wounds of past generations and offering a brighter future to those who come after us.
Join me for a full body Yin Yoga practice focusing on the root chakra and the heart chakra and related meridians to breathe, feel, sense, and be in the present moment with those who have gone before us.
Props: 1-2 blankets (Blanket: https://amzn.to/40vhOXS) or towels, 1 bolster (Bolster: https://amzn.to/477vuuC) or pillows, and anything else you want to support you in your practice (perhaps something tangible from an ancestor?).
