Happy Fall Equinox!

Can you feel the transition back into the real world as the warmth of summer starts to fade and the crisp autumn air settles in? Transitions are exciting though they can often feel overwhelming. New schedules, more places to be and perhaps more people to be around can shift our nervous system into overdrive.

Making time for yourself to clear out mental clutter and to be with and observe your body can bring some clarity into your life. Remember the feeling you are left with after a good savasana? Yoga is like a reset your nervous system, taking you further away from a state of being overwhelmed and closer to a state of inner harmony.

Fluidity in our Yoga Practice

What does it mean to practice yoga with fluidity? This thought might conjure images of someone moving swiftly and gracefully through a vinyasa flow. I don't know about you but there are days when I feel like the tin man and I'm sure the last thing anyone would call me is graceful.

As we grow older we experience more and every experience (mental or physical) leaves something behind, in yoga this is referred to as samskara. Sometimes an experience may leave us with an injury, sometimes it may be joy, wisdom or enlightenment, often times it may be all of these and more!

Remember that our bodies are comprised of 60% water, so we are veritably fluid. Sometimes it takes bringing awareness to our old injuries and the guarded movement habits they've left us with to navigate and find that fluidity again.

Will we still feel like the tin man some days? Yes, but hey now at least we know where to find the oil can. 😉

I'm am so very excited to be teaching in-person classes again! Starting on 4/13 I'll be teaching at Burning Wheel Yoga School in Medfield. This will be a weekly slow flow class called Focused Flow on Tuesdays from 9:30am-10:45am.

This class will be slow so that we can observe our bodies. We will work progressively to build/add strength and a mix of breath work, balance practice and restoration will round out each class. 75 mins to focus on yourself!

The owners of the studio have put so much thought and care into the safety of their students during this pandemic. Here's a link from their website to learn about the UV-C disinfection stations they have installed in their practice & treatment rooms, on top of the mandated requirements. https://www.burningwheelyoga.com/precautions

They also have an amazing lighting system which takes you through a natural daily spectrum of light during class. This takes dimming the lights for savasana to a whole new level!

If you're not quite ready for an in person class, my classes will be live streamed from their site as well.

I look forward to sharing space, breath and practice will you all!

Love, Ali
