Monia Fernandez - She/Her
An affinity group is a safe space for people linked by a common identity.
These classes will explore movement that supports the management of pain with many options to take the entire class laying down. We will close with some community hangs to share experiences and tools we use to help navigate our pain.
Learn about Organic Farm to Table Craft Cannabis by Healing Hemp and how CBD can be another tool in the chronic pain care kit. Living in chronic pain is a daily challenge of managing our symptoms and hoping that it's a 2/10 pain level day. Finding tools to support health and ease into our bodies can be challenging. In my experience the most common tool offered for chronically-pained bodies is yoga. Most yoga classes don't usually support the nuanced adjustments we need to make in our body to feel a part of that class. Because most chronically-pained bodies look able-bodied, we are often expected to move with all that the teacher is offering. Sometimes we just need savasana (the final resting pose) and community.
About Healing Hemp:
Healing Hemp is a small farm to table craft cannabis collective. Starting in 2012 as a first in Mass as a medical caregiver and cultivar we have a strong grass roots approach to cannabis in Somerville. With our regenerative farming practices we source all our crop from river feed and farm livestock to compost with bokashi. Providing a quality and nurtured plant that stimulates healing within the body.

What to bring & wear:
Please feel free to bring whatever you'd like to feel more comfortable in class. Journals, crystals, smell goods, snacks - whatever you'd like! If you get there early enough, set up next to an outlet with your heating pad! Wear comfy clothes <3
What to expect:
Students should expect to learn about the supporting properties of CBD, learn about how the different forms of yoga (asana, pranyama & meditation) can support chronic pain. Students should also expect to move a bit and chat during our time together!
Healing Hemp will provide a complementary CBD pre-roll for each guest. Please be aware that we will not be providing THC products on-site at MOTA. Healing Hemp is located down the street from the studio and after the session, Alex has opened an invitation to walk over and shop/experience the products he sells!
