Balancing Act: A Workshop w/ SarahEmily!

In this Balancing Act workshop we'll combine arm balances and standing poses with binds, allowing attendees to deepen their practices in a nuanced way. We will prepare the body for a family of balances and standing poses, systematically opening the areas that need more space in order to approach each balance or standing pose in a mindful way. While this workshop will include some dynamic sequencing, moving from pose to pose, we will spend a great deal of time in held poses, encouraging the body to release tightness and tension that often hold us back from deeper yoga postures.

Endometriosis & Chronic Pain Affinity yoga

This is a space for endometriosis and chronically pained people to come together in community. This space is here to share stories, offer support for one another and come together to hold space for one another. During this time we will have a prompt to speak around and mini break out groups to dive deeper into conversations.

As a disclaimer, this is not a formal support group. We want to offer space to come together but to be mindful of the individual capacities we all have to care for one another. We will start the session with community guidelines and introductions then move into our storytelling & community time.

If you find you need further support around mental health or are experiencing severe life threatening pain, please be sure to connect with a mental health professional to make sure you are getting the support you need.
