Wind Down with Words - Monthly offering
This is a special monthly offering where we come together to unwind, destress and be with the community. This class was born out of blending my own practices that have helped to balance my dynamic Ashtanga practice. Yin is a wonderful counterpart as well as Vipassana meditation with reflection, writing & poetry. In this class we will begin with a yin sequence to slow down, relax and turn inward. After a short sequence we will move into meditation and culminate with a journaling/writing session. At the end of our time together the group is provided space to enjoy tea and share their experience or poetry/stories (but not required). Closing our time with the community.
