15 minute shake & flow: A short movement snack with just enough time to shake things up in order to settle down into presence. Starts with a shake out, some fluid spine work, and a mini flow to bring awareness and strength into our legs and hips before settling down in child’s pose and a brief sit to close.
Holding the Paradox: A brief meditation exploring the underlying ground of our awareness as it holds all of the fluctuations of our experience. We use a specific hand gesture as a tangible doorway into this concept and nourish ourselves in presence for a few moments before moving into the rest of our day.
Self Practice Enquiry - Xyphoid and Tailbone: A short class introducing a movement enquiry for you to then explore in your own practice and/or teaching. We explore the relationship between two small bones, the xyphoid and the tailbone. I find this exploration so rich, and it can really support us to cultivate a wonderful middle ground between space and containment through the torso as we move and breathe. Enjoy!
Honouring our tiredness: Sometimes all we really need to do is honour the fact that we are really tired. In this class we spend 15 minutes simply resting in 4 restorative postures, and work with breath and visualisations to honour and release fatigue. Props: Bolster or two sleeping pillows, a blanket or two and possibly a block will come in handy if you have one available.
Collective Heart: A beautiful meditation that I use to cultivate a felt relationship with my physiological heart as well as the heart of awareness itself. Open to a felt sense of appreciation, call in what you need and offer up what you can. A beautiful practice to connect and rest your mind into your heart, exploring the relationship between the personal and the universal.
Fill your cup: A meditation to truly replenish and receive. Bathe in source itself and allow all of the normally outpouring energy turn in and fill your cup to the brim. Close by purposefully bridging the awareness you have cultivated in your practice into your day. Includes a short chat on meditation at the end. My go to meditation for rest and nourishment.
