We open class time to check in with one another and to find the best practice possible for us as a group for that day. Gentle movement with safe alignment, and a contemplative presence. Moving and exploring at your own unique pace.

A checking in with one another each evening to find our way through the evening in a relevant and helpful way. Sharing stillness, embodied and attentive presence, openness, poetry and readings with one another during this contemplative practice each Wednesday. Designed each evening to work with who arrives and how we might best encourage, nourish and support ourselves and one another. No special prerequisites. Show up as you are and we’ll support one another and ourselves as we practice meeting ourselves adn one another. About 30 minutes each evening.

The simplicity of the flow of motion, breath, and sensation as the centerpiece of the yoga practice. Generous and dynamic.

Gentle exploration of generous movement, postures, stillness, and relaxation. For everyone.

Visiting with one another before class we will create our class together. We'll consider general form of poses, simple flow, introduction to yoga breathing and the practices of mindfulness. All welcomed.
