This series follows the book Heart Minded (how to hold yourself and others in love) by Sarah Blondin

We will move gently to open the heart and settle into a restorative heart opening position that allows us to drop into guided meditation connecting the mind to the heart leading us into time in guided journaling creating a conversation with our hearts. 

We spend so much time in our heads moving from one task to the next. We get lost in the busy and forget about that still quiet place within. The voice that reminds us who we are.  This is the perfect way to pause, listen, and remember.

Myofascial Release

A series exploring Myofascial Release using a ball.

A deeper dive into the fascia and how it influences our posture and movement. Dehydrated or tight areas of fascia can be a sign of stuck emotion or trauma. It can be a sign of poor habits while walking or sitting daily, or a result of injury or compensation. Stress creates further tension leading to bound up and congested tissues.

Explore where your body is holding tension and learn easy techniques to release that tension.

We will focus on the feet, hip flexors, glutes and low back, and shoulders. And dive into the emotional pain chart developed by Louise Hay. 

 
Using light pressure with the ball in yoga postures, you'll discover areas that are stiff and stuck and invite release, creating space in the body, while relieving pain and discomfort.
 
Learning how to safely release this tension in your body on your own can give your body the relief and freedom it needs to feel well.
