with Sara Feley, MA, LMFT, EMDR level 1, PACT level 1, YTT
Sara Feley invites you to escape from the all-too-often frenetic energy of the holiday season and to instead come to a warm hygge holiday yoga practice that will serve as a cozy refuge from the storm of traditional activities. Participants will use breath, yoga props, meditative inquiry, and yin yoga techniques to address their patterns of tension—both physical and emotional. Yin yoga is a meditative yoga that focuses on long held passive stretches that are available for EVERY BODY. Please come and enjoy meditative yoga that will allow you to move into still and mindful awareness of how to release deep connective tissue.
In addition to the yin yoga poses, the class will enjoy the benefits of journaling, art making, and play—diverting and thoughtful alternatives for coping with the stressors that the winter months can present.
Class will conclude with a sustained, snuggly savasana that participants create for themselves with an extravagance of blankets and bolsters.
Come and relax in the warmth of community and care. Appropriate for all levels.
