Rest & Recharge : October

In contrast to Move & Create, the Rest & Recharge session is a rejuvenating hour long pause from the ongoing bustle of life. Not to simply escape the chaos, but rather to help improve our ability to cope with its demands.

This session will consist of some of my favorite restorative rituals, each intended to induce deep relaxation, reset the nervous system, promote mental clarity, and deepen the mind-body connection. Exact practices will vary month to month, but will generally include restorative yoga asana (gentle & therapeutic supported postures), pranayama (moving vital energy via the breath), various styles of meditation, intuitive writing, yoga nidra, & more.

To prepare, simply arrive as comfortable as possible. Some might even choose to get ready for bed, doing the practice just before sleep. Lowering the lights, dressing in loose fitting clothing, layering up with blankets, playing gentle music, or eliminating all sensory distractions completely, are all great ways to ensure a peaceful practice. It can also be beneficial to inform any others you live with that you wish to be undisturbed for this period of time.

This session will be held on specific Mondays (the day of the Moon, to support soothing the soul) when the Moon is waning (to help focus our attention inwards), and will run for approximately one hour & fifteen minutes.
