Open Heart

When we see that in our life, we have received far more than what we deserve or are capable of, then gratitude draws in us. We become thankful, complaints disappear and abundance grows. Gratitude is a habit and a gesture of the heart, so to compliment this theme, classes will be building toward “heart opening” poses. We will be building strength in our backs in order to support the process of opening our hearts and breathing into that space that is often protected.

Yoga can help us to nourish ourselves during times of transition. Whether it be the seasons changing, moving jobs, losing a loved one, going back to school, or just getting out of bed in the morning. We take ourselves wherever we go. We take our conditioned thoughts, our potentially easily activated nervous systems, our pain, our memories and joy. It is all inside of us at any point and yoga invites us to ask ourselves how we are holding it. How are we holding ourselves during difficult times or periods where it feels unsteady?
