Dear friends,
If you practiced with me live last week, you may recall that my class had the theme of strength & beauty in our movement. It was an energizing class, and we explored strengthening moves as well as beautiful breath-led flows. I had fun creating it and practicing with you!
This week, we're going to look at strength & beauty again, but this time we will explore their effect on our stillness. Yes, we will move, but we'll be pausing between sequences to notice.
Why stillness? Well, there's a lot of unfettered movement out there right now. There's wind and rain as we begin this transition to fall. There's lots of media noise about the upcoming election. And there are plenty of Halloween skeletons hanging around too!
In general, there's a lot happening and sometimes it feels like things are spinning out of control.
But let's not be overwhelmed. We can pause and move into stillness to process the information that we receive. We might even find some silence in that stillness. And then, refreshed, we can approach the challenges of the day again.
We know that yoga isn't a quick fix, but it offers tools to help us cope. That's why I keep practicing.
Love in stillness,
Nina G
