SOMATIC EXPLORATION

This movement meditation is a practice in merging the mental/emotional with the physical. Throughout this practice you will identify a current stressor, locate it in your body, and move into a posture that represents how you want to feel, how you will move through the stressor.

ROOTED IN PRESENCE

This meditation promotes awareness, fosters presence and facilitates integration of the mind body connection. You will get a chance to sync breath with movement and anchor your mindful awareness in the body in a supportive and sustaining way.

MOVING INTO STILLNESS

There are often barriers to mindfulness and meditation practice that are unnecessary, like sitting still, being a quiet place, being alone and free of distraction. My hope is that we can enter into and access this meditative peaceful state in whatever situation or place we find ourselves, and that begins with giving yourself permission to break the rules of what it means to do so.

BRAIN & BODY

This is a breath and body meditation for regulating the nervous system. WE moved through alternate nostril breathing, a series of chair yoga postures, and breath-body embodiment practice that helps us move in ways that are nourishing and life-giving, grounded and supportive.

30 SECOND PAUSE

This is a brief practice for staying connected to your body in times of distress. Whether you focus on your hands or your feet, this practice of picking a part of the body to truly inhabit and breathe can allow for instant grounding and coming back to self.
