Yes, there’s yoga tomorrow! Come burn things down or light them up🔥5pm, Monday @gatherencinitas
I keep coming back to these words I jotted down the other day. I started doing somatic therapy. It is hands down the bravest thing I do each week. I feel like I am learning to love for the first time ever. To stop othering myself, which means I can stop othering everyone else so much too. Boundaries feel strong and kind. Loving feels spacious and tender. Opening feels invited and respectful. What a difference from being broken open.
“Yoga includes all our therapies: mindfulness, compassion-based therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic therapy.” -Dr. Shailla Vaidya . Get your daily dose today, 5pm @gatherencinitas ____________ #gatherencinitas #bewellencinitas
today I found those giggles (the ones I hid between each of my ribs and behind my heart until it was safe to be a child on chantry drive with those bars on the windows that kept violence out and kept violence in) . they flooded out of my wrinkled body as fresh as the day I hid them three or four decades ago at the most inappropriate time (in a quiet room with bells chiming and a sacred silence descending) . they rushed out one after the other, prisoners finally set free my brain trying to reign them in and my body laughing at their raucous escape . another part of me I never thought I would find free at last
I have been so moved by the interest this workshop has been getting this year. Our last group maxed out at 36 people. Still it felt so intimate, so sacred, so respectful. Clearly there is something about grief in the body, especially when we’ve felt it in our own body, that feels important to investigate and step into conversation around. . So here we go, for the last time this year. Grief In The Body, Nov 9, in San Diego, @woven_weare . A science-based, trauma-informed exploration and explanation of grief in the body. Save your spot. www.wovenweare.com/events ___________________ #griefisapractice #sandiegoyoga #carlsbadyoga #griefinthebody
We all need a little pick-me-up now and then. Two chances to yoga with me this week... bring your shell or your anger or your sweet hallelujahs, we humans can hold it all. Sunday, 4:15 @gatherencinitas Monday, 5pm @gatherencinitas
