The body has an innate wisdom on it’s own to heal itself, and how we create space to allow for that all natural process is up to us. But in our culture we tend to not have the tools for easy, consistent self care.

Homeostasis refers to any process that living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival. This is what we are striving for… the way we move, how we nourish our bodies and create self care that allows the body to “run on idle”.

In this workshop we will use Integrated Positional Therapy, yoga and exploring the brain~feet connection for increasing circulation tapping into a whole physical and subtle body balancing creating a life with more ease.

One of the deepest forms of suffering in society is the pain of believing that “something is wrong with me.” Feeling that we are continually falling short. Whether in the shape of chronic self-judgment, blaming others, depression, anxiety, or shame, feelings of deficiency prevent us from living and loving fully.

Radical acceptance arises as we cultivate mindfulness and self-compassion through meditation. In this class we will includes talks, guided and silent meditations and gentle movement to learn to bring an unconditionally kind presence to our lives, which in turn allows us to handle life more clearly and patiently. We then explore how to cultivate the forgiveness and compassion that allows us to embrace others with an open and wise heart.
