Buddhist teacher Joan Halifax works with her students on the practice of sitting and also moving through the world with a strong back and soft front- moving from a stable foundation with vulnerability and openness.
Come join us for this full body practice focusing on working safely with the spine, specifically spinal extension, and softening the belly.
These positions help us to work with upright posture, and give us stability in our spine. As always, please practice gently, with right effort for your body.
Suggested Props: strap (dog leash/ karate belt), bolster if you have one, blocks or stable chair. yoga mat, blanket or towel
Trina Mann is a physical therapist who specializes working with people who have Parkinson's in Northern California! She is also a 200hour R-yoga teacher! She teaches a weekly yoga class in her community, and we are fortunate enough to be able to join the class live through zoom or utilize these recordings!
This wonderful yoga class is more of a gentle, restorative yoga class with a focus on kindness to our body, breath and body awareness. I highly recommend you try it!

Remember - modify as needed. Don't do anything that doesn't feel safe. Use support as needed during standing exercises and use a chair for getting down on the ground and back up if you need it!
