Next week is Thanksgiving here in the states, and during this year we may find ourselves with the challenge of not being able to uphold our traditions. This may give us a sense of spaciousness and freedom. It may also bring forth a sense of being untethered, lonely or in a state of grief. Whatever this season is bringing for you, there is a place that you can return to find a sense of home- your body.

Suggested Props:
strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair. yoga mat, blanket or towel
