Stanford health psychologist Kelly McGonigal wrote a beautiful book which was a collection of research and practices called the Neuroscience of Change. One of her main findings from her years in research, was that in order to support change we seek in our lives, we need to practice more kindness and self-compassion.
Come and join us on this full body practice, to support opening of the anterior structures of the chest and pelvis, culminating in a kneeling backbend (ustrasana).
Optional props: yoga mat, blanket or towel, strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair.
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!
For more information about Trina, check out her website! https://www.brainsandbells.com/
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!
