Mastering Simplicity Class #02: The Somatics of Choice
$30.00
The Mastering Simplicity sessions reflect how yoga was once taught, with teacher and student meeting each other with openness and inquisitiveness about what might arise. Because Donna wishes to teach from what is most current within her practice, there won’t be a detailed description of each monthly class until after it has been recorded. This is deliberate so that she can create each class as she explores what she is most interested in, in the weeks prior to each class. This is an invitation to explore and discover new experiences from often familiar practices.
The classes are offered monthly and will consist of a 2- hour livestream class. 1.5 hours of guided practice followed by 30 minutes for questions, reflections, and community connection.
This class was recorded in March 2024.
Recordings will be available for 30 days after purchase, unless you choose to subscribe. Subscriptions offer greater benefits, particularly for teachers, which you can learn more about here.
See the description of this class below for more details.
Offer up every joy,
be awake at all moments to the news
that is always arriving
out of silence.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Physical Focus: Standing Postures
What’s Inside: The class begins with both a Sanskrit and Native American chant honoring the directions of flow in the body and in the world. Beginning on the floor, we attune to the space in all directions around the body and use alternate nostril breathing to center in. This is followed by standing warm-ups that emphasize lateral and rotational movements. We progress to the practice of Sun Salutations interspersed with standing postures and complete the practice with a revolved twist on the floor followed by relaxation.
Key Focus: The relationship between moving into lateral, spiralic and multi-dimensional planes and the way this opens up our consciousness to new choices.
