Mastering Simplicity Class #16: The Non-Moving Support for Movement – Balance postures, Standing Postures and Core Stabilization
$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 broadcast. This is deliberate so that we can enter each class without preconceived expectations and receive fresh awareness. 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 May 2025.
Recordings will be available for 31 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
Theme: The Non-Moving Support for Movement
Physical Focus: Balance postures, Standing Postures and Core Stabilization
What’s Inside: We explore how focusing on flexibility takes us away from the present moment towards striving and acquisition. Instead, we redirect the mind towards the stabilizing, non-moving support for movement. This is a well-rounded class integrating standing balances, standing postures, and floor core stabilization and hip mobilization postures.
Key Focus: The key focus of this class is embodying the definition of yoga asana “Sthira sukham asanam”. Translated to mean: “Through steadfastly abiding in the part of the self that is unchanging one finds ease within the postures of the moment.” This shift of identification with how far we move in yoga postures to how well we maintain our steadiness, brings us into the present moment. A calm and peaceful mind are the result.
