Mastering Simplicity Class #18: The Strength of Yielding – Standing Postures
$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 July 2025.
Recordings will be available for 31 days unless you get access through the three month or 12 month subscription options, where there are more benefits that you can learn about here.
See the description 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 Strength of Yielding
Physical Focus: Standing Postures
What’s Inside: This is a gentle standing posture practice that begins with fluid warm-ups and progresses into more dynamic standing postures.
Key Focus: We explore how the action of yielding with the surface of our body that is in contact with the ground creates an efficient relationship between the ground, gravity and space. Lying between the polarities of propping and collapsing, yielding teaches us to live in the middle path of the nervous system, alert, attentive and able to engage with discernment.
