Yoga for Core Integration - Enhancing Structural Balance for Pain-Free Living Subtotal: $397.00
Mastering Simplicity Class #09: Small Movements Can Have Big Effects
$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 October 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: Subtle Floor Practices (Powered by Pandiculation)
What’s Inside: The class begins with a brief introduction about the danger of ascribing to the idiom “no pain, no gain.” In a series of gentle but surprisingly powerful movements, you’ll transition from supine practices that release the back to side-lying practices that balance the deep quadratus lumborum muscles. The sequence is completed with a series of Locust Pose variations tailored to optimize the strengthening effects of the practice (while minimizing potential compression in the lower back. Active Cat Pose and Downward Facing Dog complete the class.
Key Focus: Small movements practiced slowly and with awareness can evoke big changes; creating release, balance and strength. The integration of pandiculation and isometric movements serves to reset the base tone and resting length of bodily musculature.
