Mastering Simplicity Class #10: Safety, Support & Sufficiency
$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. 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 November 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: Pranayama and Seated Forward Bends and Twists
What’s Inside: This class begins with an introduction to the work of
Neuropsychologist Rick Hansen, with a brief somatic sitting practice followed by alternate nostril breathing to settle the nervous system. The asana portion of this class focuses on releasing neck, upper back and shoulder tension through seated forward bends and twists. The class concludes with a guided relaxation, returning full circle to a meditation that fosters the experience of safety, support and sufficiency.
Key Focus: This class centers around the neuroscience of hardwiring experiences into our nervous system in a conscious way. We focus on the belly as the seat of our experience of safety. We focus on the heart as the seat of our experience of support and connectedness to others. And we focus on the head as the seat of our experience of sufficiency.
