Mind Body Yoga

Perfect weather outside for dropping in to Adaptive Yoga training within my Clinical Yoga Therapy program. I love adding to my knowledge bank and deepening my personal practice. For the next 5 days I'll be broadening my understanding of the practice of yoga asana and how to adapt therapeutically for all students. 🙏

Finished up day 1 of Trauma informed yoga training within my Yoga therapy program. We enjoyed a post lunch yoga nidra and discussion. As I got back into my seat and off my blanket my cat burrowed into the blanket and is now marinating in the delicious nidra vibes I left behind. Touché kitty, I'll take my afternoon nap somewhere else.

Day 1 of my 1st training of the year is a wrap! I'm so grateful for this chapter of my life that is all about healing and growing as a human. Learning online was something I had great hesitation for in the past, but this program is so engaging, thorough and enjoyable it hardly feels like work!! More to come... 💗

Wonderful article on the Vagus nerve and how to initiate your parasympathetic response. The more we get on our mats to play, the easier it will be to come back to this state of being. This is why we yoga!

Remember you can return to your breath as often as necessary, just be here now.

Sitting here marinating on takeaways from today's session of "Yoga for recovery"... Topic, addiction...this felt like a good place to start the conversation. Please have a quick look at this video and if you feel so inclined to comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

I just did a very loving thing for myself. I leaned in when my friend said she had a couple of bodymind coaching/mentoring spots available. This is something that I believe will be so helpful in my continued healing journey as I take on new challenges and chase my goals. Old "survival" habits die hard and I have big things to do!!

The first session of my Clinical Yoga Therapy program starts Thursday and the topic is... "Yoga for recovery" I'll be sharing bits here and there over the 5 days of training and planning ways to share this knowledge with the community.
