Sitting at a computer all day? Then my next YIN Yoga class is for you. Keeping the range of motion in your shoulders, arms, wrists and hands is critical as we age.
Come and explore movements that release and lengthen the connective tissue in these areas.
Each class begins with a lovely grounding meditation, followed by our core sequence of postures, and ends with a relaxing guided meditation.

So many positive things happening! Spreading love and high vibes to you all on this fine fall evening.

So, if you got used to editing yourself a while ago and editing your consciousness out of the conversation, because you thought it wasn't welcome, I highly recommend you ask yourself, "Is that true right now? And is that true with this person I'm with?" Because things have changed and more people will want you to show up more as who you are than ever before. Because the thing about us showing up as who we are, it doesn't really matter what our beliefs might be, if they're different to someone else. What people respond to is authenticity and honesty. And people - we feel that. No matter how programmed our minds are, we really go on feeling with each other and we go on how the energy feels. And we go on what we sense.

The last 4 months as a certified yoga teacher have been more satisfying and rewarding than I ever could have envisioned. Working with my students through both my private classes and classes through Wild Root Yoga have been amazing. Getting to know them, and giving them the best yoga practice possible with each class has meant so much to me.
Yes, I have a professional day job, and yoga is a side project for me. But, when I look at how much positive energy this practice brings to my entire world, I know that I can never let it go. It is now truly a lifetime commitment.
I have decided to add one more Yin yoga class each week to my schedule. I will post details to the page soon. This will be Zoom only class beginning in March through Oran Mor Wholistic Center.
I encourage anyone interested in bringing peace and balance to their life, to hop on a zoom class with me, or better yet, come to Wild Root in person if you are local to Lincoln and find your Yoga family.
Sending you all high vibes for a fantastic Friday!

Sunday Vibes on 11-1

There is no tomorrow. There is no more yesterday. When we constantly keep our thoughts in the future or on past experiences we miss the beauty of the present moment.
The sights. The sounds. The feel of the air on our skin. The smell. The life all around us serenading us in a perfect symphony of life.
Stop. Breathe. Listen. Can you hear it? Enjoy the now..... 🧘‍♀️☯️🍁🍂

As the seasons change, it's still so important to get outside! Put on that extra layer and get your body moving.
Surya Namaskara B extends the flow of first sun salutation A. Here we continue the Ashtanga Yoga practice with five repetitions, each consisting of 19 movements. The sequence can be used in preparation for other postures heating up and stretching the body, bringing the connection between movement and breath.

Why All Runners Should Consider Adding Yoga to Their Routines

Why All Runners Should Consider Adding Yoga to Their Routines From mobility to mindfulness, here's how a regular practice can help.

Sorry guys! Tonight's 60 Minute sequence for endurance athletes and runners will be posted tomorrow. I had some sound issues and didn't catch it until 20 minutes into our video. :( Ahhhh..... Check back tomorrow and I will make sure it is in our video library on both Facebook and Insta!

From my morning read in Yoga Journal..... I choose to to live the whole of yoga.

As yoga teachers, we have a choice. We can live and teach the whole of yoga as delineated in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, or we can simply focus on the physical practice of asana. If we choose the whole of yoga, the first two steps on the ladder of the eightfold path are the yamas and niyamas. These ethical and spiritual observances help us develop the more profound qualities of our humanity.

Today's wisdom from Bhagavad Gita chapter #2.

The clouds and sounds of the waves enveloped me that day on the rocks in the middle of Lake Superior. It was hard to end my practice. Feeling every sensation of my natural surroundings during each pose brought me to a higher state of awareness and gratitude.
