Move with Madoka

My zoom yoga class is back starting this week😊 Join me on Wednesdays from 7-8:15pm PT. We will focus on spinal mobility, joint stabilization, proprioception, and/or various somatic stretches in order to address chronic pain, prevent injuries and calm our central nervous system. My intention is to facilitate a practice that offers tools for you to inhabit your body, breath and mind with more balance and ease. Many of us are finding ourselves holding tension and experiencing pain/discomfort in new/surprising areas of our bodies due to the adjustments we've made in response to this pandemic. Each week we'll explore a combination of Daoist Yoga, Yin Yoga, Hatha yoga and various postures / movements that promote stability and strength in our connective tissues. Class is $15 to participate, and you can sign up and reserve your spot at https://calendly.com/circleyogini/mobility 💜 If you are facing financial difficulties and cannot afford that rate, please send me an email at [email protected] and I will be more than happy to meet you where you are. Can't make it due to conflict in your schedule or time difference issues? I can send you a recording for the same rate so that you can participate at your own time ✨🧘🏽‍♀️✨Everybody deserves this practice.

More details are up on the website!

I started reading more poetry in my yoga classes. This article captures the reason why. Maybe, through poetry, we can slow down and find attentiveness and breath again.

‘Attention Is the Beginning of Devotion’ The late poet Mary Oliver warned against looking without noticing. In an age of distraction, her work is more urgent than ever.

Enjoy :)

My teen students and I have countless discussions about the danger of constantly comparing ourselves to others on social media. One of the greatest gifts of yoga is that you learn to appreciate what you already have and embody your unique, authentic beauty ✨
