Less doing. More being.

A little reflection on rest from Mary Oliver:

Today I’m flying low and I’m
not saying a word
I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.

The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.

But I’m taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I’m traveling
a terrific distance.

Stillness. One of the doors
into the temple.

by Mary Oliver, “Today”

WORD OF THE MONTH
Rest

Do you ever feel like so much of life is centered around doing?

Accomplishing, achieving, improving, planning, and moving on to whatever comes next.

Yoga values effort and discipline, but it also teaches us to let go. In the Yoga Sutras, abhyāsa, steady practice, is paired with vairāgya, an attitude of non-attachment. We practice with dedication while also learning to loosen our grip on what we think we need to accomplish or what the outcome will be.

Rest gives us space to practice some of that letting go. A chance to take a pause from doing, quiet the mind, and allow the body and mind time to restore.

Through practices like savasana, restorative postures, breath awareness, meditation, and yoga nidra, we create space for stillness and integration.

Making Space for Rest

Our September word of the month is Rest. This month, we’re exploring what it means to rest and how yoga practices like meditation, yoga nidra and pratyahara can help us turn our attention inward and find deeper stillness.

Our September newsletter is here, along with studio updates, upcoming events and this month’s teacher spotlight featuring Nancy.

Read more below.

When we think about rest, we might think about a deep night’s sleep. But rest can also be a break from noise, information, screens, responsibilities, or the constant pull of our attention outward. A shift from thinking and doing to feeling and being.

Finding balance with Rachel. ✨

Our word of the month is Balance, and Rachel shares a mindful way to explore Half Moon Pose, beginning with the support of blocks, finding steadiness, and then perhaps playing with our edges as we let go of that support and reach toward the sky.

Practice with Rachel Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 10:30am. You can also find the full Half Moon tutorial in our Virtual Studio.
