Listen In: Let Your Yoga Practice Speak To You Janna Hockenjos

Can we practice in such a way a that each moment invites an opportunity to practice kindness, to ourself and to others. Perhaps begin with learning how to embrace what we don’t quite like. Is that even possible?

We can wait for changes. We can wait for the push, the external motivation, or actually be forced to change. Or if you know now what you’d like to be different, then it’s time to move through some discomfort or fear or doubt to make the change you want to see happen now. Your energy is everything.

New moon energy is often about creating something, honoring the blank slate. But this time, we’re gonna work to release some of that heaviness or darkness. Time to ask: What in your past can you make peace with? What dream don’t you have to drag forward? In the second have of 2020, it’s time to acknowledge how we can feel lighter.

In this class, it’s the opportunity to become aware of the powerful and constant energy of your solar plexus. When we can’t find the ground, when we can’t feel safe enough to open, we can still come back to the calm and safe space inside ourselves. The card: the wolf and the energy of activism and inclusivity

We move a lot. Movement is automatic, habitual, nearly involuntarily—even the vinyasa on our yoga mat can be a blind routine. In this class, we take a pause. What are you moving toward? Why are you moving? Then, you can reap the benefits of this solar energy.

We often think of Pigeon Pose as a watery, opening pose of flexibility. In this class, we’ll explore it differently. In order to move forward from a past that might have us feeling stuck, hurt, or fearful of a future, we must transform. We must go beyond the form that is our past. Perhaps that’s where Fire Log Pose comes from, that which we are burning through.
