WEEK 2 -Intentions and Orientation-Yoga as Healing
Welcome to the "Healing the Body to Heal the Mind" program! I'm thrilled you've chosen to be part of this journey. I recognize that taking this step is significant, and I commend your bravery in prioritizing your health.
In this environment, we'll delve into yoga practices centered on safety, choice, and empowerment. This entails:
Choice: You’ll have the freedom to make decisions about your body and movements during our sessions. There will be no pressure to do anything that feels uncomfortable.
Safety: Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can comfortably explore movement and sensation.
Empowerment: The practices are crafted to help you connect with your internal resources and develop a sense of self-agency.
Here’s what you can anticipate:
No prior experience necessary: Whether you're new to yoga or have years of experience, these sessions are designed to be inclusive for all.
Focus on sensation, not shape: We’ll emphasize how your body feels rather than the appearance of a pose.
Invitation, not instruction: You’ll be encouraged to explore movements rather than being directed on what you must do.
Modifications are always welcome: Feel free to adjust any movement or take a break whenever needed.
Confidentiality: This is a safe space, and what is shared here remains confidential.
