All year long you plant seeds of possibility in the fertile landscape of your field of consciousness. You tend this garden by shining the light of love upon your aspirations, hopes and dreams. You water the ground with your tears. You practice weeding out unproductive, unhealthy and unsupportive mental chatter. And you cultivate the patience necessary to allow things to sprout and bloom in their own time. The Autumnal Equinox is an ideal opportunity to harvest the bounty of your conscious and unconscious gardening: reflect, rejoice and reap the fruits of your efforts. The Full Harvest Moon adds extra energy and gravitas to the week’s observances.

Click in each morning to connect with yourself using the time-honored practice of yoga. We will utilize breathwork and kriyas (cleansing techniques) to move stuck or stagnant energy and to build inner-energetic reserves. We will incorporate yin, vinyasa and restorative yoga methods to strengthen muscles, lubricate joints, cultivate resiliency in the body, quiet the mind and open the heart. Deep relaxation, visualization/meditation, mantra and poetry round out the experience. I will also share some simple rituals you might consider implementing into your daily routine to nurture yourself all year. You will receive the sequences/readings/prompts from each day’s offerings as well as playlists you can access on Spotify.

The life you are already living is nothing short of majestic, miraculous and entirely worthy of exultation. Utilize this week to slow down, take stock, and fortify a daily practice of appreciation to help you live from a place of reverent celebration.

Open to yoga teachers from all traditions and yoga practitioners of all ages/stages and experience levels. It will be helpful to have 2 yoga blocks, 2 yoga blankets and/or a yoga bolster or meditation cushion, certainly a yoga mat, and any other accoutrements you like (extra layers, an eye pillow, etc).
