COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Join us to optimize the health benefits and gain direct experience of the deeper serenity, clarity, and energy easy yoga practice provides. These sequences are designed to address the specific needs of the season: In December, we'll focus on hip mobility, finding resilient balance, and energetic & abdominal practices to enhance digestion. This better metabolizes not just physical food, but also media input, social interactions, familial obligations, as well as deep emotions, memories, sensations, and desires that come up during the holidays. These methods allows you to shift attention & FUEL the life you are here to lead. It's a time to cultivate aligned connection and to allow your innermost gifts to shine. 

December can be a time when schedules AND hearts and minds are busy and FULL. This month's practice will thus focus on MAKING SPACE: You'll learn practices to help your entire being digest and METABOLIZE experiences more efficiently & easily, so you release congestion and stagnation, get things moving, AND feel lighter and access energy reserves so you can enjoy this season in a heartfelt way. When you are able to process what comes in or what latent surprises are triggered, you can be selective in what and how you nourish, and where and how you best connect to all that brings you your unique version of joy.

Yoga is best known as a physical practice to create spaciousness, ease, and stability in the body. You will DEFINITELY be provided the opportunity to experience these benefits firsthand in Easy Yoga.

Yet at its core, yoga is a spiritual practice: It soothes, nourishes, and redirects the mind to harness your energies for happier connection to your thoughts, emotions, sensations, as well the world around you.


In these sessions of Easy Yoga, we first start with a few moments one-on-one with your teacher to breathe, center, and connect. You contemplate what in your life you are ready to leave behind, and what you want to cultivate. Known as a “Gating Ceremony,” this personal moment helps release mental & energetic burdens, as you become more focused and better resourced to foster your best self.


Then we come together as a group & shift our energy inward, as Virginia guides a visualization to open our sacred circle. This helps you attune to how you are feeling and connect to innate wisdom. This simple creation of sacred space makes the entire practice more potent and benefits more lasting. (Plus, you can use this technique throughout your life in everyday settings too!)




Now richly supported, this gentle time together then features simple yet profound movements that will enhance your well-being. Physically, it is very accessible. We will center with breathing, then warm up with chair yoga.




Then we'll do gentle standing stretches and strengtheners and classic yoga postures, alongside SIMPLE brain stimulation exercises that are REALLY fun. These increase balance, coordination, and stimulate new neural pathways. You’ll jumpstart your system to release feelings of stagnation, and help yourself become easier on yourself and maybe even more playful!



All these sessions are slow-paced, with pauses and gentle movements to make this EASY yoga. It is a VERY accessible course physically, for many levels of capacity because it requires less up-and-down from the floor and often uses chairs. Yet you still receive a full-body reset. These sequences also ensure you gain access to the more expansive potentials of yoga that exceed the physical body: Your mind and connection to those around you are sweetened and made more harmonious.




Each session not only decreases stiffness and increases fluid motion of the muscular-skeletal system, but also includes specific conscious breathing and systematic relaxation techniques that help regulate the nervous system. These practices ignite healing capacities and encourage an overall sense of relief and peace. As the body becomes calmer and comfortable, a natural sense of peacefulness arises. Mental concentration improves and there is a lightness to being in one's body that in turn, makes everyday movements easier. (This can be done seated in a chair or lying down.)




EASY YOGA sessions conclude by introducing you to the inward experience of meditation, which allows you to tap into inner reserves of vast inspiration and well-being. It is suggested you meditate in a chair for EASE - you don't have to be on the floor. This is where we often go deeper than the thinking mind expects – even in a short time with simple techniques - to achieve feelings of spaciousness and tender empowerment.




At the end of our 90 minutes together, we will close our sacred circle, in order for you to learn how to take these improved states with you throughout your days. Your teacher, Virginia, will be available after sessions to answer questions, or simply to provide inspiration, encouragement, conversation, and – of course! – immense gratitude.



Gentle reminder to BRING A YOGA MAT: Yoga mats are REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE SESSIONS. Chairs and other props will be provided.  

Looking forward to seeing you.  I am so blessed and delighted to be able to bring yoga meditation to our little neck of the beautiful woods; it could not happen without you, so thank you from my innermost heart.
