Friday Morning Yoga session:
Full Body Yoga and Herbs/Plant Medicine for Immunity and Resiliency with inspiration from Joanna Macy’s “The Work that Reconnects”.
A 12-week session beginning November 22.
9:00-10:45am, 12 Merrow Road, Storrs, CT
In our Friday morning classes this winter I’d like to open our minds to a deepening understanding of herbs and plants for strengthening immune response and building resiliency in the body…to understand more clearly the actions plant medicines create in the body and the cascading connectedness of those actions in our bodies for strong health.
We’ll also bring forth contemplative pieces of the work of Joanna Macy as a response to the challenges of our time.
Joanna Macy (born May 2, 1929), is an environmental activist, author,
scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory, and deep ecology.
She is the author of eight books.
As a response to the times we are in, we have a strong motivation to hone our skills of self awareness and emotional presence. To call ourselves into a deeper relationship to the land and to each other. Harvest the maturity and depth of being, the empowered responses that come from working compassionately with pain. Some talk of Joanna Macy’s contribution as ‘actionable hope.’ We can break open our accustomed ways of seeing. We can charge the idle moment with beauty and grace amidst the challenges. As life is happening we are changing; this is always true. We are always becoming, whether unconscious or conscious. In Joanna Macy’s work we find insight and inspiration for being helpers along the way here, for ourselves and for the future of our earth and all her creatures.
I hope you can join us!
Our yoga will be full body yoga with attention to detail, alignment, efficient energetic flow, growing strength and flexibility, centering practices and deep wellness.
with joy!
