When I first encountered yoga, I wasn’t a fan. I thought it was “weird.” It was 1995, and I was a student in the dance department at The University of Texas at Austin. We did yoga on Wednesdays. My dance professor sensed my skepticism and challenged me in pedagogy class to observe and learn to teach Yoga for Seniors. It was the start of a whole new journey for me. I was amazed at how alive and vibrant these women were. They were tuned in to life at a deeper level than I had seen before. From then on, yoga was part of my regular training routine, and it stayed with me as I moved to New York City to dance professionally. It’s there that I also fell in love and got married. When I was 27, my father became critically ill.The three weeks he spent in the hospital tested every ounce of my faith and joy. I learned when to fight, and when to let go. I learned to stop praying for what I wanted and began leaning into whatever was. I found within me a strength I didn’t know I had, even as my beloved mentor and spiritual guide was dying.

I love starting with the all-body simple movement, the deep-breathing practice, the gentle voice of Jessica giving instructions and wise words. And all that in about 30 minutes! Love it!"

It was so delightful to see so many beautiful faces in the Zoom Room this morning as we gathered virtually and on our mats to return to our hearts amid news cycles of fear and violence. Please bring your personal needs and intentions to this chakra one, two, and heart-focused class. A beautiful blessing from Jan Richardson's new book, How the Stars Get In Your Bones: A Book of Blessings, serves as our inspiration for always returning to Love.

If you're a ritual geek like I am, you'll love a labyrinth walk to enter a new season. November 30 is the first Sunday of Advent, and the last day of the month before we head into so many of our cultural and religious holidays and celebrations. This is a way to enter thoughtfully, open-hearted, and with intention.

Labyrinth walking is a moving meditation that calms the mind, downshifts the nervous system, and fosters clarity. It is a singular path towards the center, and itself is an archetype of life's journey. And when done in community, the impact is multiplied.

If you've never walked a labyrinth before, this is the perfect chance. If you're a seasoned walker, please join us and lift our vibration.
All you have to do is RSVP on the Google form and I'll save you a spot!

Details:
Sunday, November 30, 4pm, Greenbriar Park, South Austin
It will likely last about an hour, depending on how many people participate.
