Good Morning! You may have noticed additional class cancellations beyond normal holiday breaks this week at In Vitality. We are surrounding our youngest son with support as he navigates appendicitis at UM. I appreciate your understanding during this time and plan to resume regular classes as soon as possible.

Understanding around pain is shifting. More to come at In Vitality Yoga.

Research suggests chronic back pain is often rooted in the brain, not physical causes. A study found 66% of participants became pain-free or nearly so after pain reprocessing therapy, emphasizing the need to rethink chronic pain origins and treatment.

I took this picture of our Yin class Deep Release this week because everyone in the room had a personal way of supporting themselves in Dragonfly. We had a bolster tucked under the armpits, a bolster under the forehead, a bolster and meditation cushion under the the arms, two blocks under the forehead, a bolster under elbows and forehead, and a bolster under the forearms.

Yoga is a personal practice. It’s like a conversation, sometimes a dance, between your body, mind, and spirit. If u allow it to be. If u allow the hard outer layers to peel away and expose the tenderness underneath. The energy comes into balance so it is noticeable and free to move about and heal.

Last week I had two comments from students that touched my heart. One person told me after doing yoga for the first time, that it was so special that they felt it in their heart. This was wonderful to hear from a cardiac rehab patient. We didn’t discuss the heart during our practice that day in class but that is where she felt the energy balance for her.

Another student told me that her hips are frequently in pain and often feel like there is almost a ball inside the hip when she leans on it. But during a prone twist in Deep Release, that tension subsided. That may seem small but it is significant. The body is designed to heal but not in isolation. The mind and spirit must be in sync.

The Science Behind Yoga: The Lymphatic System
Your lymphatic system is your body’s way of cleansing, renewing, and defending you every day. Yoga supports lymph flow naturally through mindful movement, breath, and rest.

Our earliest and most dedicated members can lock this deal in between now and October 31st! We are starting to see a small and tight community build and it is very exciting. As we gain more members we will keep adding offerings! For example we now have yoga on demand as part of our membership offerings. U can access a range or videos on the website free of charge. The plan is to offer mat and chair class offerings, along with breathwork, meditation, and more, for when you need or want to practice away from the studio.

Namaste! Share the healing!

This is personal. In my 20’s I began to experience unexplained pain, severe nerve pinching, muscle soreness, joint aching and recurring discomfort around the entire spine. While I was still functioning ok most of the time, occasionally I wasn’t. Over a period of years with increasing pain issues, numbness and more, I came to learn more about pain through scientific research, self study and experimentation. I was able to apply the tools of yoga and yoga therapy for healing and understanding around this issue. This knowledge has brought me freedom from suffering from pain.

This is not a class where a magical pose will be suggested and all your pain will go away. That’s not how it worked for me and that’s not how it works for most people. Pain is a beautifully complicated topic. There are many variables and this upcoming 6 week series will explore them. Pain science, yoga philosophy, breath, movement, meditation, self-study, and sharing.

Whether you have unexplained chronic pain or you have a known condition that causes physical chronic pain, this series is for you.
