Enjoy this sequence of movements that I was taught is one of several ideal preparations to move into yoga nidra or meditation. It’s a really simple and wonderful way of bringing the mind back into the body & creating some subtle space where there may be tension and also encouraging blood and energy to flow more freely to our joints & glands. I hope you enjoy it.

"When we master our energy, we reclaim our power. We stop being pulled by old stories and start writing new ones.” @the.sattva.life How are you? There is no doubt that these times are challenging. Many of you are feeling tired, overwhelmed and in need of a supportive community and some self-care in order to stay aligned, inspired and resilient. Let's get together to practice and share. The theme for this practice is around exploring inner alignment and how we can nurture this feeling of peace, of calm.. of wholeness regardless of what is going on in the outer world. I know for me I need daily practices like meditation to stay connected to that wise, deeper part of myself. I know that when I am working too hard and not taking time to pause, I often feel burnt out and disconnected from myself. I know that when I get still and listen, that inner wisdom is always reassuring me, always kind.. When I connect with that more spacious, loving side of myself, I often feel encouraged to keep going, to keep putting more of my authentic self into the world. There’s also a purifying Himalayan breathwork practice and beautiful heart centered meditation to complete the yoga practice, along with some reflection prompts for you and a poem.
