Welcome to Practice! Yoga practice gives us profound tools and capacities in our lives. It’s hard to practice something that we don’t understand the value of; knowing what’s important to us is important. Online yoga classes give us the best of both worlds: guidance from someone experienced in the work, and the freedom to adjust what's being offered to suit our personal practice. We do our own work on our own mats with the acknowledgment that we’re not doing it alone (nor could we!). The result is that we feel more connected—both to ourselves and to one another. In a world where we can be surrounded all around by others and still feel lonely, connection matters. Connection to community matters. In the process we come up against our hard edges, and with support we find ways to still remain open… even when it’s hard. Even when it feels impossible. Everything that we do has to do with our attention. Where do we start? We start where we are. My aim for this platform is to foster a community of practitioners who care for and support one another—even across the Net. I make the assumption that you're here to learn. I teach in that way. I'm not here to give you a "basic" facilitation class (though I see the value in classes like that, too!). I'm here to teach you how to practice. Teaching is a skill. It's a skill I've honed through 11 years of doing it and five years of teaching others how to do it. It's a skill I've honed in my graduate studies in pedagogy (the theory and practice of learning, and how this process influences, and is influenced by, the social, political and psychological development of learners). And it's a skill I use every day with my toddler! In the end it's not about the postures themselves; it's about what arises as we endeavor to learn them. Yoga is not a work-out; it is a work-in. Welcome. Engage. Ask questions. Leave comments. Share your experience. I’m here for you. ~Brooke ******************************** "The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships." TKV Desikachar “You must hold the balance by the intelligence of the body… When you keep the balance by strength, it is physical action; when you keep it by the intelligence of the body, it is relaxation in action.” B.K.S. Iyengar

Shape Shift to State Shift

Gayatri Mantra:
Om bhur bhuvah svah
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.

The eternal, earth, air, heaven
That glory, that resplendence of the sun
May we contemplate the brilliance of that light
May the sun inspire our minds.
*Translation by Douglas Brooks

********************************

Here's a class with a sequence that is ideal for anyone working with anxiety, depression, general restlessness, or sleeping troubles.

The template for the class is: Sun Salutations, Standing Poses & Hip Openers, Handstand, Backbend, Seated Twist and Wide-Legged Forward Fold.

Feel free to adapt the postures being offered to suit where you are in your practice; but I encourage you to work within this template! It's adapted from the wise recommendations of Patricia Walden: "Standing poses help ground you... Backbends give you a feeling of hope as they invigorate you and open your chest... Inversions help balance your endocrine system and even out your emotions—by turning everything upside-down, they help you get 'unstuck'... "

Wishing you a beautiful practice and a profoundly positive state shift.
