ONLINE CLASSES:
THE YOGA OF POETRY
Great for yogis looking to enliven a home practice, or for teachers looking for inspiration planning classes, this course formalizes a unique approach to teaching the embodied exploration of poetic language.

Each week you'll find:
-a poem carefully selected for its seasonal relevance or a moment on the calendar
-a short, distilled paragraph capturing its most striking phrases or images
-a methodical progression of physical practices (movements, breath practices, and visualizations) related to the poem's themes, designed to be accessible to all ages, body types, and levels of practice.
A CHRYSALIS FOR CHANGE; MEDITATION TOOLBOX

You'll find:
-6-minute video teachings (wisdom tradition gems + snippets of poetry)
-6-minute audio meditations (A grab-bag of creative, playful approaches to a daily meditation practice. Fresh techniques for finding your favorite way to drop in and center down)
-playful exercises like writing prompts, self-care tips, and experiments to export into your everyday life

You choose your start date, and level of participation.
A great way to share with non-locals the poetry and embodied reflections we practice in class.
