A safe and friendly introduction to yoga, appropriate for those wanting to try an accessible form of yoga or for those who have had injuries in the past. We will practice movements that teach yoga alignment in ways that are available to most everyone. We will practice relaxation as well as develop strength and flexibility. Easy and modified yoga poses will be explored. Your physician should release you for general physical activity.
A half-day retreat to honor Spring, the coming warmth, life emerging from the darkness of Winter. Come and join us practicing a loving presence toward yourself, your loved ones, the world around you, your intentions for the season. Gentle movement, contemplative practice, readings, relaxation exercises, readings to support us as we honor the season. Time to share your intentions, readings or a poem if you wish. With Brant on the first day of Spring. 9am to noon, $15.

Donaldson Correctional Facility is situated in the Alabama countryside southwest of Birmingham. 1,500 men, considered the state’s most dangerous prisoners, live behind high security towers and a double row of barbed and electrical wire fences.
Within this dark environment, a spark was ignited. A growing network of men had been gathering to meditate on a regular basis. Intrigued by this, Jenny Phillips, cultural anthropologist and psychotherapist, first visited Donaldson Correctional Facility in the fall of 1999. She planned to observe the meditation classes facilitated by inmates and to interview the inmate meditators about their lives as prisoners.

This is a general overview and discussion of the benefits of movement practices like yoga and meditative practices as taught in my MBSR training. We will touch on research and publications that will help us understand how these practice an be appropriately applied for folks with trauma-related challenges. One resource is the excellent book my Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score. He writes about how we recover from trauma. He notes that movement practice like in the trainings here are very healing when we are exposed to trauma. Here’s an interview with him: Bessel van der Kolk.
