THE CALENDAR OF WEEKLY CLASSES, CLINICS AND WORKSHOPS.
Let’s meet outdoors and practice meeting the open air, outdoor sounds, open sky, and perhaps let our feet feel the earth’s surface for a change.
This is a class with no tuition offered to those who can bring a yoga mat and necessary props to be safe and well aligned on the lawn in an open setting. All levels of practice are welcome though you must, you must modify your movements to be safe for your physical situation.
There is a limit of ten and I ask that everyone stay 10 feet from their neighbor and practice social distancing in any way you can according to state health rules. as you travel and arrive for our informal class.
If there is rain we will meet at my downstairs studio with 10 foot social distancing. Email if you have questions.
Let’s practice ways to transform the difficulties we sense and point them toward something helpful to ourselves and others; progressive relaxation, gentle breath work, mindful movement designed to calm the tensions, and encouragement. You will be provided a link to supportive recordings of progressive relaxation and contemplative practices.
Perhaps we can recognize that the tremendous distractions and stress of our current social, economic, and healthcare situation can be recognized as elements of how much we care and can usher a perspective of gratitude and acceptance that slows things down to the heart’s internal pace.

The three principles of Yin yoga are: 1) Come into an appropriate depth for your body in each pose; 2) Become still; 3) Hold for a long time. This can mean up to 3-5 minutes per pose. What is important is not what a pose looks like, but what it feels like… we use many props in Yin yoga to support our bodies in releasing into the connective tissues rather than specifically stretching the muscles. Yin yoga is not restorative yoga, in that we are still looking for some stress to the tissues in order to create optimal health. Yin targets mainly the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine.A slower moving class focusing on floor postures. All levels welcome.“We don’t use our bodies to get into the pose, we use the pose to get into the body”, according to my teacher, Bernie Clark.
Tuition is $30. For more information and to register: contact Kristin Kinnie MScN, MSW at Fully Alive Nutrition, [email protected], or 971 770-3400.
We are of course thankful for so many good things that come our way. You may have some inkling that a quality of gratitude is helpful even if bad things come your way. We’re less reactive, more hopeful, less stressed and so much more. In fact good research is telling us that a quality of gratitude has many benefits: Research – Proven Benefits of Gratitude.
Beyond the research and perhaps most important and most intuitive to us is this essential quality of a life well-lived. Here is a wonderful TED that captures this sense and the way we will consider gratitude during the morning: Gratitude TED. Also consider this radio interview on the program OnBeing that explores the depths and nature of gratitude: The Anatomy of Gratitude.
The very good news is that we can practice gratitude. Let’s share the practice and learning here. Learning materials included.
Thanks! — Brant
Aches and pains in the neck are common. This workshop will provide some very simple ways of awakening some of the tissues around the neck that become irritated with over or under use. Also, ways of supporting the stability of the neck girdle will be covered.
This course is in no way a replacement for medical or therapeutic care so check in with your physical or therapist if you have a diagnosis that must be adjusted for in the movement during class.
