This class is a more challenging beginner yoga flow that invites you to cultivate self compassion. Coming from a “no pain no gain” culture, many of us benefit from being reminded that practising yoga in a way that helps us honor the experience pleasure in the body can be a more effective way to calm the nervous system, while still building strength and alignment. This class can also help you appreciate the experience of pleasure in your daily life.

I first did this class before a visit from my father. I have been working on having new boundaries with him and this class was perfect to remind me that I have to give love to myself before others. This class also reminds me that I don't have "push" through life to be successful. As I am shifting various patterns in life, I am opening myself up to experiencing pleasure and self compassion. I love this class and have been doing it once a week!
