Begin the New Year Feeling More Calm, Clear, & Open
Saturday, February 19: Mini Retreat - Relaxing into the Heart of Winter
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” —Rumi
Relaxing our tension can help us expand our capacity to feel our compassion and our connectedness to ourselves and others. We are practicing relaxing and opening when we feel the impulse to do the opposite. We are practicing on our mats, so we can be more open and compassionate in the daily moments of our lives.
Metta (Lovingkindness) is an ancient technique that helps us expand our capacity to connect with our heart’s core qualities. Traditionally, it combines visualization with affirmations or prayers coupled with the practice of self-awareness.
In this mini-retreat, we’ll weave metta affirmations and blessings throughout our slow flow warm-ups and as we settle deeply into our restoratives. With a special focus on our lungs and heart center, we’ll expand our capacity to stay present and listen with our hearts, so you can continue releasing tension, find deep relaxation, and respond (not react) with awareness and compassion.

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the whole ocean as a drop." —Rumi
Deep Listening is the practice of pausing and opening. We pause so we can pay attention to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us in a more open and compassionate way. In this sense, Deep Listening focuses on experiencing our connectedness, which helps us experience a sense of "okayness," belonging, and wholeness. This feeling of connection not only changes the way we respond to stress, it actually leaves us feeling more at peace and sets the conditions for us to evolve. As we feel more centered in our own lives, we will have more resources to stay open, curious, compassionate, and helpful as we expand into our relationships and the world around us.
Join us for Jillian’s signature Deep Listening Series, based on her best-selling book, which will guide you to release blocked energy, surrender layers of deeply held tension, nurture your capacity for self-compassion, and help you access your inner wisdom. Weaving together mindful slow flow and restorative yoga, meditation, reflection, and off-the-mat awareness practices, you will warm your body, clear your mind, open your heart, and leave you feeling more connected.
