Schedule

ALL TIMES LISTED ARE EASTERN STANDARD

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27

  • Join Jillian Pransky for a welcoming practice to start our program. This session will be available via recording to practice at your convenience.

monday, november 28

  • We will join for an initial ‘hello’ to sync up our energy and also get an ‘overview’ of our week together and suggestions on how to enhance your time in the program.

  • Zen Buddhism teaches us that taking care of one’s self is taking care of the world. Yet it is so easy to forget that first step - actually caring for and about yourself. Following a short dharma talk, we will practice mindfulness meditation, an attentional practice which helps balance our innate capacities for wakefulness and kindness, along with 9-part breathing, a restorative pose, simple stretching and dedicating the merit. Tending to ourself helps us be a better friend to everyone.

  • In this gentle, guided writing practice, Lisa Weinert offers a holistic approach to writing that begins with the body and breath to uncover your own hidden narratives and the transformation they can bring from the inside out.

    Regardless of whether you think of yourself as a writer, a reflective writing practice offers deep insights that support rest, relaxation, and integration. You’ll walk away with tools to create a sustainable writing practice that offers transformative self-care.

  • Join Hala for a stillness practice that recognizes that many of us don’t know how to be still. And includes those for whom movement is necessary in order to settle. Together we will explore how resourcing ourselves through grounding, rhythm, breath and choice can be a doorway into settling our body, mind and heart. We will start with simple, gentle movement and make our way towards a stillness that feels containing, supportive and spacious.

tuesday, november 29

  • In our addiction to over-stimulation, rest is a revolutionary act. When we slow down and refuse to buy into “hustle culture”, we take back our power, stay centered, lead from within and liberate ourselves from the capitalistic norm of extraction.

    Our nervous systems need healing. Indulge in a sweet restorative practice designed to unwind, replenish and soothe your nervous system. In stillness and silence, we connect with psyche and the wellspring of our deep, inner wisdom emerges.

  • How do you stay “grounded” during this season. What are your rituals, and practices that you do off the mat and in your day.

  • Nurture your heart and offer peace to your soul with compassionate self care techniques. The class will include restorative and gentle yoga postures, self massage, breath work, and guided meditation - with ambient meditative music played live by Avahara.

wednesday, november 30

  • We will practice a few long-held yoga poses on the floor (Yin Style) for settling and restoring our energy system (our kidney chi), after which we will engage in a gentle laying breath practice that is meant to balance our upper and lower energetic patterns for a deep restoration of the inner system. Please have any props you need for laying in a comfortable way, ie: a yoga mat, possibly a low cushion for under your head and knees, and a blanket to draw over you.

  • What do you do when you can’t fit in time for “relaxation” or rest”, what practices restore you?

  • If you are someone who wants to break the cycle of giving when you’re depleted, of pushing through your long list of to-dos even when you're exhausted, or of measuring your worth by all of the things you have accomplished or that you do on a daily basis, you need rest. Join me for a Restorative Yoga practice that supports deep rest, and aids in repair, resilience, and rejuvenation.

thursday, december 1

  • Explore, walk, and strengthen the bridge to rest. Learn the non-negotiable, ever-available and yogic pathway to subtle relaxation. Talked about in Yoga Sutras, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, and Bhagavad Gītā, this method of relaxation is your key to healing, health, and meditative mind. Make your practice come alive as you journey into the ancient practices of rest.

  • What can we do to nourish and enhance our sleep rituals and patterns to help us go deeper into sleep.

  • A simple but powerful practice of Resting Into Presence. Using Mindfulness as a daily practice to rest and restore our resources in order to be present with the complicated dynamics of our time. Learn how this restful practice can support you in a time when many of us are feeling overwhelmed by what is happening in our world. And how it can help you rise and act to meet this moment with more resources and clarity.

friday, december 2

  • "It's time to connect the inner work with the outer world—the best version of the world starts with the best version of each of us.

    With an offering based on her critically-acclaimed book, Sit Down to Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change the World, Shelly Tygielski will offer you the tools you need to practically and sustainably incorporate self-care into your life with the ultimate intention of build communities of care."

  • How do rest and relaxation influence and nourish you in your life and relationships?

    How has rest and relaxation been a spiritual path for you?

  • This sweet, heart-opening restorative yoga practice includes deep relaxation, quiet self-reflection, blissful meditation, and spirit-centered prayer with a sequence designed to help regulate your nervous system, still and quiet the mind, and provide the sacred opportunity to tenderly reconnect to your Higher Power; the very Source of your Being.

saturday, december 3

  • Together we will flow mindfully through a slow breath-based practice and a deep guided savasana to help us remember that support, nourishment, and connection are always available to us. Our practice will be a collective prayer for remembrance,a ritual for rest, and a refuge for souls. May you return with us to rest. May you return to remember that there is always ground—the earth, our earth—underneath you to hold you up. May you return with us to rest; to remember that the breath—our breath, the air—is all around you, just waiting for more room to fill you, to sustain you. May you remember that our earth and our breath are always here for you; always here to support and nourish you. Always loving you. Here, now. May you remember, you are always welcome to rest on the earth, with our breath, just as you are. May you return with us; and may you remember to return again and again.

  • This is a FREE offering - open to ALL!

    Join our incredible panel of Yoga & Meditation luminaries for a roundtable discussion about rest.

  • We will finish together in a community-style gathering, with a closing meditation.

    You'll have a chance to share your experience and insight you've garnered. We will offer insight for you to bring your practice forward into the season, and into your daily life.
