SEPTEMBER AT BREATHE N FLOW YOGA
STRENGTH AND GRACE
|
|
In September at Breathe N Flow Yoga our focus is strength and grace.
Did you know that a tree cut to a stump can eventually grow back into a full-sized tree? It’s because a strong root system is still there. When the roots continue to send the nourishment and energy, the tree continues to grow, giving rise to new life.
For 10 years Breathe N Flow Yoga has been rooting itsself into the community. We’re drawing strength from those roots to rise up in a new way. Join us this month as we approach this new journey with strength and grace.
Here are a few ways you can practice strength and grace:
On your mat:
Strength is the capacity for exertion or endurance, and grace is defined as ease and suppleness.
Set your intention on the mat to bring strength and grace into balance. Resist the urge to exert so much energy that you struggle to find ease. Strive to move just beyond that place of pure indulgence in a pose by calling on a little strength. Your practice on the mat will benefit from a balance of both.
In your Community:
Given the events of 2020 chances are we all know someone who could benefit from some shared strength and grace. Maybe it’s our family, friends, neighbors, or maybe even a stranger. Reach out. Connect with someone where they are.
Share compassion. Then be a source of strength that can help move them forward. Support, encouragement, a gift, or just being there for them to lean on can be the grace they need to move them forward.
In your heart and mind:
Inhale. I am Strong.
Exhale. I am enough.
We look forward to practicing with you in all ways this month at Breathe N Flow Yoga!

SEPTEMBER POSE OF THE MONTH -
DANCER POSE - NATARAJASANA
|
|
Pose of the month: Dancer Pose (Natarajasana)
Dancer is a fun and challenging way to practice balance and back-bending. It calls on us to open our hearts and root down and rise up with balance and focus.
Practicing Strength and Grace in this pose:
You can demonstrate strength in your feet, ankles, legs, core, back, arms, and more grace and suppleness when opening up the chest, hip flexors and the shoulders.
Take care not to lock the knee of the standing leg, and be sure to warm-up with other backbends.
"I love this picture and from your view it may look like I was in perfect focus and as stable as can be. TRUTH is, I couldn't "hold" the pose for more than a few breaths. Then I remembered, We all Wobble. How we reset and try again is when Grace inspires strength." ~LH
Thank you Alexandra Spergel for capturing the "perfect" picture for our focus and pose of the month.

The Four Agreements - A Trauma-Informed Application
4 Part Course - Leah Hartofelis with United We Om
|
|
In this four-part course, we will discover and study how many of our beliefs, behaviors, and life values have been predetermined or pre-written by others. Each week we will unpack and apply trauma informed applications of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz to re-write our own “powerful code of conduct for attaining personal freedom and true happiness”.
Each session will offer a well balanced blend of discussion, Pranayama and Meditation practice, and journaling.
Week 1 - Be impeccable with your word. Learn the connection between sound vibration and toning the vagus nerve, finding your authentic voice, and the practice of words as a vehicle for service.
Week 2 - Don’t take anything personally. Explore "self-less" service and the intersection with Karma Yoga.
Week 3 - Don’t make assumptions. The practice of Responding vs. Reacting.
Week 4 - Always do your best. Practices and roadmaps to show up for yourself, your loved ones, and your community.
Donation based, no minimum. Can't join live? No worries! A recording will be emailed out to all registrants. Donations support our work sharing accessible yoga with trauma-impacted communities.
Thursdays October 8, 15, 22, 29
6:00 - 7:00 pm EST, optional discussion 7:00 - 7:15 pm EST
