This special 6 week series will be so fun and transformative, with a focus each day on one of the 6 heart virtues – Appreciation, Compassion, Forgiveness, Humility, Understanding, Valor
During each session we will:
- Center, breathe, and set intention – Each session will begin with 5-10 minutes of deep breathing and guided meditation to align with the heart virtue of the day.
- Move mindfully – Staying with the breath, we open and expand and move through various yoga poses finding our stability, balance and strength. Each cell holds and remembers the heart virtue we are working with,
- Integrate with vibrational healing – An extended sound healing savasana ends our yoga practice, with vibrations that will integrate the heart virtue into all aspects of your being.
- Reflect and share – Find the caring and support of community as we share how we have been impacted and how we feel inspired to adopt and embrace the heart virtues into our daily lives.
