Deep Relaxation (a radical act )


As author Audre Lorde said:

Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation,

and that is an act of political warfare.”

Big words…

simple practices…

easy to enjoy…

difficult to start…

even harder to sustain…………

In this workshop we will practice 8 different methods of relaxation.

A new method every week!

For 8 weeks!!

(plus one bonus session, on week 9… see below…)

Each session lasts 60 minutes, begins with brief checkins, moves on to a brief description of the day’s practice… followed by marinating and indulging in the day’s selected relaxation practice.

Practices will include:

  • Mindfulness

  • Yoga Nidra, a.k.a. deep head-to-toe relaxation, lying down

  • Self Massage

  • Using the Voice for physical, emotional and mental stress relief

  • Gentle Yoga, a.k.a. mindful stretching for presence and stress relief

  • Visualization

  • Breathing Practices for relaxation and energy balance

    (No prior experience is needed.)

    (Feel free to ask questions about any of this!)

In addition, the 9th and final class, which is FREE of charge for enrolled members, will include:

  • Exploring barriers to practicing regular relaxation. They may be in your head, they may be around you. How can you work with and around that? ? ?

  • Exploring ways of making your relaxation practice realistic and sustainable.

  • Learning creative hacks, together….

Come de-Stress…

and expand your

self care toolbox!
