Listen to the playlist

We made a custom PLAYLIST on Spotify to enjoy with this class…

Class begins with Natural Breath Awareness with an emphasis on belly breathing to activate the parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve. Students are asked to write down one current challenge hat is present in life, and then guide the body into intuitive spinal movements and rest in Child’s Pose. Moving through the Pawanmuktasana (joint- centered movement) series, students are invited to allow the rhythm of the full natural breath to be the central focus. Class closes with thepractice of Yoga Nidra and a journaling prompt to transform stress into eustress.

Reflection Questions

1) Towards the start of class, students are prompted to write down one challenge that is presenting itself in life.

2) At the end of class, students are prompted with: “Within this challenge, I can let go of…”

Finding where we can release within our stresses can allow our stress to transform into eustress: something that is beneficial and empowering to our growth.
