❄️✨Tending the Hearth: A Winter Yoga Journey✨❄️
As the world turns quiet and the days grow short, we are invited to move inward. This winter series offers a warm, candlelit sanctuary to welcome the darkness rather than turn away from it.
Together, we will take the time to look gently into our shadows, finding the nourishment that only stillness can provide. Through pranayama (breathwork) and restorative postures, we will tend to the "baby sun"—that small, glowing seed of intention growing within the fertile dark of the season.
No experience is needed. Come as you are to slow down, breathe deeply, and honor the rhythm of the winter soul.
Standing Meditation & Taichi
In Tai Chi, we do not train the body alone.
We cultivate the spirit, refine the breath, and return the heart to stillness.
This four-class series offers a doorway into the classical foundations of Tai Chi, beginning with the most essential: standing. Through standing meditation (站桩 zhàn zhuāng), we learn to settle the body, quiet the mind, and feel the subtle flow of Qi.
Then, movement arises—not from force, but from connection.
Each gesture flows from the ground, passes through the center, and extends outward like water guided by the contours of a stream.
Together, we will explore:
🌿 Rooting and aligning the body with the earth
🌿 Moving with softness, intention, and natural breath
🌿 The principle of song (鬆) — deep release without collapse
we return to our original nature: balanced, quiet, alive.
No experience needed. All bodies, all ages welcome. Come with sincerity; leave with a deeper sense of harmony.
