Welcome to Healing the body to heal the mind program! I'm so glad you've decided to join this practice. I know that taking this step can be a big one, and I want to acknowledge your courage in prioritizing your well-being. In this space, we'll explore yoga practices with a focus on safety, choice, and empowerment. This means: - Choice: You'll be invited to make choices about your own body and movement throughout our time together. There will be no pressure to do anything that doesn't feel right for you. - Safety: We'll work together to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring movement and sensation. - Empowerment: The practices are designed to help you connect with your own inner resources and build a sense of agency. Here are a few things you can expect: - No prior experience necessary: Whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years, these sessions are designed to be accessible to everyone. - Focus on sensation, not shape: We'll be more interested in what you feel in your body than in how a pose looks. - Invitation, not instruction: You'll be invited to explore movements, not told what you have to do. - Modifications are always welcome: Please feel free to modify any movement or take a break at any time. - Confidentiality: This is a safe space and what is shared here, stays here. I have attached a few reminders and a worksheet that we will work on tomorrow .If you have any questions or concerns before we begin, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to support you on your journey. I look forward to practicing with you on Monday
