In this gentle, grounding practice, we slow down and take things one step at a time. Using the steady support of the chair, we move with care and attention, pausing often to listen inwardly. Inspired by the Sanskrit concept of viveka—discernment or clear seeing—we explore how mindful movement can help us recognize what serves us and what gently asks to be released. This class invites you to practice choosing each next step with patience, presence, and trust.

"We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy." --Pema Chödrön

In this gentle online chair yoga class, we look to what contemplative practice can offer us in challenging times. Inspired by Pema Chödrön’s reflection on healing, this practice invites you to sit with the full range of your human experience.

We’ll gently invite processing of experience through the range of yogic tools: breath-centered movement, pranayama, and meditation. This class is especially supportive for those navigating change, loss, or simply needing space to feel.

This somatic yoga practice invites you to move gently, breathe deeply, and attune to subtle shifts within the body. Through breath-led movement, mindful transitions, and supported rest, we’ll explore how small changes can create meaningful spaciousness—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Designed to support nervous system balance and inner awareness, this practice offers a soft return to yourself, just as you are.
