The Still Point of the Turning World | Seated Meditation
In this seated meditation we explore what the yogis refer to as the stillness at the center and what TS Eliot called “the still point of the turning world.” We move from outer experience to inner experience and repose for a moment in the quiet place within. In that place, we tap into our deepest wisdom.
When Things Fall Apart | Chair Yoga
"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.
Soft Breath, Fierce Heart | Meditative Mat Flow
In this breath-led, meditative movement class, we begin by softening into sensation—inviting the breath to aerate whatever is present in the body, heart, and mind. Each pose is explored not as a shape to achieve, but as a feeling to inhabit, from the inside out.
As the breath expands, we make space. As the movement deepens, we listen closely. The flow gradually builds toward Warrior III—a shape that invites balance not only in the body, but in the self: a warrior who is both steady and tender, fierce and open-hearted.
Woven throughout is the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, offering a contemplative rhythm:
“Let this darkness be a bell tower / and you the bell. As you ring, / what batters you becomes your strength.”
Come as you are. Let the breath move through you. Let your strength be shaped by softness.
