​Sunday, February 2, is Groundhog Day. Folklore says that if this day is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow we'll have 6 more weeks of winter. If it's cloudy and the groundhog doesn't see its shadow we'll have an early spring.

This week in class we'll focus on our own shadow, the shadow side of our heart. We'll breathe into the back side, the shadow side, of our ribcage. From our heart we'll expand our ribs on all sides, including the back side, and lift them up. We'll explore the shadow side of our heart.

Join us this week as we move into the unknown, the shadow side.

Where do we stand when the going gets rough? Can we stand strong in our foundation, our roots? Practice with us this week as we work to build strength in the roots of our body, our feet, legs, and hips. We need strong roots to weather the storms in our lives. Let's strengthen them together in class!

Consider the Central Channel of energy in your body that runs from your pelvic floor to the top of your head. Think of this Channel as a serpentine tube the width of your neck that curves with the natural curves of your spine. Open and lengthen this Channel, keeping its curvy shape. Pulsing with your breath, with every exhale root down through your toes, and with every inhale rise up through your Central Channel to the top of your head.

Join us this week, the first week of a new 9-week session, as we open our Central Channel with the breath.
