A slow flow intuitive movement practice designed to embrace resistance and soften into your body’s natural rhythm. Using the support of the earth, we’ll massage the body and open the hips and joints, exploring the intuitive wisdom within. This practice combines self-awakening yoga techniques and active resistance stretching to release tension and cultivate ease.
We’ll begin with a gentle Cat-Cow warm-up to awaken the spine and move into hip-opening poses like Lizard Lunge, Pigeon Pose, and Butterfly Pose. Active resistance stretching helps engage and lengthen muscles, using controlled tension to deepen the stretch while improving flexibility, circulation, and joint health. Self-awakening yoga encourages you to listen to your body, explore movement intuitively, and connect with your inner child for a playful and transformative experience.
By shifting your perspective on resistance—whether physical, emotional, or mental—you’ll learn to soften, create space, and move with life’s ebb and flow. With just 2 pillows and a blanket, this grounding practice is perfect for cultivating self-awareness and releasing tension.
