Yin Yoga with Coastland Commons

Spend evenings in 2021 practicing Yin Yoga with certified yoga instructor Dani Forbess. Yoga moves the body into postures with intention, but Yin is a unique style that aims to move deeper into the body. Certain postures that are held for a length of time can begin to unlock the connective tissues in our body. These connective tissues are essential for maintaining both physical and spiritual health. This hour long practice will center the body and actually stress the tissues in a way that promotes whole body healing. Appropriate for all levels of physical fitness. Your body, your yoga.

In a pandemic world, what is the point of something like Lent? Should we keep it around? It feels like many of us have been living our own Lenten reality for the last year. We’ve all given up more than we care to remember.

But what if a deeper dive into Lent revealed a great diversity of practices that could lead to a startling recovery of the mind body connection? What if the practice of Lent can be tuned to your own bio-diversity? And what if it creates a form of healing empowerment that brings forth new fruits of freedom and passion?

Over the weeks of Lent, we’ll focus on listening to our bodies, including specific practices that awaken our consciousness. We’ll focus on nutrition, and learning the patterns that lead us toward our creative fire. We’ll focus on finding our teachers and cultivating shared spaces, so that we nurture ourselves through community. We’ll focus on creativity, and making space for both action and silence. We’ll go deep so that when summer comes, we can bask in the light and let our fruits come into being. We’ll go from hunger to feast. Your Lent, your way. Decentralized and in your hands. Find your power.

To get some background on what we’ll be offering for this Lent and why, you can check this blog post from Dani. If you find that your curiosity has peaked and you’d like to explore this Lenten journey, check out the specifics to get plugged in.

The Specifics

We will be offering Lent groups twice a week on Zoom, each with a particular focus. The purpose of each focus point is to help us learn to see something new about ourselves. Through focused body awareness and collective processing, these Lenten groups will offer several different ways to connect and align our minds and our bodies. We will gather once a week for Yin Yoga on Zoom (all abilities welcome!) and once a week for a discussion on Zoom as well.

This project is designed so that you can commit to as little or as much as you’d like. Want discussion and no yoga? Great. Want yoga and no discussion? Wonderful. Want a mixture of both? Up to you! Each offering is designed for folks to jump in and out of it as is desirable. Click the sign up button if you’d like to join us, and check out the schedule below!
