VIRTUAL ONLY- Summer Reading Book Club: Radical Acceptance

WITH nancy fallon

Fridays, 6:30- 7:30 PM

June 14, 21, 28; July 12, 19, 26; August 16, 23

“...because our habits of feeling insufficient are so strong, awakening from the trance involves not only inner resolve but also an active training of the heart and mind.”

Join Nancy Fallon, RYT-500, for a deep dive into self-reflection, self-love, and self-acceptance as we journey together through the pages of meditation master Tara Brach’s Radical Acceptance. Expect journal prompts, topics for discussion, self-discovery, meditation, breath work, and maybe even tears as we unbury our true hearts and begin to understand how the practice of non-attachment and true acceptance can lead us to radical change in all of the best ways within our hearts and our lives.

Whether you are feeling called to examine your own heart (depression, anxiety, grief, life change, feeling stuck in dissatisfaction or boredom with life) or simply want to learn how to deepen your understanding of the meditation tradition and where it can lead us internally, this will be a beautiful way to explore growth this summer. Participants will be responsible for purchasing or borrowing their own copy of Radical Acceptance, but will be provided with handouts and a wealth of knowledge on these precious, life altering practices!

This offering is virtual only, and recordings may be requested for days you must miss live classes.

Trauma informed healing- For students & Yoga teachers

with bonnie abbott

Friday, Aug. 2, 6:30- 9:30 pm- virtual;

Saturday, Aug. 3, 12-8 pm (in person- with meal breaks);

Sunday, Aug. 4, 12-8 pm (in person- with meal breaks)

As practitioners and teachers of yoga, we may know anecdotally the benefits of yoga and trauma, but find ourselves at a loss of how to explain the connection, or how to weave this wisdom into our teaching. In this training, participants will gain insights into trauma and our nervous systems, stress responses, self-regulation, and co-regulation techniques, preparing them to effectively respond to stressors in teaching environments. We will practice how to craft trauma-informed yoga classes, emphasizing predictability, emotional modifications, and inclusive language. We will explore the intersection of social justice and yoga, creating a brave space for questioning, discussion, and what interconnectedness really means regarding yoga philosophy.
