Yoga Touch

About – Join Waller and Rae as we explore ways to Tend to Ourselves in Stressful Times through gentle, slow Yoga combined with Therapeutic Touch (self-touch with optional trauma-sensitive touchwork).

Rae will lead participants through a slow, restorative Yoga flow while offering Touch with Waller to provide more support for the body. Touch can help us come into more presence and awareness with tension we may be holding. Touch is also a really beautiful way to experience some extra support and compassion during this time. As we move slowly through yoga poses, there will be the opportunity to learn both some self touch and/or hand-on touch for embodiment, calming and compassion. Come tend to yourself during this stressful time in this truly valuable and supportive offering.

Bring awareness to what your body may be feeling/holding during this time and spend some time with it so it can feel nurtured, seen and accepted. Once we accept what is present, we can lead with a more open heart. Taking this time to care for ourselves can allow us to show up more fully for other obligations and relationships.
