Wishing you Joy and Peace
We had a blazing fire on the solstice, out in the snow. As we fed the fire from our burn pile and felt it roar to life I relished the suggestion of transformation that a fiery blaze offers. Toss in grief, anger, fear and let these burn into a searing, glorious expression of pure energy. Prana is energy and it doesn't diminish or disappear, but it does transform itself. My wish is that 2021 will allow us to alchemize the anguish and fear and sadness of the past 9 months into proactive and innovative hope and action.
I wish you and your loved ones a safe and peaceful holiday.
Love,
Leslie
Flex-stream Yoga...what is it?
If 2020 taught us anything it is that we need to be flexible and adapt to our ever-changing world. Fortunately, the practice of yoga gives us tools to remain flexible in mind and body and allows us to move through life with more fluidity and grace. “Flex-stream” Yoga classes are just that: flexible. You use the same “view broadcast” link as livestream and you sign up for class the same way. But, you can take the class anytime that day until midnight.
A few notes about “Flex-stream” classes:
•Only classes with the “Flex-stream” label are offered in this format.
•You need to sign up as if you are attending the class live (before the scheduled start of class) to access the link. flex-stream classes will be taught as though they were livestream—tailored to that day, style, level etc.—but will be pre-recorded and uploaded so you can practice flexibly, at your convenience.
• The link will not work until the scheduled class time and will not work after midnight, on the day of the class.
•We ask that you respect the teachers and studio by not sharing the link.
•Music: Teachers may make and provide a playlist on Spotify* to accompany the practice. If you miss practicing to music and have a Spotify account this is seamless. If you don’t have an account, Spotify will shuffle the playlist (which may leave you with an overly energetic song in savasana!) Depending on what device you're watching the class on, you can play Spotify on the same device and adjust the volume on Spotify to balance the voice of the teacher or play on 2 devices if that is available.
* This system is necessary to avoid copyright infringement.
Ready to give it a go? There will be 2 flex-stream classes on Christmas and Chrissy will be teaching 2 FREE classes next week! See Events for more information on both.
note: we are brainstorming on ways to connect live with people who really want that real time connection for a few minutes before these classes start. Stay tuned and check the website for updates!
