Emotional Cleansing Body Awareness for Sleep 16.03.2023

Derived from Lisa Sanfilippo, transpersonal psychotherapist and sleep specialist, this meditation practice can help get to the root cause of emotion. When we learn to sit with and move through emotion, rather than resisting or ignoring it, we gain greater control of emotional regulation and in turn, release emotional baggage that may be keeping us from quality sleep. This practice is strengthened...

I invite you turn off all other electronics, turn your lights down as much as you can, turn the heat down or cool air up, and climb into bed.

If you are interested in diving deeper into slumber, yoga therapy can show you how to approach sleep...

I invite you to use this visualization the next time you take a shower.

Gratitude Amidst Grief 23.11.2022

This time of year lends itself to reflection and finding things in which we are grateful. Practices in gratitude are so beneficial for healing and finding ease. But when we are experiencing grief, anger, or despair, forcing ourselves to be grateful can be inauthentic and ineffective. We can, instead, work on honoring the grief that lives in the body AND making space for gratitude. There is room fo...
