What is ready to release? . This is often a theme

What is ready to release?
.
This is often a theme of mine, but this past week more than ever I felt the need to dwell there. The yoga practice is all about diving in and developing that keen awareness of what is going on within: body, energy, emotion, mind. Beyond developing this awareness, we need to figure out how to break free of the bonds if what we are holding onto, be that patterns of tension in the body or patterns of thought that no longer serve us. The focus is not on fighting that which we haven't fully processed, but that which we have uncovered, turned over, decided it isn't beneficial, yet hasn't quite come unstuck yet.
.
Join me this week for any of my practices where as always, we'll explore this theme as an undercurrent.

A little playtime and research time for me.

This week's classes are going to be focused on stimulating the marmani that aid in releasing emotional turbulence, finding soothing motions and postures to incorporate into our practice, and embracing that sense of anything can happen in a good way with a healthy dose of play.

Are you joining me? There are 3 classes for @jcclosgatos members and 3 classes through the Om Fairy studio (free or pay what you can) this week. Registration links for both are on my site.

Grief. A deep sorrow for what has been lost. It can be a deep well we fall into or an emotion we recognize, acknowledge, and maybe even appreciate for what we once had or experienced.
.
Most associate grief with death or loss of a loved one, though we can grieve other types of loss. I learned this last year as I moved through the loss of a community I had been a part of for some time. Even if I knew it was coming, the feelings hit just as hard. If there's a silver lining, it's that as I've moved through the year that is 2020, I could quickly greet this emotion, understanding where it stemmed from. The awareness lessens a bit of the wallowing in the emotion, lessening the spiral, surfacing the root cause of the emotions. It doesn't dissipate grief, but all the offshoots that I could travel down.
.
This has been a year for grieving. Grieving the loss of gatherings with friends and family, hugs and human touch, traveling and exploring. Grieving the loss of livelihoods for many. Now, here in California, it's grieving the loss of land, trees, homes of friends and colleagues. Grieving for a time when all is well.
.
Yet even in these times, there are those silver linings to cling to. Whether it's the brief moment of blue sky we were blessed with this week, the more time with family, the home cooked meals... There's a list of joyful moments I am grateful for. Even the beauty that is unfolding in the midst of this chaos. And that's the beauty of being human: you can hold two seemingly opposing emotions at once. Being joyful doesn't erase what we grieve for, and grieving doesn't mean you can have a smile break out amongst the worry or the tears. We are a complex being capable of holding many emotions and many views at once. It's not black and white; it is a spectrum.

Dial it in.
☀️🌙
It feels as if this entire year is simply a holding pattern, a place to stop and peer deep into our lives, discovering what has been serving us, what has been holding us back, what we want, and what we don't miss.
🌑
It is the practice thrust upon us. What yoga is at its core, at least for me, is that deep inquiry into what drives us - physically, mentally, emotionally. Developing that awareness that allows us to see clearly, to dial in what we need and release that which is no longer serving us.

Surya: the source of all life.
☀️
The sun is at the forefront of my mind this week as temps in the Bay area have been topping 100°. Even sun-and-warmth-loving me has found the heat a bit much at times.
Join me for this week's classes where we'll be exploring the firey sun energy within us, and how to bring this element into balance through movement, pranayama, meditation, and marma therapy. Whether you're looking for a more chill practice or something upbeat, I've got it for you!

Bliss: to reach a state of perfect happiness, typically so as to be oblivious of everything else.
