Join Melissa for three new pre-recorded yin yoga sessions that honor the richness of both harvest and transformation that the Autumn season brings to our lives. Autumn is a time of year that the experience of change, harvest and surrender is all around us as the leaves begin to change, peak in their beautiful colors, and finally surrender to the earth. Each week she will be sharing a different intention that will be woven throughout the class.

Saturday, October 4th – Embracing Change
This class will interweave Yoga philosophy and contemporary poetry to explore our relationship to change in our lives. The sequence will be focused on the hip flexors and spine with psoas releasing postures, supported backbends, and twists.

Saturday, October 11th – Harvest
This class will focus on receiving abundance by way of contemporary spiritual and poetic teachings. One of the most beautiful aspects of the Autumn is the harvest of the Summer season and preparing for Winter. This class will be slower paced and provide restorative yin postures that open the hips and spine.

Saturday, October 18th – Surrender
This class will bring forth teaching on the concept of Īśvarapraidhāna from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, translating as “surrender to something greater than oneself.” The falling leaves in Autumn reflects such a beautiful metaphor of surrender. This class will bring poetry and philosophy into the exploration of supported postures, breath awareness, and softening into the natural unfolding of the body.

These three classes will culminate with the Yin Intensive honoring Samhain, the midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice.
