I root for you to stay consistent and enjoy any of the following potential benefits:
- Ground awareness in the body
- Discharge intense negative emotions
- Enhance focus and diminish chaotic thought patterns
- Diminish physical pain or tension in the body
- Bring accuracy in speech & actions
- Bring staying power to all endeavors
- Reach overall states of relaxation
- Help improve sleep.
The practices range from 8 to 40 minutes.
Each video practice includes detailed explanations or descriptions of the flow.
There are also safety instructions, as well as any other important aspects (regarding place, temperature, texture of the surface you are working on, etc.) that you need to consider for doing the practice successfully.
I have facilitated these practices for over four years weekly in my community. I have worked with groups both in-person and online, as well as facilitated all of the practices here in individual coaching sessions (I've been a coach for 9 years).
These practices have had numerous benefits, especially for those who have done them over long periods.
I can't wait to see you in class!
