Yoga is so much more than a physical workout

It is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic practice

Share with us how your feeling today, and we will share with you an asana (physical shape) and/or mindful practice to assist in processing, releasing and.or integrating the emotions in a constructive way✨

Fascianating

Fascia: The hidden connective tissue network.

Fascia surrounds muscles, supports organs, and connects structures throughout your body. Its collagen-rich layers allow tissues to glide against one another while helping transmit mechanical forces during movement.

Fascia also contains sensory nerve endings that detect mechanical changes, contributing to your body's awareness of movement and position.
It isn't just wrapping.
It's an interconnected sensory network that helps your body move.

This is yoga✨

It’s coming back home, to yourSelf

It teaches how to breathe and move with intention…on and off the mat✨

This is what EleFest Yoga Festival & Mindful Triathlon is all about. Learning all limbs of yoga, not just asana (physical shapes), alongside others, each doing our own deeper work, building stronger communities and connections💖

Y’all

My guideline has always been concern you can, leave when you need…but do so quietly! I am in full support of honoring what your body needs, following your breath into your body and moving in the way you need. And totally understand if you need your phone if you’re on the mat in a difficult time where an emergency or critical call is expected, even as a parent in some cases.

Otherwise just NO, be respectful of the class, the guide, and yourSelf

Yoga is at its simplest, Sanskrit for yoking. One of the beautiful things about this practice is it can be many things to the practitioner.

You can show up for a good workout, good for you. The physical layer needs us to show up and get stronger.

If that’s the only reason you show up it’s a high probability you’re only showing up at that depth in the rest of your life. Deep breath. That’s typically correlated with the amount of trauma hove experienced and the walls you’ve built to protect yourself.

You’re gonna be ok.

Most classes are safe spaces to explore beyond the surface, through your breath, inviting you into the present, where you can erode the walls, and go deeper.

In a world that rushing, busying, distractions, avoidance, denial, numbing, and disassociation are not only a way of life, but celebrated. Where connection, authenticity, accountability, and empathy are becoming a rarity. When people are carrying the weight of their life experiences and generations before them.

Take pause

Change begins within. Peace begins at our core

The world desperately needs us to show up fully, for our Light to shine brighter as a beacon, and our Love to glow freer as a reminder to return to themSelves, the Divine within

Otherwise the divide will only expand

Sure showing up in some classes will help, like all education, it’s not created equally or delivered effectively. Weekly, even daily classes can only take you so far. Workshops/Masterclasses will help deepen your practice. The deepest dive you can take is yoga school.

If you are ready for a life changing experience, one that not only changes you but has a profound ripple effect, changing your family, your relationships, your reach, and ultimately the world…we start Sunday!

Radiant Soul School of Yoga, WV’s first, and only, trauma informed yoga school. We are a hybrid of in person and virtual making it possible for even the busiest person to show up.

Stop making excuses. Stop running from the pain . We are here, you are ready💖

THIS! This is why I not only love somatic practice but know the value and effectiveness for our healing journey!

Most emotional reaction/response has physical ties/root. The body keeps the score!!!! Are we getting this connection?!

This is the simplest, most powerful tool I have developed when working with someone.

Just notice the use of the word "like" and let it remind you that you're going to story, description, and the mind.

You're leaving the felt sense of the body to "make sense" about it in the mind.

To make sense about something that is purely sense.

Pause your client, and yourself in this moment, and locate the sense without a story. This is what it will look like:

I feel *like*....she just doesn't respect me = turns into = I feel a pit in my stomach.

I feel *like*... I'll just never amount to anything = turns into = I feel a tension in my chest.

I feel *like*...just running away = turns into = I feel massive energy in my legs.

When you are locating sensation, instead of describing it, you are locating agency.

Movement.

From this location the body will move without story and thought. If it doesn't automatically, you can ask your client the question: "How does this sensation want to move?"

But make sure they SHOW you, not *tell* you.

And then move with them, mirror the movement, so they see it and so that they are joined in it, rather than uncomfortably looked at as if it's a performance.

This is a shortcut for releasing stored energy, repressed agency, and repairing boundary violations.
