Description

Outdoor yoga class at 7th West with Aryn and enjoy a Happy Hour bev after! *pay what you can* Imagine a world where time drifts slowly . . . and every mood is honored, held, and seen: Happy, Sad, Disgusted, Angry, Fearful, Bad, Surprised, Sensual, Chaotic, lmao, wtf???, emoji, blank. Sometimes we can't even put a name to it. Join me at 7th West, every other Thursday, for a yoga class that helps us move with the moods through our bodies. We'll honor the ancient roots and ourselves with asana (postures), pranayama (breath), and meditation while incorporating other therapeutic and spiritual practices. We'll learn from each other along the way as we make this hour our space. Yoga doesn't have to look like appropriated mala beads, yoga leggings, and smell like patchouli. Whatever we create as a community together is right. I'm keeping a few tickets pay what you can ("donation" option) to improve accessibility to this practice. This is for the creatives, the entrepreneurs, the unemployed and unprotected unable to find that a sense of self love that seems like it's only offered to the most privileged. And that, my loves, is my mood. - Bring personal props such as blocks, straps, bolsters, or blankets. No extra props will be provided (unless I get funding!) - A mask is required to enter and be in the area. Masks can be off during practice. - Space is limited due to social distancing - Be prepared to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out contact tracing form and set up your space *~*~*~*~ Class is guided by Aryn T. (IG: @play.scapes)- She is a certified yoga instructor based in Oakland, CA with a background in creative movement. She is a Filipina immigrant descendant focused on supporting diverse and safe dreamlands for others to feel alive through yoga and honoring their most authentic selves. She approaches class with an inclusive, trauma-informed mind. After a decade of personal practice and feeling the weight of her own trauma while navigating the world, she remembered her own agency- the power that lives in providing space for acknowledgement, release, and transformative action for herself and for others. She quit her full time job and attended a teacher training in the only inclusive yoga space she could find at the time in the Bay Area. Now she finds purpose in sharing this ancient healing practice with respect as a resource to support others in finding ease and comfort.
