Desk Stretch: Shoulders & Neck Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

If your shoulders are hunched up to your ears, your head is jutting forward, and your neck feels like a cable, it's time for a break. Here's a 5-minute one you can take right at your desk to melt your frozen-in-place shape and release some tension in your shoulders and neck.

Harvest Season Practice {Re-Embodied Re-Play} Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

Part of us is still attuned to more ancient ways of tracking time, and that part yearns to mark the shift from the fruitfulness of summer and the activity of early fall toward a quieter period of preserving, composting, and settling in for rest. Today's Embodied Meditation, a Harvest Season practice, is perfect for the evening. It will help you wind down from an entire portion of the year or just the day's doings and prepare for bed.

Morning Body Scan Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

The poet Ellen Bass talks about how she writes poetry because she doesn't want to miss the world. I think that's such a beautiful way of describing how any contemplative practice—including the practices of yoga—can help us be more present and receptive to the daily gifts and lessons the world has to offer. Today's Embodied Meditation is a Morning Body Scan with Movement that invites you to bring this sense of attention and reverence into the start of your day.

In the Flow Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

Breath and movement help us connect – not only to ourselves, but to the natural flow and rhythm of life. This Embodied Meditation begins with a breathing practice, then progresses to gentle, breath-centered movement. You'll finish by riding your breath into stillness, resting into your place in the flow of things.

Release Tension in Your Belly {Re-Embodied Re-Play} Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

We're so hard on our bellies. Trying to contain and control them. Criticizing ourselves for what we do or don't put into them. Clamping down on them when they try to send us signals. And then wondering why they don't effortlessly digest, relax, look great, and let us get on with our lives. This Embodied Meditation offers breathing, movement, and a guided meditation to relieve all that tension, then tap into the deep wisdom of your gut instinct.
