Many of us develop an antagonism with our bodies. In our younger years it's because we fret that we don't have the most desirable features, or that we don't measure up to attractiveness standards. As we age we feel betrayed by the body for getting older, for not being as bullet proof as it once was in youth. Illness and pain almost always result in negative feelings about the body, sometimes even anger. In this practice we will move through some gentle yet powerful somatic informers to help us settle fully into supported poses. We will also make use of an sweet mantra throughout; "I am here for my body/my body is here for me". You'll learn a bit of pain science along the way, that may offer a new perspective into the benevolence of your body. You are going to feel amazing after this practice and I hope you emerge with a new sense of friendship with your incredible body.
Props: blanket, 2 yoga blocks, a yoga bolster or really firm throw pillow.
