Self Kindness: A Valentines Workshop

As we near Valentine's Day, this is your invitation to give some time to the relationship that underlies all the others - the one with yourself. While the inner critic can keep us stuck in perfection and hold us back from sharing our authentic selves, our inner best friend can give us a source of support we can call upon at any time. This is a compassionate space to invite in more kindness towards ourselves so that we can refill our cup and realign with our potential. We will open in circle, sipping on warm ceremonial cacao, a grounding ritual to help us connect with the wisdom of our heart's. We will tune into any narratives we are running and how we can gently steer that inner voice towards kindness. A short loving kindness (metta) meditation will help us deepen that state and extend it to others. There will be the option to share in circle if you feel to, as well as a short space to journal or rest. A gentle yoga practice will then help us embody the feelings of softness, expansion and grounding. Holding restorative poses, there will be the option to integrate a few guided self massage techniques before an extended savasana dedicated to giving ourselves permission to drop the need to perform and find our value in just being. connect to your inner kind voice let your nervous system unwind be warmly held in circle carve out some space to refill your cup Alongside teaching yoga, Rosa is also a massage therapist and holds in MSc in Psychology.
