What to expect
The Same Simple Shape, Every Day
First a dedication. Then three steps at each of our seven centers, root to crown. We finish with gratitude.
Trailing Clouds
Slow, swirling movements gently contact the field around us and gather it in.
Two Suns Rising
Our attention is our mind's steering wheel. We spin what we've gathered finer, like candy floss winding onto a stick.
The Seven Seals
In postures named for the bear and the heron, the gathered energy settles.
I am here. I accept myself. I welcome my whole self into this center.
Why come
An Hour for Yourself
We breathe five seconds in and five seconds out as we move: the ten-second rhythm the HeartMath Institute links with heart coherence, when the heart's rhythm settles into a smooth, even wave. Calm, clearer thinking, steadier feelings.
The shape stays the same every day, so the practice grows stronger and easier each time you come back.
