Please join Bluebird Sky Yoga and With Love DC for our monthly series: Yoga for Change, a series focused on showing up as a warrior for love and justice.
In our attempts to activate change, what is the difference between empty apologies and living amends...obligation and service...helping others and cultivating kinship? In our movements and causes, where does "Us vs. Them" take us? What would happen if we grew compassion toward "Them?" And where - if at all - can forgiveness enter the ring? Join Holly Meyers of online resource The Urban Yoga Den for 60-minutes of reflection, writing, and Yoga Nidra. We will explore these themes, relax into openness, then close with heart-centered self-inquiry and journaling. Scheduled shortly after a New Moon, as Autumn Equinox arrives, and right smack in the middle of the Jewish Holy Days of Atonement, the energy surrounding this event is about growth, renewal, and reparation.
Holly Meyers shares yoga with human beings. She draws upon her own experiences with mental illness, trauma, addiction, recovery, and resilience to offer trauma-sensitive yoga, mindfulness, and mentoring to anyone who is hurting and asks for guidance. Whether at-risk communities, juvenile defenders, law enforcement departments, prisoners, or simply stressed out yogis, her students tap into a peace, presence, and clarity deep within. Holly emphasizes Slow Flow yoga, breathing exercises, Yoga Nidra, Chakra psychology, and Eight Limbs philosophy as tools and practices for healing and change. Visit her at the Urban Yoga Den (Holly Meyers) Facebook page.
