Release to Receive
By Ekaette Ekong on May 21, 2021
This is an all-levels class where beginners are welcome and experienced yogis will also get a deep and mindful practice. Some poses will feel wonderful and others may bring up resistance. Resistance often happens when we approach a place where we carry tension, whether it's physical or emotional. Resistance is different from pain. If you experience pain, that is a signal to back off, use props or modify in order to find a variation of the pose that works for your body so you can breathe deeply. Resistance is the emotion that might creep up if you find yourself in a shape that offers you the opportunity to soften and unwind. Sometimes we're scared to let go. See if you can breathe deeply into any resistance and give your body the chance to release so you create the space to receive.

Where the Earth meets Sky
By Ekaette Ekong on Feb 4, 2021
This is a strengthening practice focusing on our hips and hamstrings. Using long holds, we will learn to create deeper connection with our legs and our back body, We will also flow to become more attuned to ourselves and how we move through space. Remember that your time on your mat is yours. Take breaks as and when you need. Honor the true inner voice of self and it will show you the way. Prior to beginning, take about 5 minutes to settle into a comfortable seat and find your breath. Breathe evenly and deeply. Try to smooth out roughness in your breathing. As you settle more into your breath, begin to awaken ujjayi pranayama (breathing through the back of your throat, creating a whispery quality of sound). As you continue to breathe fluidly, now begin to balance out your breath so that your inhales and exhales are the same length. Become mindful of your breath. Consider it a dear friend here to support you throughout your practice. Take a moment and inwardly acknowledge yourself for getting on your mat today and holding this sacred time for self-exploration. When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes, and hit “play”. May all beings be happy, safe, and free, E.

Be Where You Are with Love
By Ekaette Ekong on Jan 6, 2021
Be Where You Are. Love Who You Are. Being present is extremely elusive. We have brief glimpses of it, like looking at stars in a dark sky. Eventually our mind is focusing on the past or future, and the moment of NOW is lost. Can you be exactly where you are with acceptance? Can you be compassionate with yourself when you fall and pick yourself up? We will explore these themes of patience, presence and curiosity as we move into this hour long practice together. Be easy with yourself. You may lose your balance and/or your focus. Know that you can always find your way back to presence and self-acceptance. Love and Peace to all, E.
