From Survive to Thrive: Practices for Everyday Wellness

This intro to the series will offer you a primer on each of the Vayus, the five winds of life, that we will work with during this series and how these Vayus manifest in our human lives.

In this session, we will enhance our ability to digest and turn all emotions and experiences into wisdom.

This class with Meg McCraken revolves around Vyana Vayu, the energy that controls the connection between our sensory, physical, and emotional system. Through expansive arm and shoulder movement, pranayama, and meditation, we will enhance our circulation and our capacity to shine from the inside out.

Rediscover your ability to express and manifest courageously. Through liberation of the neck, throat, and chest, we will create space for clear communication and action. The practice will initiate simple movements synced with breath, then dip into backbends, and explore heart salutations, mudra and meditation.

This practice offers you the opportunity to surrender through forward bends and full exhales. Receptive and clear, you will be able to completely receive what the winds of life want you to encounter next.

Through thoughtful movement, you will work to strengthen your vagus nerve - a big nerve that runs throughout your entire body. Toning this nerve is linked to experiencing more compassion, peace, and balance. Props: blanket and block
