Even in times of crisis movement, ease, and balance are innate to our bodies. In a time of wildfires, unchecked power, diminishing rights, and growing fear, how do we tap into the power of a river, the resistance of deep roots, the resources of what is underground?
We need yin force not only for our individual frayed and burned out nervous systems, for our own survival, but to meet dominant and destructive forces with deep and lasting resistance.
How do we take care and nourish ourselves in a time when we must take action because we can't afford not to?
This workshop will help you:
find rest that is not collapse
access the support innate to your body
access choice and change in your experience of being embodied
use what is innate to your body to find a path of both resistance and resource
This online session is led by Lyra Butler-Detman, an artist, somatic practitioner and Contemporary Alexander teacher. Join us to explore specific yin practices for our bodies, minds, and spirits that we can apply in our everyday lives. Lyra's work lives where somatics and justice overlap, centering functional anatomy, living systems, and the neurobiology of change. She partners with social change organizations as well as individuals to develop new ways of thinking, new levels of individual and community care, and alternatives to extractive and oppressive practices.
This session is moderated by Sonali Sangeeta Balajee and hosted by SSoMA’s House of Yin.
