Welcome time to slow down, reflect, and honor the magic of the inner world. We will explore embodying and contemplative practices through yin yoga and guided meditations. In this series, each class will be geared towards the elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether in relationship to our bodies, with breathing techniques, acupressure points, yoga postures, and guided meditations.</p><p>Yin yoga is a wonderful complement to the more active, solar yang style of yoga with slower, longer held poses that target the connective tissue in our bodies: ligaments, tendons, and fascia. This allows your body space for a deeper release by holding postures longer (for 3-5 minutes). Supports and props are offered if needed. This gives time for the muscles to relax, allowing the body to go to the deeper tissues. This class combines breathing exercises and Yin to explore the edges of your practice on and off your mat. This class is suitable for all levels and no prior yoga experience is required.</p><p>Sonya Verma MHSA, MBI is the founder of Inner Radiant Life, a yoga and meditation facilitator, Ayurvedic WellnessCounselor, and Reiki Master Practitioner with a passion for discovering the intersection of creative expression and healing in a community-based setting. Honoring her Eastern Indian heritage and Western upbringing she brings a unique approach to her work that is heart-centered, compassionate, and empowering. She weaves her training from different modalities of somatic healing from various yoga traditions and trauma research with a centralized focus on embodiment practices. Practice is not evaluated by aesthetic alignment in yoga poses but a deeper connection to the, often ignored, more subtle parts of oneself. Through present awareness, humor, and trust, she believes we can develop a more loving and accepting relationship with ourselves where true healing lies.</p><p>Sonya facilitates retreats, leading groups of adults and children through meditation, yoga, and sound. She has projects in underserved communities and with Bhutanese Refugees in the region by leading yoga and mindfulness-based practices. Through her gift of holding space and creating a safe and nurturing environment, she encourages people to explore, grow, and have a deeper connection to themselves and others. Her training includes certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Wellness Counselor with the Shakti School of Ayurveda, 500HR RYT Yoga Facilitator, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) facilitator, True Body Project Leader, and HealthRHYTHMS Facilitator.</p><h3>Your Zoom link will be sent with your registration confirmation.
