Zoom Yoga Therapy for Optimal Mobility

Service Description

Explore how a compassionate community, mindful movement of accessible Hatha yoga (pose by pose), breathing exercises, guided meditation, and more can help ease the stress and discomfort of living with chronic, persistent, or progressive conditions. No matter how you show up, you will be met where you are and safely guided towards practices that holistically promote strength, balance, and resiliency in the physical body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Each live group session is limited to only 10 participants to enable greater personalization and therapeutic benefit. The class is accessible to all levels and abilities with many opportunities to tune in and choose the forms that suit you in the moment. This creates a unique yet familiar experience each time. Variations and occasionally completely different postures or breathing practices will be offered for you to choose from while being encouraged to explore the impacts upon your body, mind, and spirit. The movements will include a combination of seated and standing forms. Seated movement can be done in a sturdy (no wheels, please) chair or seated on a mat and standing forms can be done using the sturdy chair or a wall for support or even lying down on a mat. All are welcome in this trauma-informed, body-neutral space regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, mobility, size, experience, religion, socioeconomic class, etc. If you feel you would benefit from this service but truly cannot afford it, please reach out. There may be funds available to offset some of the costs for those in need. If you have special requests or need accommodations or modifications you do not wish to share with the group, you are encouraged to DM Kristi in the Zoom chat to let her know. There are 2 in-person slots available for this session on a first-to-sign-up basis. Sign up as usual and then send an e-mail to optimal wellness yoga AT gmail dot com with no spaces requesting to be in-person and you will receive the address and instructions. We are located in Springfield, VA about 1 mile from the Saratoga Park & Ride, the intersection of Rolling Rd. and Fullerton, and Lorton Station.
