Yoga with Rose
Yoga and Meditation Instructor
"Yoga is about rooting yourself into the present moment. This is achieved by diving into the sensations present in the body. Every movement, every pose, every breath is an opportunity to enter into spontaneous meditation."
~ Rose Kress
Welcome to my humble web site!
Things have moved around a bit...my current classes and upcoming events are listed on the Teaching Schedule Page. I have also created a practice archives page, as I add practices, the previous ones can be found here.
Practice for Fall
Fall brings on dry air, cool and windy weather. Often we can feel ungrounded and disconnected. Not to mention the anxiety producing holiday season. There are many practices that we can use to nurture ourselves.
When you get home from work, try resting on the floor for 5 or 10 minutes. It is a good way to let go of your day and take a few minutes for yourself. You might try placing a cushion under your head, placing a cushion under your kneews, lighting a candle and putting on some soothing music. Feel the sensations of the earth beneath you. Begin taking deep breaths and feel the movement of the breath in your back as it meets the earth. With each exhale, allow yourself to let go of all tension. Let each inhale be a refreshing gift. At the end of 10 minutes, gently roll to one side and hold yourself in fetal position. Take a moment to acknowlegde yourself for all that you do. Keeping the eyes closed, sit up, take three deep breaths, thank yourself for this gift of time and nuturing, and chant the tone Om.
