The feeling paradox is the more we try to resist a feeling the longer the feeling lasts and when you allow a feeling you get to move through it quicker. How the heck do you do that? Especially when a feeling is uncomfortable and maybe even triggering. The practice of RAIN is a mindfulness and self compassion based practice to help you sit with uncomfortable feelings and be.
RAIN is an acronym for
Recognize
Allow
Investigate with Kindness
Nurture with Compassion
Here's what our time will look like together...
In this 75 minute practice Angela will guide you through 15 minutes of education on RAIN, 10 minutes of grounding breathwork, 30 minutes of guided meditation, and closing with journaling prompts reflection. For this workshop you will be asked to identify a mildly uncomfortable emotion with an experience that was not intense so to work on.
This practice will also be trauma informed which means no hand adjustments instead using sandbags and other supportive props to find a different physical experience in the class. Angela is also an eating disorder informed teacher so this class will use language and awareness to manage body triggers.
This class will be taught in small group format (4 students max in studio) in person and live streamed via google meet and the instructor will be the only one recorded and the playback will be emailed out to you for unlimited access.
This is a non refundable event. If you cancel you will not be refunded.

It is my belief that yoga can act as a bridge to connecting the mind and body which can be a powerful tool in emotional, mental, and physical health. The experience that happens on the mat can be seen as an extension of therapy.
My classes and sessions are inclusive, trauma informed, embodied, and recovery focused.

As a trauma informed therapeutic yoga teacher I see the strength in empowering a person to find what feels supportive to them. To foster their choice and experience by holding space for their curiosity and exploration vs. judgement.
I believe that this experience can begin to translate off the mat and be integral to someone's journey and recovery.
