How we see others has more to do with ourselves than them.
We can explore our projections to learn about ourselves and even use projections in a connecting way.
Authentic Relating (AR) is the practice of freely expressing your authentic experience in the company of others.
Expressing in this way enables you to create connections in the world based on who you really are.
Authentic Relating practices create a safe, intentional space - rooted in play and supported by clear boundaries - to create meaningful and enjoyable connections to self and others. By learning Authentic Relating skills, you can drop your conditioned relational habits, and learn to relate with yourself and others from a deeper more authentic expression of your truth.
You'll be led through exercises designed to help you heal your relationship with yourself, and learn to be comfortable in your own skin—then connect with others as your newfound 'authentic' self. Put simply, this is a place to practice being human.
This is an opportunity to:
Expand your friend circle
Learn something about yourself
Explore the human experience
Have the courage to reveal something about yourself
Have the compassion to hold space for another as they reveal themselves
Feel and express JOY
Yoga is like a full-course meal, while stretching is like a quick snack. Yoga incorporates breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, while stretching is more focused on the physical aspect of flexibility and range of motion.
The etiquette for a yoga class is pretty simple - just be respectful of your fellow yogis, don't hog the space, and try not to fart during savasana. Oh, and remember to turn off your phone - nobody wants to hear your latest TikTok during their downward dog.
Yoga helps with vitality like a shot of espresso, only without the jitters and crash. It can help improve circulation, boost energy levels, and reduce fatigue. Plus, it's a lot more relaxing than chugging caffeine.
The breath is like the DJ of your yoga practice - it sets the rhythm and keeps everything flowing smoothly. It helps you stay focused, calm, and connected to your body as you move through the poses.
Expect to feel like a human pretzel at times, but don't worry, you'll eventually become a master of the art of twisting and bending. You'll also likely experience a sense of calm and relaxation, and possibly even a newfound appreciation for your body and its capabilities.
