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 breath of fresh air for your respiratory system. It teaches you to breathe deeply and fully, which can improve lung capacity and function. Plus, the focus on breath control can help reduce symptoms of conditions like asthma and COPD.
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.
Yoga is like a lullaby for your body. It can help improve your sleep quality by reducing stress, calming your mind, and promoting relaxation. Plus, it's a lot more fun than counting sheep all night.
Yoga helps with strength like a personal trainer, only without the weight machines and mirrors. It can help you build lean muscle mass, increase flexibility, and improve overall body composition. Plus, it's a lot more peaceful than a crowded gym.
If you have an injury, think of yourself as a master chef adapting a recipe. You can modify yoga poses by using props like blocks or straps, or simply by adjusting your alignment. And remember, it's better to be safe than sorry – no one wants to end up with a yoga-induced injury that puts them out of commission for weeks.
