For the most part, any form of significant and positive change is often accompanied by hard work and physical challenges. As women continue to embrace their power, the phase of life ushered in by menopause is no longer considered an ending, rather it is the beginning of a the phase of life where we are equipped with amazing life experience and self knowledge, free of all of the expectations and limitations placed on us as adolescents and during the reproductive years. With a job well done, we are now free to be the example and embrace the noble role of crone. This series is intended to ground and bring physical comfort to the practitioner preparing them to use this phase of life to inspire and break down the walls of conventional thinking. This instructional series includes centering breath work, Goddess Pose, Cat/Cow, Legs up the Wall, Sun Salutations, Twists, Deer Pose, and time for rest and meditation. -NYV0117A

This is a Power-Down routine for those who are looking for new ways to manage stress, those who hate taking breaks, those who feel like they don’t have the time, or for those who find meditation intimidating to jump into all at once. I personally err on the side of being a workaholic, and have lived by the motto IF I DON’T DO IT NOBODY WILL as long as I can remember. I notice this to be a very common trend among IBPOC women/nonbinary people.
My introduction to constructive rest was in a dance class in high school; it was so foreign to my body to relax that it came as a real shock and I experienced adverse effects the first few times. This is something I have also witnessed in people who are new to meditation- a flood of emotions that can manifest as uncontrollable laughter, crying, etc.
I wanted to make a less intimidating introduction to constructive rest that one can do at home or even at the work desk, provided you can set aside 5 uninterrupted minutes. I will talk us through and time 5 minutes, with gentle suggestions for our bodies to relax starting from feet up.
We will also go over some suggestions of how to “power back up”, thanks to questions from the student! This can be a great way for us who have difficulty sleeping to “power down” enough for sleep.
May not be suitable for those that have chronic physical pain, as I have heard from friends that deal with chronic pain that it generally can result in adverse effects to focus too deeply on the body in meditation. -NYV0123C
