THE PAUSING
Sunday, March 15th, 11am-12:30pm
w/ Donnell Oakley
Movement to improve and support the experience of hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause.
Pausing class is scored from: Pilates and other weight bearing/resistance training methods, breath practices, nervous system work and reframing how we think about these stages of aging and our bodies. No one is required to have any experience in any of these realms. There's that great idea in Zen Buddhism of a beginner's mind, where we can stay open and eager to do a lot more without the barrier of preconceptions. We will move, breathe and find our awareness in a way that slows down the habitual rush in our physiology. There’s a lot of information wrapped up in these ideas of movement, breath and the nervous system. My desire is to arrange them in a cohesive way physically while understanding the whys of them. We know these stages are ambiguous in terms of ages and timelines and this is a great place to start.
