Not Your Typical Thanksgiving Day Class

All are welcome to this vinyasa flow-style donation class where we will share respect for the land and those to whom it was originally claimed. Rather than focusing on a cliche of gratitude, we turn to our history to acknowledge the past and move with respect and honor in the future. We cannot change the past but we can work to learn, to understand, find empathy and restructure the future.

This class offers space for self-reflection so that we may consider our part within history, the present, and the future. How do we offer space to humbly honor, reocognize, and hold sorrow for the doings of the past?  How do we hold space in the present moment? How can we create action through word and deed to make amends in the future?

What to Expect

Class will begin a meaningful sequence of poses that hold metaphor for to our responsibility of recognition of the past and stewardship for the future. Together we will hold space, breath and support each other in our reflection of privilege. We’ll move into deeper, longer held postures that position us for healing and acceptance. A meditation will be offered on the history of the day and the impact of both our actions and inactions. Finally, we end with a long and supported savasana – a safe space to feel and rest.

Join us for The Honoring as we come together for collective healing and reflection.

Donations will be suggested to Not Our Native Daughters.

All levels welcome. We encourage you to bring your friends and family to this community event. This class will be approachable to beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
