IN-PERSON: Sustainable Practice

Saturday, April 1 • 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Lakewood Seward Park Community Clubhouse, 4916 S. Angeline Street
Emily Parzybok
Emily is a yoga and meditation teacher focused on practices that build awareness and relax the nervous system. Emily teaches both active and restorative styles of yoga; in both practices, she brings an approach focused on listening and attending to the sensations in the body and the thoughts in the mind. Emily hopes to cultivate, for herself and for her students, an environment where the body is not a site of criticism or improvement, but rather of experience and listening. Emily has taught yoga for nearly a decade and has had the opportunity to train with many incredible teachers. A student of Sarah and Ty Powers, Emily is working toward her 500-hour training through the Insight Yoga Institute. In the yoga community, Emily has studied with Sarah and Ty Powers, Paul and Suzzee Grilley, Tias Little, and many others. She teaches vinyasa, hatha, restorative, yin and yoga nidra. Additionally, Emily has studied Buddhist meditation in the United States and Asia, has sat hundreds of days of silent retreat, including month-long intensives, and currently studies with Tempel Smith.

Sustainable Practice classes focus on how to work with our yoga practice so that it can be sustainable over time. We practice different options of yoga poses, listening to our bodies so that we can practice variations to best suit our unique beings for optimal benefits from our practice over the long-haul.

On an experiential level, the class is taught from the perspective of the importance of the nervous system in healthy movement; class feels gentle while also supporting our stability and our body-mind integration. We start with extended slow and mindful movement and breath to prime our awareness and mindfulness and build skills that we can take forward into the rest of class and into our everyday life. Class also includes accessible stability work and strength-building, restorative postures and, of course, an ending rest (savasana) to integrate our experiences.

All bodies are welcome.
