Yoga w/ Raven - Letting Go of Anger & Finding Inner Peace - Yin Yoga ( Morning Practice) Wk.1

Anger is a natural emotion, often signaling that our boundaries have been crossed or that something within us needs attention. However, when held onto or expressed without awareness, it can become a harmful force-distancing us from others, clouding our judgment, and perpetuating cycles of hurt.
This February, both in yoga classes and the Dharma Healing offering, we’ll explore the second Reiki principle: “Just for today, I will not be angry.” This principle reminds us that anger, while valid, is not our essence. It invites us to respond, rather than react, to life’s challenges with compassion and understanding.
In yoga classes, we will focus on releasing anger and fostering peace within the body and mind. Each week will build upon the following themes:
1. Grounding Through the Fire: Using grounding postures and breathwork to stabilize intense emotions and create space for reflection.
2. Releasing Tension: Focusing on the hips and shoulders, where anger often resides, through gentle yin poses and mindful movement.
3. Transforming Energy: Exploring practices like twisting postures and dynamic flow to transmute anger into empowerment.
4. Cultivating Compassion: Heart-opening poses and meditation to replace anger with understanding and love.

February: "Just for Today, I Will Not Be Angry"
The practice will explore anger as a natural response, helping us understand its deeper messages and transform it into an opportunity for self-awareness and authentic expression. Through compassion-for ourselves and others-we can break cycles of reactivity, respond skillfully to life’s challenges, and create space for inner peace.
This month’s journey is about softening the grip of anger, learning from it, and turning it into a source of empowerment and connection.
Focus: Releasing tension and exploring mindful movement to process and transform emotions.
Affirmation: “I release anger with compassion. I am at peace in the present moment.”
Our Monthly Practices:
Weekly yoga classes centered around grounding and release.
A guided practice or journaling prompt inspired by the Reiki principle of the month.

These practices are more than just movement-they are an invitation to connect deeply with yourself, honor your journey, and step into each day with peace and intention. Each month’s theme will build on the last, creating a supportive foundation for growth throughout the year.
The Reiki principles, rooted in mindfulness and compassion, offer a foundation for living with intention and peace. These five guiding principles inspire us to let go of worry, embrace gratitude, and cultivate kindness and authenticity in our daily lives.
By aligning these principles with yoga themes, we create a cohesive practice that bridges movement, mindfulness, and spiritual growth. This integration invites practitioners to deepen their connection with themselves, fostering balance and harmony throughout the year.
