Who do you love?
Yoga is for Lovers is an online, community yoga challenge created to help cultivate LOVE in our hearts, minds, and neighborhoods.
This 15 day event will include featured yoga postures, guided meditations, journal prompts, and personal tasks, as well as featured charities and community events all focusing on – you guessed it, LOVE!
By emphasizing heart-opening yoga postures and heart chakra work, we will begin to remind ourselves of all the different kinds of love we have to offer this wide world – personally, to our friends and families, our partners, our communities, to complete strangers, and globally!
If you’ve been to even just a few yoga classes, you’ve probably heard the term “heart opener”. This term is often used to describe back-bending, chest-opening postures, but it actually digs so much deeper than that. Heart opening in yoga can happen through posture, breath, or meditation – and affects not just the physical structure of the chest (layers of tissue, bone and muscle) where the heart resides, but the energetic and emotional capacity (love, compassion, acceptance, gratitude, to name a few) of ourselves as well.
With Yoga is for Lovers and the MBY community, we will spend these 2 weeks working together to honor love in all it’s forms and finish feeling open, confident, and joyous in our daily lives!
“The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around … Throughout history, “tender loving care” has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing.”
– Larry Dossey
Each day will consist of a Yoga Posture (Asana), Guided Meditation, or Journal Prompt to participate in and I highly encourage you to share a photo or video with our online community either on Facebook or Instagram each day using the hashtag #YogaIsForLovers2019 because I’ve got some sweet prizes up my sleeve for anyone who posts to Facebook or Instagram for each day of the challenge!
To help foster love and embrace to those who need it most, the challenge will also include support for featured charities and non-profit organizations that support victims of sexual trauma and domestic abuse. I would love it if you would consider offering a small donation of time, energy, or money to help continue the work of these incredible organizations so that each and everyone of us can feel the power of real and authentic love.
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”
