Trial by fire – teaching (subbing) my first yoga class to the general public vs. solely my EDS Community. I survived. I taught Gentle Stretching Yoga at 6:30pm at The Mindfulness Center. Thankful for Jessie’s “flow” notes.

The day I decided to take my Hypermobile DPT after my PT appointment to Yoga and Alignment with James, and she left with crazy Dysautonomia symptoms like she’s never before. That’s what happens when you do a bridge and you have not done one in years! 😉

It’s hard to believe that our MIND-BODY STRATEGIES FOR HYPERMOBILITY AND CHRONIC PAIN program is almost over! Thank you to everyone who has registered and help support this important and fun initiative. A follow-up email including information shared in all 4 classes will be sent soon. Promise. For Real. Our 4th class – Vinyasa Flow for Hypermobility and Chronic Pain will be a full 50-60 min class. Our final class will blend Hatha Yoga mixed with Gentle Vinyasa Flow Yoga. We will remain mindful of proper positioning and alignment for hypermobility and chronic pain but will move at a bit quicker pace during this class. However, this will still be a restorative practice. All levels welcome! This series of 4 classes are being held at The Mindfulness Center in Bethesda, MD. Classes begin at 1:30 pm. Please allow extra time to park and get set-up so that we can be mindful of the use of the studio and those who need it after our scheduled class is over . Address for The Mindfulness Center: 4963 …

Thank you to Deborah Norris, Ph.D. and everyone at …
