At the autumn equinox, balance shifts from light to dark, leaf to root, outer to inner. Agriculturally, we gather in the fruits of the earth and take stock of the year’s labor: did crops grow plentiful, animals fat? Creatively, too, this can be a time of harvest and reflection. Who or what actively supports your creative life—spirit, the ancestors, living helpers, your own body-mind? What aspects of your creativity are you wanting to nourish, or share? In this class, we will give thanks for gifts bestowed and set intentions for the restorative season we are entering. The class is structured around alternate sessions of gentle movement, creative focusing, and prompt-based writing. Accessible movement practices are designed to nourish the body. Meditative practice will hold a space for you to connect with your creative source. Writing practice will emphasize open exploration and generation of new material.

Lindsey Kolb began practicing yoga more than 15 years ago when she was searching for a way to have a healthier connection to her body and mind. As a practitioner and an instructor, Lindsey blends several styles of yoga including Yin, Restorative, Gentle flow, Qigong, and alignment-based Hatha. In addition to mindful movement, she shares tools for settling the nervous system through breathing, which she believes unifies body and mind to alter an individual’s energy. Lindsey has experience working with practitioners facing challenges due to chronic pain and cancer, and she believes in making yoga an accessible and enriching experience for people across a broad range of ages and levels. http://www.lindseykolbyoga.com/
