"Tonie is an incredible teacher; her classes - which I've been taking for a while now - are a perfect blend of physical exertion and inward reflection. Her genuine care for her students and her gratitude for sharing her practice come through in every class. I look forward to practicing with her every week!" - Jess Roberts

Forward bending asana has an effect of calming the mind and the body. Energetically it has a cooling quality as well. Forward bending poses can sometimes be intimidating, but there are a myriad of ways of practicing that don't require being a gymnast to give that effect. 

Join Jocelyn in a forward bending asana practice, where we’ll begin with a warm up and modified surya namaskar. We’ll move and hold poses - we’ll definitely use props.

Recommended props: 2 blocks, a strap, scarf or belt, 1-2 blankets, bolster or a pillow

As the weather warms, what seeds am I planting for As the weather warms, what seeds am I planting for future growth? What do I wish to harvest?
🌱
Beginning last fall, my intensive somatic studies started up again after a two-year pandemic hiatus. While I’m thrilled to be back in the Body-Mind Centering classroom, learning in a way that deeply serves me so that I may better serve my students and clients, I’m noticing that I’m in an interesting and somewhat uncomfortable place in my teaching. Somatics have long been a compliment to my yoga practice, an inroad for balancing the outer forms of yoga āsana, prāṇāyāma, chanting, and seated meditation with granular tools for valuing and investigating the inner transformative experiences of these practices. And sometimes, I feel itchy to be further along than where I am, impatient to know what my teaching will look like and how it will transform as I become a practicing Somatic Movement Educator. I’m almost there, but I’m not there yet. 
🌱
So I am cultivating seeds of patience. The patience to be where I am now, in sometimes uncomfortable inquiry, without rushing into where I will be, in five or ten or fifteen years. I am sowing the seeds of my best teaching, and they may not fully blossom for a long time, because learning to become my most skilled and sensitive teaching self is a process, the fruit of the conversation among my students and me and my own practice now. And even when these seeds do blossom, as both yoga philosophy and somatics have taught me, is there really anywhere to get to anyway? What does it matter if I’m only looking ahead and not invested in the present moment? 
🌱
Join Bex for Ecstatic Chill, a slow flow, yin, and restorative practice which takes place on Sunday evenings on or around the new moon.  Only on the Connective platform.

Rebalance - not your typical Pilates class
Saturday, April 23
11am-12pm EST
48-hour replay available if you can’t attend live

Hustle culture must die. For some, the beliefs of late-stage capitalism permeate many aspects of our lives–even the way we take care of our bodies (or don’t). Embrace rest. Embrace softness. This is not your typical Pilates Mat class. In order to counterbalance vigorous activity, recovery is crucial. Move your body and explore sensations by utilizing pre-Pilates, some contemporary Pilates, and myofascial release techniques. 

This free community class is appropriate for all levels and will focus on the lower body and feet–areas of the body vital for balance. Props are strongly recommended.

Recommended props: 
* a pair of Franklin Balls (or soft density balls)
* Soft foam roller
* Light resistance band
* Yoga blocks
