Movement: We’ll find ease and strength in the body through a series of gentle movements at a relaxed pace. This practice is suitable for a broad range of abilities and body types.

Meditation: Sitting in the quiet, returning to ease in the body and ease in the breathing. You are welcome to sit on the floor, in a chair, or lay down. There’s nothing to achieve or attain.

Sharing: At the end of practice, there is time to share reflections, feelings, and questions and hear what others have to share. It's ok to just listen, too.
