Guaranteed to fly by, this 2 1/2 hour class offers a unique opportunity for a full reset of your body, mind, and nervous system. We'll explore a sweet rhythm of yoga postures and practices that oscillate between periods of active movement and restorative shapes, all infused with pacifying breath. The Honey Flow practice is designed specifically to help you repattern your nervous system and make it easier to relax. By the end, you’ll step off the mat refreshed and ready for a peaceful evening and a good night's sleep.

Much of our health and overall wellbeing is based on our capacity to experience and respond to the stressors in everyday living and, then, recalibrate and return to a relatively relaxed state of being. However, our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) adapts to how we live and the typical levels of stress in our lives. This means that when we experience a high degree of stress for an extended period of time, our ANS normalizes the activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight, flight, freeze, or faun), creating a hypervigilance that makes relaxation challenging. To shift the ANS back to a healthy rhythm, we need to consciously repattern it. By moving back and forth between active physical practices and restorative, easeful postures, we are consciously stimulating the nervous system and taking a step toward retraining ourselves to be able to relax when it's time to relax.

This class is most appropriate for students who are comfortable in a Yoga Level 1-2 class or above.

This is a donation-based event with a suggested donation amount of $25-$100. Your donation will support scholarships and community outreach classes through Circle Yoga Connects.

Kellie Finn

Kellie Finn is immensely grateful for her New England upbringing, family, friends, sunshine, good jokes, moon gazing, night walks, ocean breezes, lingering hugs, fresh vegetables, road trips, adjectives, and an ever growing boot collection. She has been studying yoga since a volunteer summer at Omega in 1991, and teaching classes/working privately as a Yoga Therapist since September 2001, after two years of volunteer service and study at Kripalu Institute. She is a recent transplant to the DC area where she serves as a Clinic Supervisor at Maryland University of Integrative Health's Yoga Therapy Program, writes, and continues her private practice exploring how the practices and philosophy of yoga can heal trauma and guide individuals into a life of communal empowerment.

Kellie's alignment based classes are infused with humor, philosophy, poetry, self-inquiry, ethical explorations, education, and tools for carrying the practices of yoga off the mat. She teaches postures in layers with consistent encouragement to listen to the brilliance of one's own body / being. She believes that the practices of yoga offer us the opportunity to connect to the Grace within ourselves such that we can move as far as possible beyond our own being to cultivate connection in the world without losing recognition of Grace. She looks forward to seeing you on the mat!
