Morning Routine
grounding and energizing
Sunday, May 3rd | 11:00am ET | Donation-based | via Zoom
About this session
In this 75-minute, Sunday morning session, we move through my slightly abbreviated, but deeply nourishing and activating morning routine.
This Sanctuary will focus on breath patterns and somatic practices to release overwhelm and reconnect with our confidence, conviction, power, presence, and openness.
Whether your are curious or inspired to pursue some of the practices we walk through on a daily basis, to connect with some of the teachers we feature, or to use this routine going forward or in the meantime as you craft your own.
Fascia Maneuvers. QiGong. Pilates. Meditation. Scalp Massage. Lymphatic Da
This Sanctuary is a donation-based session. You’ll receive a link after you register to make a donation, if you would like to and are able to.
What to expect?
This series of practices are designed to move from slow and self-connecting, to energizing, to grounding again, to uplifting, then nourishing, and rooting you for the day ahead. We’ll practice:
a stress-releasing fascia maneuver series created by Ikue
a rejuvenating QiGong flow designed by LuChin
a couple of core stabilizing pilates moves from Renee
a grounding meditation and breath-practice from yours truly, Ash
a tension-releasing Ayurvedic scalp massage arranged by Sushmita
a Gua Sha (or hand) massage to drain the face, neck and shoulders choreographed by Tina
and, we’ll close with an invitation to journal (or you can continue on with your day).
About the practices:
The teachers (Ikue, LuChin, Renee, Sushmita, and Tina) all provide incredible, free resources on YouTube. We’ll bring small pieces of their teachings into the Sanctuary session, and I hope you feel nourished enough by the session to explore their full videos as part of your morning routine.
You’ll receive a playlist link with the full videos from each teacher. So, you can press play in the morning, and the lessons will flow – in order – automatically. Everything from Ikue’s Facial Coffee to LuChin’s Spring Rejuvenation QiGong. I hope you enjoy!
