key topics:

Helping students arrive and settle

The experience of quieting the mind and discomfort

Reconnecting with the self beyond mental noise

Practical teaching shifts: from doing to feeling, external to internal feedback, shape to response

Using balance poses to foster awareness and self-connection

takeaways:

Reconnection is about feeling what's true within, not fixing or becoming better.

Creating space and conditions allows students to meet themselves without noise.

Balance poses teach listening, adjusting, and responding to the body's feedback.

Teachers should focus on facilitating self-awareness rather than creating experiences.

Quiet moments can evoke discomfort, which is part of the process of self-awareness.

Thank you for listening, for practicing, and for choosing (again and again) to show up with care.
