  • Rest and Digest

    Led by Turi Hetherington

    This is a short practice of sensing the body as a way of activating the relaxation response. Tension can build up in the body without us even noticing. As we bring kind, gentle attention to the body and breath, tension may naturally dissolve and reveal a sense of underlying ease and well-being.

    As a yoga instructor and holistic health coach, Turi (she/her) helps individuals develop strength, flexibility, and balance in body and mind. She is especially drawn to the quieting practices of gentle yoga and meditation to reduce stress and tension in the body, find the quiet place behind the busy thinking mind, and calm and soothe the nervous system. She enjoys integrating the ancient practices with modern-day science to help individuals on their healing journey connect with their essential nature of wholeness, peace, and ease. 

    Turi is a LYB-certified instructor and serves on the board of her local Concussion Resource Center. Her other trainings and certifications include E-RYT200, RYT500 and YACEP, Heart of Sound: Mantra and Nada Yoga certified, iRest® Yoga Nidra Level 2 Teacher, and Holistic Health Coach.

  • Inner Beauty

    Led by Turi Hetherington

    This practice invites you to take a break from the tension and striving of daily life to fully rest your body and mind, and reveal your inner beauty. 

    Inner Beauty by Deborah Anne Quibell (poem shared in this practice)

    Your imperfection

    makes you real.

    there is little beauty

    that extends beyond

    a wise and weathered heart, 

    a heart that chooses to feel 

    in order to honor all that it has lost,

    a heart that continues to tick

    in order to revere the tragedies it has overcome

    a heart that bows

    before the mysteries that melt us

    and has learned the ancient alchemy 

    of transforming pain

    into power and purpose.
