by Octavia F. Raheem

Description
"Change in our lives-whether it be welcome, joyful, challenging, or more subtle-presents us with the opportunity to pause and gather our energy to work with whatever lies ahead. Drawing wisdom from yoga philosophy and her many years of teaching experience, Octavia Raheem offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all types of change. Raheem gives us three simple restorative yoga poses (savasana, side lying pose, and child's pose), and offers short show more teachings, reflections, and practices to see us through times of ending, beginning, and liminal/transitional space. She shows us how slowing down, stillness, and deeper connection to our own transitions empower us to move through collective shifts with more grace-and what it means to navigate shifts and change with presence and courage. Each section includes fifteen short chapters that encourage us to rest, evoke memory, journal, pray, practice, and inquire about what we believe is possible for the future. In doing so, we are invited to come home to right now with a renewed sense of connection across space, time, and our human collective"-- show lessTags
