White Flag Yoga

White Flag Yoga It's about Surrendering~ White Flag Recovery Yoga was born out of Kimberly's own quest for HOLISTIC Recovery and the deep desire to share that with others.

We hold meetings both online on ZOOM and in person weekly. We start with a discussion circle and then we have a breath and movement practice designed to move and release energy and stored tension and dysregulation in the body. Coming back to center over, and over, again in life, is like coming back to the mat, over and over and over. Keeps us honest and true, and on the right path....

Downward-Facing Dog—is almost deceptively simple. But as a morning posture, it does an extraordinary amount of work at once!

I think of it less as a “yoga pose” and more as a whole-body morning reset.

Why Downward Dog in the morning?

After hours of sleep, the body has been relatively still. Fascia is less hydrated and mobile, joints haven’t moved through much range, the posterior chain can feel shortened, and circulation is transitioning from rest into activity. Downward Dog asks the body to lengthen, load, breathe and orient all at once.

In Downward Dog we turn inward... and quirky ask...

What does my body actually feel like today?

You can pedal the feet. Bend one knee and then the other. Sway the hips. Soften the jaw. Let the head hang without collapsing into the shoulders.

***Notice where there is resistance without immediately trying to change it.

Become the witness of your own embodied experience.

Keep it simple

Hip Tip Friday !

Sensory Neuro aesthetics.. all that we see, feel, smell, touch, hear...

Beauty as medicine.
Environment as practice.
The art of inhabiting a life.

We don’t simply look at our surroundings.

Our bodies are in conversation with them.

Big T” and “little t”

trauma isn’t defined only by what happened—it’s also about what happened INSIDE the nervous system because of it.

Big T trauma generally refers to events that are clearly threatening, catastrophic, or overwhelming: violence, sexual assault, serious accidents, war, natural disasters, sudden loss, severe abuse, or witnessing something terrifying. These are experiences most people readily recognize as traumatic.

Little t trauma refers to experiences that may not appear catastrophic from the outside but can still overwhelm a person’s capacity to cope—especially when they are chronic, repeated, or happen during childhood.

Examples might include emotional neglect, persistent criticism, bullying, unpredictable caregiving, repeated rejection, divorce, humiliation, abandonment, chronic conflict, or continually feeling unsafe or unseen.

This is why I say we ALL have most likely experienced this and we hold it in our bodies!

The Manipura chakra (aka) Solar Plexus is the gateway!

In active addiction we stay down in the lower chakras. Attempting to rise we meet our friend RESISTANCE.

We use breath and movement in our daily practices to rise again and again and again.

Join us Wednesday September 16 at 7pm ET, 4pm PT for an intimate online conversation with Nikki Myers , Founder of Y12 .

Founded by Nikki Myers, Y12SR was born from Myers’s own experience with addiction, relapse, recovery and yoga. Her insight became the phrase that sits at the heart of the work:

“The issues live in our tissues.”

Today Y12 has over 2,100+ trained Peer Support Specialists, with Y12SR meetings operating in 14 countries. Its meetings combine a sharing circle with an intentional yoga practice, and they’re designed for people experiencing their own addictive behaviors and people affected by the addictive behaviors of others.

SAVE THE DATE SEPTEMBER 16 !!

This is a donation based event with all donations going to support the Y12 501 c3 🙏🏼

In this conversation we will hear from Nikki about her own experience, the ways trauma and protective patterns live in the body, and what eventually led her to create Y12SR.

We open.
We reach.
We meet resistance.
We bow.

Asana gives us a physical place to practice what life asks of us every day.

To stay present when there is intensity.
To breathe when the instinct is to brace.
To soften without collapsing.
To surrender without giving up.

Happy Monday Movement Medicine. 🤍

🤍🤍🤍on a personal note, Yoga and the movement medicine I practice and share is less about the shapes and more about the internal pharmacy that gets activated. Also, the spaciousness that is created in the body so that I can embody the body without feeling anxiety and trepidation to even start a new day... 🏳️

Happy Friday !

Hip Tip today is about self care.

Making our shower feel like a spa experience.

Tie a stem or two of eucalyptus branch around your shower head. You can use the elastic the stems will come with. Nothing fancy there:)

Tips!

Trader Joe’s ALWAYS has eucalyptus.

Inside shower I keep a large bottle of Jojoba oil.
