It is said that the longest journey one can make is from the head to the heart.

FISH POSE (Matsyasana) is a great ally on this journey.
It helps to quiet and calm the mind and activates the heart chakra.

If you find that you are often stuck in problem solving mode, that you overthink decisions, micromanage others, just basically live in your head most of the time, do this pose often. It will help you drop into your heart space.

Some tips:
-start with your feet on the ground knees bent and sit on your hands, palms down, forearms down. Then extend your legs on the floor.
-use a block (or two) under your head if your head can’t touch the floor.
-use a block under you shoulder blades for support if it’s too intense
-only raise your legs if your lower back is OK
-if all is going well, try raising the arms. Play with different mudras!

In so many ways there is a part of me that can only be expressed through movement.

Where words fall short
and only the shapes, lines and composition
of my body can define it.

It is here in my body that I get sourced in the ultimate creative life force that urges me to shift, to risk, and to grow.

Today in my practice I worked on a lot of variations of the splits. And i discovered a cool way to add a deep lateral opening. If you’re going to try this, keep in mind I was a full 45 minutes in before attempting this.

Poses to warm up might include:
DDog
Ardha Hanumanasana
Reverse Warrior/ Triangle/Side angle/Pyramid
Twists!
Shoulder openers (gomukasana arms/dolphin)
Hip openers

Happy Summer Solstice Friends!

I’m currently on the the island of Oahu and will be teaching Live on Zoom every Monday and Thursday.:
Mondays, 4-5:15 pm EST
Thursdays, 5:30-6:30 pm EST

Summer is the Season of Fire Element and with this can come a surge of Joy. While the energy of joy can be deeply nourishing and inspiring, it can also be highly volatile and destabilizing. There’s quite a difference between a wildfire and a warm bonfire at the beach!

So the flavor of Joy is what’s nuanced and crucial. Joy that is grounded and connected vs. joy that is excitable and frenetic. Have you ever felt so much excitability that you also experienced a sense of being scattered? Or the feeling of sadness that can come after such an intense “high” of elation waves?

The classes I’ll be teaching over the summer months will lean heavily into Earth and Water elements so that our fire, our joy is balanced with presence and connectivity. As always, its a dance of Balance!

Come flow with me island style. We will bring in all the elements in a sustainable way, a steady stream of joy without the rollercoaster ride!

Go to my website at kimgroark.com to sign up. OR contact me here for the zoom link and info. If you are unable to attend LIVE, no worries, a class recording will be provided to you within 24 hours!

All classes will be Slow Flow Vinyasa with dedicated time for meditation and stillness. Come as you are and be supported to move in a rhythm that will support you and challenge you, without creating stress on your nervous system.This introspective practice offers space to turn inward and nurture your calm quiet center. A curated playlist will provide music to breathe and move to, amplifying your experience on the mat. All levels welcome. What to bring: a yoga mat. Any props you like to use during the practice are welcome: blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters.

When you consider the life you long to live, how does it feel? Start in your heart. It’s not a mind thing. Feeling is where to attune to. I used to write notes and journal to manifest the circumstances I wished to see. And while these practices are starting points, we gain traction and momentum the moment we align with how we want life to feel. It’s a vibration. And we practice it with ferocity. On the days you don’t feel it, tap into a time you did feel it. What did your heart feel like? Spirit? What were you doing? Who were you with? Where were you? Take yourself there. And allow yourself to steep in that feeling.

Where we place our attention is actively shaping our experience. It puts the energy in motion. E=motion. We can choose to focus on what we don’t want, the things that impede the life we wish to live or we can choose to actively but lightly focus on the things that are already aligned and feeling good and then let that expand. What is here now? What blessings, what people, what circumstances ARE in alignment? When we do this, the feeling of vibrancy and gratitude expands. And this is the space where dreams come true. Where miracles happen.

Pause. Listen. Then sense the next step. Don’t think about the next step-instead feel into it. I know if I start to project far into the future in my mind, my mind gets anxious, fearful and restless. This is not a space conducive to knowing the next step forward. But you know what is? Breathing and being present. Seeing the good that is already here. Placing my body my spirit my mind in the highest vibration by DOING things that feel good and aligned with living my best life. When I do that I can actually sense the next step to take.
