Stacey Jackson-Flammia Boston
I strive to facilitate yoga practices that are welcoming and create a safe space for everyone. I am interested in the intention of each pose and exploring how each practitioner can work with this intention in their own unique body. I walk around the room so that I can see and work with everyone, and I try to talk as I move so that there are no surprises about where I am. I do not play music. I approach each shape with curiosity and ask questions. I prefer to offer props and support instead of hands-on assists.
My approach to Yin Yoga is to set up the physical body in a shape that is completely supported by props: to let go of muscular effort and experience a mild, moderate, and sustainable stress or sensation. I am constantly inspired by Yin Yoga’s ability to increase my experiences of interconnectedness, mindfulness, and bodyfulness. I appreciate its constant challenge to respond with compassion.
