Join me on Wednesdays for Yoga Nidra 7:45 PM 3925 Piedmont Ave • Oakland @flexcircuitgym .

Yoga Nidra, is a technique that enhances awareness of sensations in the muscular, connective, and nerve tissues. This is achieved by breathing into these areas and sending signals for relaxation.
Many of you ask, is it a pose? Affirmations? Mind-body therapy?
Yoga Nidra can be all of these things, and more–in essence, it’s a highly effective meditation technique that’s been inspiring growth for thousands of years.

You can feel energy flowing up and down the chakras–it’s even possible, with ongoing practice, to dissolve sensations from the body altogether.

The easiest way to begin is to have a yoga teacher walk you through the steps or follow an audio version of a guided meditation. You csn choose music in the background or quiet; deep or soothing vocals; the benefits have been proven to help with sleep, tension relief, focusing, intention, and more… taken in FLEX by @yogamina_sf

A full house in Yin Yoga this evening, The room was heavy, long sighs, just waiting to exhale. I believe in body work where needed, but tonight each yogi needed it. We all come onto the mat with our habits, physical patterns, and emotional traumas. Life has happened to us, and that’s beautiful. But it also brings a lot of misalignment, and sometimes it brings pain.”
This post election stress is not just about politics—it is about the toll that ongoing stress, disappointment, and uncertainty takes on our minds, bodies, and souls.
As an empath, I feel every sense of energy. pain & joy. It comes so easy for me, to absorb it, to give, to care & to heal, but very difficult to see one suffering in pain. A yogi apologized for weeping, said the pose brought her into releasing toxic stress from the election. In my class, don’t apologize, just grieve & breathe it out. Let’s clear and clean the energy imbalance created what the elections left us with.
Some people approach their yoga practice as a break from the world, a separate space where they can recover from life’s stresses and strains. Once they’ve pulled themselves back together, they return to their families and jobs renewed. The same goes for post election. When you can, honor the range of emotions arising and learn ways to allow and honor the valid and real feelings, release what no longer serves you, send it back to the universe.
So I’d say now is the time to fully feel the tension, grief, anger… anything that’s clouding a vision. Give it enough time to be felt. Then, let’s get to work on taking care of the things that we’re afraid won’t be taken care of by someone else. Let’s work more directly for what’s important to us. It feels magical to hear that my class gives a zen place & a safe space.
These times are why we have mindful practices. Yin Yoga w/ Amina Sundays 5-6pm. 3925 piedmont ave • Oakland #yogamina #yinyoga #restorativeyoga by @yogamina_sf

1 year ago you took your last breath holding my son’s hand, everything has changed since that day. My heart breaks at the idea that you are no longer roaming this earth & living this journey w/ me. The most comforting moments are when lights flicker & an aroma of roses fill the room, I know you are here. You taught me how to be humble & resilient before I could fully understand. You showed me how to persevere the hardships & darkest moments don’t last long. How showing up to be accountable was far better than having excuses. When raising up a child to do better than what you were raised to be. There is no greater love than unconditional love you have left for my son. And every time I dealt w/ a disappointment you would tell me life is full of adversity & struggle, embracing it will only lead you to taking larger leaps in your journey & to push thru it. Then tell me “my goodness Mina stop crying, wipe your face!” I honor you every day #oumi #matriarch by @yogamina_sf

Restorative Yoga is all about supporting your body, allowing it to relax and heal.
Come surrender in a slow, deep, and meditative practice. To unwind the body, we will linger in yin and restorative poses while flowing through gentle movement sequences in between to release and let go. Riding the wave of breath, the nervous system will unwind and you'll leave feeling spacious in body and mind. This mindful class is open to all levels of experience and modifications will be offered. by @yogamina_sf

Join me for a new class coming up this fall. Your first class is FREE, sign up online www.flexcircuitgym.com or at the front desk The essence of Yin yoga is surrender. It focuses on postures that lengthen the muscles surrounding the hips, pelvis, and lower back. Students typically hold these postures for 3-10 minutes per side in order to lengthen the connective tissue that surrounds the joints and increase its elasticity. Since a Yin yoga practice often includes several long, seated forward bending postures, it also restores energy and calms the nervous system. You’ll be supported with bolsters, sandbags and blankets. See you on the mat! #yogaoakland #yogamina #yogayin taken in FLEX by @yogamina_sf
