(Public version - no links) NAPD - We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For: Virtu

I have been a criminal defense lawyer for over 25 years. Like many of you, I pour myself into my work as a defender. In 2006, I moved from Massachusetts to Seattle, WA to begin a new job with the Seattle public defenders. It was a challenging transition and I was feeling a bit burnt out. I met an inspiring spiritual leader who introduced me to yoga and meditation. My yoga practice has become an integral part of my daily self-care because if I am taking care of myself, I can take better care of my clients!  In 2017 I got my 300-hour yoga teaching certificate and I have been teaching classes for public defenders in CO now via Zoom! Yoga has made me a better – more effective- lawyer/mother/partner/friend. 

I will start the session with breathing exercises and some gentle stretching. I will then go through Sun A and Sun B postures (with some nice Warrior and Goddess poses) and will end with a relaxing savasana and sound bowl closing. I integrate an intention throughout the class to help center and inspire the class participants. It will be a fun, gentle flow- a lovely way to start your day.
