9:30 AM
Broadway Weekends at Home- DANCE IT OUT! | Meghan Lynch - We'll start our mornings off together to hopefully make some space within ourselves for the day ahead, even when feeling perhaps physically confined. It may be useful to bring a notebook to each session because it'll begin with three remembrances of gratitude from the day before (and perhaps some journaling after the class is over). We'll then meditate using a different modality each day for about 15-20 minutes. Then, we dance it out. Because, honestly, it's just important to let off a little steam, purge any unresolved feelings, and get ready for an uplifting and productive day. Let's get those endorphins flowing from the get. click here
