“Where your eyes go, your mind follows.”

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to lose balance in yoga when your gaze wanders?
Or how comparing yourself to others or syncing your pace with theirs pulls you out of your own experience?
Our eyes often lead our minds outward — to distraction, judgment, comparison. In yoga, we call the practice of turning our senses inward Pratyahara: the withdrawal of external focus to reconnect with our inner landscape — with our True Nature.

In this unique 90-minute Winter Slow Flow, we’ll explore that very practice — with the support of a blindfold.

When we remove visual input, the mind naturally quiets, and we begin to feel more deeply:
*The sensation of breath moving through the body
*The grounding of feet on the earth
*The subtle shifts of energy and emotion
*The presence of being rather than doing

Samantha will gently guide you through a slow, steady vinyasa practice, incorporating grounding postures, mindful movement, and breath awareness specifically for winter. With blindfolds provided, this class invites you to trust your body, tune into your inner awareness, and move from a place of calm stability and deep connection.

What to Expect
*Comfortable blindfolds provided
*A slow, breath-led flow to cultivate presence
*Gentle cues to support a safe and embodied practice
*A calming and meditative experience designed to align with the energy of winter
*Space to explore, feel, and simply be
