The Gentle Rebel

The Gentle Rebel moves from recognizing what feels true to experimenting with what it feels like to stand behind it, move with it, and give it expression.

Through yoga philosophy, somatic awareness, movement, reflection, and creative exploration, we’ll play with the space between knowing who you are and fully owning it.

Arrive

We’ll begin by grounding in what is true right now, noticing your body, energy, attention, and whatever you’re bringing with you into the evening.

Claim

Through reflection and conversation, we’ll explore what deserves more space in your life. A quality, desire, strength, truth, way of expressing yourself, or perhaps something harder to name.

We’ll introduce satya, the yogic practice of truthfulness, alongside samskaras, the grooves and patterns that can influence how freely we express what we know to be true.

Embody

Then we’ll take the exploration into the body.

Through more energetic movement, familiar yoga shapes, unfamiliar variations, strength, choice, and a little experimentation, you’ll have opportunities to notice what changes when you step into the space you have defined.

Own

Using what you noticed through movement, you’ll begin creating your Rebel Card, a personal expression of the qualities, truths, and convictions you want to own more fully.

You’ll also identify a samskara you’re ready to loosen; an old groove you no longer need to keep rehearsing.

Integrate

We’ll shift from expression into stillness with a short restorative practice, giving your experience time to settle across the layers of the koshas—body, energy, mind, inner knowing, and deeper sense of self.

We’ll close by returning to your Rebel Card and choosing one act of gentle rebellion to carry into the week ahead.
