I love being in control. Or at least to have the illusion of being in control. The truth is life is nothing is really in our control except for our perspective. This class is all about releasing the idea of things having to look a certain way and instead leaning into the freedom that comes with accepting things exactly as they are… as my therapist likes to tell me: “Living life on life’s terms.”

This doesn’t mean we need to dismiss our emotions or force any change, rather it’s an invitation to accept what is our relax our grip on trying to control…maybe just a little bit.

Class Mantra (let your mind rest on this phrase while you move):

Everything is working out for my benefit. I live life on life’s terms.

*I do not mirror in this video, so it will look like I’m moving in the opposite direction as you. Follow my verbal directions or follow along visually (in which case you will be moving opposite to my verbal direction).
