Madrina led a reflective session centered around guided meditation, breathwork, and mindful movement. The class explored breathing techniques and somatic stretches designed to harmonize yin and yang energies—especially attuned to the season of summer and the heart's expansive, fire element.
Incorporating wisdom from Chinese medicine and personality theory, Madrina introduced the concept of the Rabbit temperament—often associated with heightened sensitivity, hyper-awareness, and a desire for control or order. She compassionately highlighted how traits like obsessive-compulsive tendencies (OCD) can be understood not as flaws, but as deeply human ways we all seek stability and predictability.
Through intentional movement and breath, participants were invited to notice where they cling to routine and where they can soften. Madrina emphasized that we all have certain rituals or preferences we rely on to function, and that yoga is a space to honor those while gently expanding beyond them. Alignment cues and breath reminders grounded the class in the present moment, encouraging comfort within discomfort and connection to self.
