Class II of O.Y.H Winter 2025 Series: Balance, Breath & Being 🌬️

Yoga + Dialogue • Grounding Practice + Personal Reflection

In this heartfelt session, Yusuf Erskine,D.O. welcomed Druelle course participants to a free community yoga class designed to restore presence, balance, and connection. The practice began with gentle breathing and stretching exercises, including standing postures, full-body elongation, and mindful exhalations to release stored tension.

Yusuf then guided the group through a series of yoga movements and polarity therapy techniques that emphasized body awareness, energetic flow, and joint mobility. Participants used props like bolsters and blocks to deepen their poses while tuning into subtle internal shifts.

Beyond the mat, the session included rich conversation about:

• 🌐 The vitality circuit and Walter Russell’s teachings

• 🌈 Gender fluidity and how it affects polarity in therapeutic practices

• 👐 The importance of consent and autonomy in healing work

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family connections, including J’s reflections on cooking with grandchildren and the joy of slowing down to engage deeply in daily life

As always, J closed the practice with a gentle relaxation and a seated return to stillness, leaving space for gratitude, embodiment, and ease.

🎧 Ideal for those who want to:

• Deepen their yoga or polarity therapy understanding

• Reflect on the intersection of physical health and emotional presence

• Be part of a conscious community exploring movement and meaning
