Holding space is a conscious act of being in the moment, allowing yourself and others to feel and process those feelings. Unsettled, uncertain, and fearful are valid emotions, and learning to sit with those feelings is challenging. We live in a society where fix it and move forward, stuff it down, or numb the pain are often initial reactions. It’s OK not to be OK. The practice of yoga allows you the opportunity to connect with the self. Learning to hold space for others and yourself is a huge part of CJYF Body Positive Fitness and our Yoga philosophy.
