Savoring the Moment: A Yogic Approach to Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving week, Lauren invites you into a gentler, more honest expression of gratitude—not a list, not a platitude, but the embodied art of presence and savoring.

In this solo episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, you’ll explore yogic teachings like:
Santoshya – contentment
Ishvara Pranidhana – surrender
Abhyasa & Vairagya – disciplined presence + letting go
️ Pratyahara – withdrawing from overstimulation

Lauren shares personal reflections, seasonal wisdom, and gentle invitations to slow down—especially during the holidays. She also addresses the complexity of Thanksgiving as a holiday, honoring its historical context and encouraging thoughtful land acknowledgment.

✨ Topics include:

• How slowing down activates the parasympathetic nervous system

• Why savoring is a deeper form of gratitude

• Mindful eating as a spiritual practice

• Accessible yoga and journaling rituals for the season

• Thanksgiving classes at True Love Yoga
