Yin Yoga & Acupuncture
June 5, 7:00 - 8:30 pm Yin Yoga and Acupuncture promote health and well-being by enhancing the flow of Life Force (chi, prana) through the body. Yin Yoga does this by placing the body into a sequence of particular shapes, and then holding these shapes passively for several minutes each. Each Yin pose creates a constructive tension within a different region of the body that, upon release of the pose, causes chi to flood the region. Acupuncture enhances the flow of chi by painlessly inserting needles at particular points in the body where the chi pathways (meridians) flow. This gentle practice is suitable to all levels. We'll focus specifically on the Liver and Gallbladder Meridians as these are the dominant energy meridians in springtime. Benefits include detoxification and enhanced digestion, leading to improved overall energy flow and a more easygoing disposition, more balanced emotions, and greater flexibility and adaptability to change. A perfect energetic "jump start" for Spring! Cost is $35 in advance; $40 at the door. |

Align with Summer: Ayurvedic Teachings for Radiant Health
June 12, 7:00 - 8:30 pm Summer is here! It is a time to revive yourself, release the emotional effects of this past winter, and enjoy the company of friends and family. But summer heat can also dehydrate your body, compromise your immunity, damage your skin, and present other significant health challenges. According to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda (a 5,000 year old holistic life science from India), our bodies are energetically the weakest during the summer season. Living according to the natural cycle of seasons and making small and appropriate changes to our rhythms can mean all the difference in how we handle the summer heat and maintain optimal health for the rest of the year. In this workshop, you'll learn:
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old healing science from India whose primary goals are to promote health, and encourage vitality and long life. Two of the most important concepts in Ayurveda are 1) the body, mind and spirit are connected, and 2) each person is unique, and the health of that person is affected by genetics, age, physical capacity, seasons, time, and food and lifestyle habits. Cost is $30 in advance; $35 at the door. Sriram Moorthy is an Ayurvedic practitioner, founder of Ved Living, and author of e-book How to Beat Fatigue and Boost Energy Naturally (http://bit.ly/2VkDvGX). His mission is to inspire people to live free and unburdened. He graduated as an Ayurvedic practitioner from the Dinacharya Institute in NY in 2011 and is trained in advanced pulse assessment and marma therapy from the Art of Living foundation. www.vedliving.com |
