Yoga for Springtime Renewal
Mar 23, 4:00 - 6:30 pm Spring is upon us, nature's season of rebirth and renewal. Just as nature begins to blossom, we too can cultivate our heartfelt desires and watch them blossom into new beginnings. We begin with a gentle flow practice to slough off winter's stagnation. Then restorative yoga will soothe the mind and body. While resting you will receive Reiki, a gentle energy that promotes ease & healing. We close with Yoga Nidra (guided meditation) to bring you to a deeply relaxed state, allowing the body and mind to absorb your sankalpa (seed of heartfelt desire). Create fertile soil in which your intention will flourish, and move confidently into the new season. Cost is $65 if you enroll in advance; $70 at the door. |

Spring Detox: Yin Yoga & Acupuncture
Mar 31, 3:30 - 5:00 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. |
