Monthly - Friday Night Summer Restorative Series
Friday, 6:00 to 8:00 PM
This monthly Restorative Series is theme based, all sessions will be a balanced practice with a different focus. Opening,
will emphasize backbends. Backbends are stimulating, they counteract
slouch back, stretch the whole front body, abdomen and diaphragm. Help
breathing problems and relieves mild depression. Detoxing, will
feature twists, inversions and breath exercises. Twists flush out waste
as the organs are squeezed, and fresh blood rushes in when the twist is
released. They help to open the breath and let go of the old, bringing
in the new. Surrendering, will focus on forward bends. Forward
Bends are claming, lower blood pressure, stretch hamstrings, gluteals
and the whole back body. They facilitate surrendering and letting go.

Pranayama (Breath-Exercise) Workshop
Yogis believe
that breathing
practices are more beneficial to the body, mind, and spirit than
postures. In this workshop, you will learn fundamental yogic breathing
techniques, and to connect with your breath. Increase your prana (life
force energy) and create more oxygen rich blood flowing through your
body and to your brain. Reduce toxins (and therefore dis-ease) in the
body by learning proper breathing. You will learn breaths to combat
stress, increase energy, relieve insomnia, and to cool the physical
body.
Saturday, July 19th
3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Sweet Molasses Workshop
A blissful combination of Hatha/Flow and Restorative Yoga
This
workshop begins with a short meditation, then eases into exploring
traditional asanas (postures), with focus on breathing, mindfulness,
and alignment. After an invigorating workout, we will transition into the sweetness of Restorative Yoga: using
props, we will relax into postures for prolonged periods of time. The
stillness allows your body to rejuvenate, your nervous system to calm,
and your whole being to feel the peace which is your natural state. The
approach is gentle to all postures, even challenging ones. Essential
oils will be used to enhance the setting and mood. Hands-on adjustments
along with gentle touch add a personal flavor. Pranayama (breath
control exercises) will be integrated throughout the workshop.
Date To Be Announced
3:00 PM to 5:30 PM
