Dive into the “Subtle Body” in this special 2 hour workshop. Using techniques from Kripalu yoga, Thomas Hanna Somatics and Qigong, this workshop will give you both an intellectual understanding of concepts as well as experiential education in the subtle body.
This practice is excellent for those working with chronic pain, healing injury or processing grief. It’s also a great way to begin or deepen a mindfulness practice. Each subtle body exercise uses intention instead of force to create space in the connective tissue and to lengthen tight muscles without stretching.
The workshop will begin with a discussion of the properties of Prana and the subtle body as it is described by the Koshas. This is followed by 1 hour of movement, pranayama and meditation.
Please join Julie Lemerond to learn how to create a bedtime yoga and self-care routine that can dramatically improve your sleep health.
The class will include some gentle yoga and meditation, along with a discussion about cultivating good sleep habits. Takeaways include a 20-minute meditation to use when going to sleep at night, plus handouts and other treats to help you get the sleep your body is craving and deserves
Join in a spirited book discussion of a selected title each month. New participants are always welcome! The March book is: “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison. Copies are available at the Information Desk one month before the discussion.
Join Kat Eggers for this special two-hour workshop focusing on the Breath and how your breath can be used in yoga and in life to heal your body, mind and spirit.
The body has a built-in internal massage system called the breath. When the biomechanics of our natural breath is compromised we can experience all kinds of mysterious symptoms, including poor digestion, sleeplessness, neck and shoulder pain, lower back and hip pain, high blood pressure and fatigue.
When we breathe mindfully and with body awareness, our food becomes more nourishing, our sleep more restful, our stress more manageable. We might find chronic pain magically disappears, that gravity rests lighter on our shoulders, that it’s easier to focus.
Combining yogic principles with Western Science, Kat Eggers, biologist and registered yoga teacher, will teach how to breathe to heal and improve the quality of your life!
Join us for an all-inclusive book discussion!
3rd Wednesday each month from 6-7 p.m.
