Subtle Body Yoga Workshop @ Embody Movement Studio
Feb 15 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Subtle Body Yoga Workshop @ Embody Movement Studio

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.

Sometimes Heroes: America’s Changing Relationship with Its Veterans @ Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library
Mar 7 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

“Support our troops” is a common phrase, seen on lawn signs and bumper stickers across America. Veterans are welcomed home by enthusiastic crowds, and thousands of service organizations help veterans find jobs, secure housing, and heal from the experience of war.

But it wasn’t always this way. Veterans returning from Vietnam were often greeted by mobs accusing them of being “baby killers.” Veterans from Korea felt their war was forgotten and unknown. And veterans from World War I, destitute during the Great Depression, were treated like criminals by their government.

Why and how has America’s treatment of its veterans changed over time? How have the country’s citizens responded to the call of duty from one war to the next? This presentation examines America’s relationship to wars and veterans over the last century, and what shapes our current national consciousness towards veterans and the wars they fight in our name.

*Contains mature themes.

Breathe to Heal Yoga Workshop @ Embody Movement Studio
Mar 21 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Breathe to Heal Yoga Workshop @ Embody Movement Studio

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!
