Restorative Yoga
Sunday, April 19th, and May 31st 1-2pm $15
Bring balance back into your hectic schedule and enjoy the calming effects of restorative yoga on your nervous system. This floor based practice is designed to soothe the body and mind by completely supporting our postures with the assistance of bolsters, blankets, and blocks and by allowing for plenty of time in each posture. This helps students of every level ease their way into, and enjoy the benefits of, deep relaxation.
Restorative yoga can bring stillness to the busy mind, releases muscle tension, increases vagal tone, and may improve sleep. Through deepening and evening out the breath, and allowing our bodies to be completely supported, we can feel where tension is being held. So often we are moving through the day, unaware or unable to reflect on muscle tension. This “fight or flight” response becomes the dominant operating system and can cascade to many lasting effects. Restorative yoga creates an opening to the “rest and digest” side of our nervous system.
Enjoy this opportunity to practice self-care and leave with a renewed sense of awareness and possibly a deeper sense of compassion for yourself and others. Each month's session will have a different theme and may include a small gift for you to take home.

Hormones & Health w/ Dr. Lisa Mainier, DO, PhD
Sunday, May 17th, 11:00am-12:30pm $35
Questions, thoughts, concerns. Oh my! Join us on a journey through the jungles of hormone health information. We'll be recapping the information provided in our first installment of Hormones & Health and also taking a deeper dive on the topic. Are hormones safe? What role does each hormone play in the body? Why should we replace them? What are the benefits, side effects, safety, and options? What should I ask my doctor?
So many conflicting stories, posts, blogs, papers and books about hormones! How do I know what to think about hormones or even what questions to ask my doctor? It is wise to start with a basic understanding of your body, hormones and function before you feel pressed to make decisions regarding hormone replacement therapy. Sex hormones are not just about sex, decreasing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. Hormones are beneficial to whole-body health, including but not limited to bones, muscles, brain and heart, just to name a few.
Join Dr. Lisa Mainier, a double-board certified physician, to learn the basics of every hormone’s function, bio-identical hormone replacement, and the difference between pre-menopause, peri-menopause and menopause hormone function and hormone imbalance. Even if you are not ready for perimenopause, this lecture may be beneficial if you experience irregular, heavy or painful menses. Learn the best practices when it comes to the mature woman’s health and for those experiencing hormonal issues before menopause. Learn what to ask your doctor, how to protect and monitor breast and reproductive health in a way that also defends against heart, bone, brain, liver, and muscle health. Retain sovereignty over your body and health by becoming a good steward of wellness. Understand what you can do to
prevent an early decline in body function. By the end of this lecture, you will better understand the different and confusing terms that doctors use for HRT, recognize appropriate lab testing, and appreciate the principles of hormones and their purpose. You will know what questions to ask and what to expect as an answer. You will feel more confident and less confused about past studies and current trends. You will be able to make decisions based on pertinent, less confusing information and feel more confident in your decision. Please feel free to bring questions!
