Restorative Yoga
Sunday, 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.

Elemental Yoga: Yin Yoga and Acupuncture
Summer Edition: Fire
Friday, June 19th 5:30-6:30pm $60
Early Bird Pricing $50 before May 30
Join us for an evening of deep relaxation and healing! Yin Yoga and Acupuncture, when combined together, increase the benefits of each other. Both work to improve circulation and balance energy, release stress, eliminate pain, and connect the mind, body, and spirit. In this seasonal, special event we'll introduce the tradition of the 5 Elements, teach you the lessons of the current season's element and how we can use this wisdom to our benefit while keeping ourselves in balance with the energies of the season. Each element is also associated with specific meridians (energy pathways) in the body's connective tissue. Our physical practice will put an emphasis on stimulating these energy pathways and their corresponding organs. In addition to practicing the passively held postures of Yin Yoga, you'll also receive direct stimulation to points on the meridians with a brief acupuncture treatment from fAe gibson, of Wellspring Community Acupuncture in Butler. Classes may also include Qi Gong movements and/or pranayama.
