Restorative Yoga with Colleen this Saturday & Upcoming Transformational Winter Retreat with Christine Fraser
/UPCOMING EVENTS & SPECIAL CLASSES
Restorative Yoga with Colleen
Saturday February 22 @ 10:45am-12pm (this will take the place of the yin class)
Drop in: $20 or use your yoga pass but please pre-register by this Thursday, even if you have a punch pass.
Only 16 spots available.
We have extra props for you to use but if you have your own, please bring them as restorative yoga requires a lot of props for each person (if possible, please bring 2 blankets, bolster and a block).
“Make a date with yourself for rest and relaxation.”
The practice of Restorative Yoga allows the body to fully rest and re-set the nervous system. The supportive use of props helps to elicit a relaxation response in the body and the mind. This practice benefits all of the muscles and organs in the body through a process of repair and rejuvenation; it also aids in mental health, is supportive to the immune system, regulates metabolism and helps with insomnia. Restorative Yoga is for “every body” and “everybody” today needs it! No experience is required and everyone is welcome!

Sattva, Stillness & Soundbath with Kevin Gaudet
Saturday March 28
9:30am: Sattva Yoga
10:45am: Stillness/Nidra & Soundbath

Drop in for one: $20
Please pre-register as space is limited!
SATTVA All Levels: SATTVA yoga is for the whole person -- body, breath and mind. The asana sequences are well-rounded, vigorous vinyasa-based classes that address the body systematically, moving through monthly cycles of Front, Back, Side and Central Strength perspectives on the body, as well as their correlating energetic and mental experiences. We will focus specifically on the Side Body lines for the month of March, developing sensitivity, clarity and concentration as we do so. Pranayama and meditation practices will be included at the end of the practice.
Nidra and Sound: Prepare for deep relaxation and insight to arise, as the ancient technologies of yogic sleeping (nidra) and sound (nada) are artfully combined. Sound artist Kevin Gaudet will guide you into a receptive state both verbally and through the use of his three wind gongs, wherein the body and mind can rest, heal and integrate. The mind will be sweetly and compassionately overwhelmed by the power of sound and vibration, allowing you to experience your inner environment in new and profound ways.
