Partner Restorative Yoga

Saturday February 18th, 3:00-5:00pm, $30

Bring a “partner/friend” or be matched up at the studio; no pressure! This workshop will invite playfulness and fun to the regular restorative experience. The class will feel nurturing, relaxing, and regenerating. Restorative yoga promotes a centering of your breath and body – aligning the physical, breath and mental bodies by practicing stillness or gentle movement for extended periods of time. The props assist in helping you to hold poses longer. We recommend this class for anyone in need of rest, healing, relaxation, and de-stressing; no experience necessary!

This event is a 2 hour class – FREE for our monthly subscribers or $30 per person.  Register HERE. For more information about the benefits of restorative yoga, see: http://www.chopra.com/articles/10-benefits-of-restorative-yoga

Reiki Share and Crystal Bowl Sound Healing

Next offering TBA, 3-5pm, donation based

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing that everyone can use. It has been effective in promoting our innate healing abilities and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Crystal bowls are used to envelop attendees in vibrations that promote healing. Quartz crystal bowls work by sending sound waves throughout your body, which brings harmony through oscillation and resonance. This helps restore your body’s balance which in turn helps you heal. A unique experience not to be missed!
