Yoga Nidra, $45
20 October 2024, time 1:00-3:00pm
Yoga Nidra is similar to meditation, but there are some key differences. With Yoga Nidra the goal is to move into a deeper state of consciousness providing a tranquil state of relaxation with awareness - while meditation is focusing the mind and allowing thoughts to come and go without being attached to them. Yoga Nidra is a practice that everyone can do, from young to mature, and only requires you to lie down and follow the voice guiding you. This workshop will show you deep rest, relaxation, and nourishment; it will calm your nervous system leading to less stress and better health. This is considered the easiest Yoga practice to develop and maintain, so don't miss this workshop!
We ask that you bring a light scarf or sleep mask for an eye covering during the workshop.

Yoga for Neck and Shoulders, $45
24 August 2024, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
There are plenty of factors for neck and shoulder pain, from medical conditions to lifestyle factors. But more often then not it comes from movement, or lack thereof, in your daily routine. Continually being in a certain position, like looking down at a phone or hunched over a computer at work, or repetitive movements with lack of mindfulness can affect your cervical spine’s natural curve.
Your shoulders are the body’s most mobile ball-and-socket joints. If not properly strengthened and protected, they can become unstable and lead to injury. Asana has been shown to improve chronic neck pain and help reduce stress/strain on the shoulders.
This workshop will teach you several stretches, exercises, and poses that can be done at home to help you improve posture, balance muscles, safely stretch neck and shoulder muscles, and release tension.
