4 Week Element-Themed Gentle Yoga Series - EARTH

 * Week 1: Earth (April 22)

   * Focus on grounding poses like mountain pose (Tadasana), tree pose (Vrksasana), and gentle standing

poses.

* Emphasis on cultivating a sense of stability, calmness and connection with the earth.

Elemental yoga is a practice that draws upon the ancient concept of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space (or ether) to create a deeper connection between the body, mind, and the natural world.

It is a way of aligning oneself with the energies of these elements through yoga postures, breath work, and meditation.

Benefits:

 * Increased sense of grounding and stability.

 * Improved emotional balance and fluidity.

 * Enhanced energy and vitality.

 * Greater mental clarity and focus.

 * Deeper connection to nature and oneself.

In essence, elemental yoga is a holistic approach to yoga that seeks to create harmony within the individual and with the surrounding world.

Paradox can be defined as a situation that seems impossible or difficult to understand because it contains opposite facts or characteristics.

We live with this tension daily, and sometimes it creates confusion. So how do we work with it? How do we make sense of the chaos? 

In this afternoon's workshop we will:

Explore ways to work with this tension

Utilize movement and writing to help us get aligned with our core values

Set intentions for the new year.

Jennifer will guide us through gentle movement to help us open up and stay present, and Christopher will offer us moments of stillness and simple writing exercises to help us answer the questions:

What really matters now?

How do I nourish my dreams and desires while embracing paradox?

As a group, we'll draw upon our collective energy, being witnesses for one another, and holding the space together. Those who choose the option of reading aloud will receive helpful, supportive feedback.

Our workshop in September 2023 helped everyone to dig deep, practice self-compassion, discover important truths, and take steps toward healing old wounds. We're ready to do that again, and we'd love to have you join us.

Summer Solstice Immersive

Heart-Opening Yoga: Embrace Your Inner Light

As the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, the solstice is seen as a time of spiritual illumination. It is an opportunity to seek greater understanding, wisdom, and clarity in one's spiritual journey.

This period is ideal for meditation and introspection, aiming to harness the heightened energy for personal and spiritual growth.

It is indeed a time to honor the inner light within oneself and the universe.

Class Description:

Join us for "Heart-Opening Yoga," a transformative journey designed to open your shoulders, arms, and chest while focusing on the heart chakra, the center of your inner light, which holds great love, compassion, and inner peace.

This class is perfect for anyone looking to release tension, improve posture, and cultivate a deeper connection to both the physical and spiritual heart space.

Class Highlights:

    •    Warm-Up and Centering: Begin with gentle stretches and breathwork to ground yourself and connect with your breath, setting a mindful intention to open your heart and mind.

    •    Heart-Opening Asanas: Engage in a series of poses specifically chosen to open the shoulders and chest.

    •     Mantra, Sound and Meditation: Conclude the practice with a mantra that invokes the divine light of the Sun, a sound bath and heart opening meditation.

Benefits:

    •    Physical: Release tension in the shoulders and chest, improve flexibility and posture, and enhance lung capacity.

    •    Emotional: Cultivate self-love, compassion, and emotional balance. Giving your self time to “be” instead of “do” while remembering what really matters.

    •    Spiritual: Deepen your connection to your inner light residing in the heart chakra by slowing down and turning your attention inward, inviting a sense of peace, joy, and interconnectedness with all beings.

    •    Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this immersive offers a supportive and nurturing environment to explore the profound benefits of a heart-centered practice.

    •    Come with an open mind and leave with an open heart, feeling lighter, brighter, and more aligned with your true self.
