Upside-down and open hips in the winter with Natalie!
Sunday, March 11th 2012 from 2 pm – 4 pm

nat
Come warm yourself on a Sunday morning/afternoon in January with Natalie.
We will flow in ways that open the body and prepare it for ever deeper variations of hip-opening poses, and use the heat of the body to soften even more sweetly into the asanas that require more flexibility in the hip joints.
The lightness in the legs translates then into turning the world upside down as we play with some inversions.
$30/pre-registration necessary

Empower Yourself for 2012!
Special Holiday Workshop with Visiting Teacher, Anna Fidz
Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011 11:15am-1:15pm

Join Anna for two hours of meditation and yoga with a focus on reflection, letting go and, ultimately, renewal for the New Year! We will start out with a short journaling exercise to reflect on the PAST year and then set new clear intentions for the NEW year! We will then build some heat through our physical practice including lots of twists to wring out any toxins and hip-openers to release any negativity, blame and shame. Then we will weave our new intentions into a creative sequence of heart-opening postures. We will conclude with a well-deserved yoga nidra (deep, physical, mental and emotional release). You will leave feeling energized, refreshed and relaxed...ready to face 2012 with clarity, purpose and courage!

The workshop will end with a well-deserved yoga nidra,a guided meditation that promotes complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Open to everyone except complete beginners.
$30/pre-registration necessary

PAST WORKSHOPS...

PRENATAL YOGA

Partners welcome (complimentary)!

The Prenatal Yoga classes provide an opportunity for an expectant woman to develop greater vitality and awareness of her body that is home for two, as well as to deepen her relationship with her baby. Gentle postures, breath work, visualization, vocal toning and meditation are learned to cultivate flexibility, calm and confidence in preparation for labor and childbirth. Women are empowered to enhance their ability to access greater relaxation, comfort, and enjoyment. Prenatal Yoga eases the birthing process by reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. Yoga is a wonderful opportunity for expectant mothers to tone and stretch while at the same time lower blood pressure, increase oxygenation, learn breath control, and most especially, connect with their bodies and their babies.
Prenatal students are welcome to attend all yoga classes.
However, those students new to yoga should not begin with an advanced class.

Prenatal students may register for the prenatal class ($69) OR unlimited yoga for $75 for 5 weeks (this can be renewed every 5 weeks)
Thursdays, 5:30-6:30pm
