Rejuvenate through Restorative Thai Yoga 

Saturday, December 5, 2-4pm | Sunday, December 6, 7-9pm
Life is sweeter and more joyful when you practice yoga and combine the element of massage! Restorative Yoga is a system of yoga where postures are held passively for long periods of time with an abundance of support. This allows the body to melt into the earth, while you release any stress, tension, or anything you no longer need. Combine this deeply relaxing practice with nurturing, skillful hands applying Thai massage techniques and aromatherapy as you unwind, and the result is a revitalized, rejuvenated, and blissful you!
ONLY 6 SPACES!

Chaturanga Dandasana Workshop: Build Strength & Balance with Knowledge and Ease

Saturday, January 9, 1:30 - 4pm
In this 2.5 hour workshop, we will explore the elusive Chaturanga Dandasana. Our session together will begin with an exploration of Anatomy, Tadasana, and why the knowledge of both are essential for safety and proper alignment within this physical posture. Then together we will practice Sun Salutations to warm up followed by corrections/modifications of Chaturanga Dandasana and how they apply not only to the actual posture, but also the postures we flow into and out of via Chaturanga in Vinyasa classes.
Whether you are a beginning (minimum 6 months of practice is requested) or seasoned Yogi please join Heather Rice to learn correct alignment for Chaturanga and why alignment is essential for creating a safe practice. The strength this pose builds in shoulders, back, core, and along with many other benefits is essential for a strong Yoga practice. You will leave this workshop with the intelligence to help you build a safe, loving, everlasting relationship with Vinyasa Yoga!
Space is limited to 20 students!
