May 18th 6-7pm - Mindful May June 22nd 6-7pm - Celebrating the Summer Solstice July 20th 6-7 - Igniting Joy
Nada Yoga (union through sound) is the yoga of sound. Nada yoga is based on the premise that the entire cosmos and everything in it consists of sound vibrations, or nadas. The sound bath brings the mind, body, & soul into balance with vibrational healing on an energetic level.
Dr. Marla will guide the practice which will include a deep meditation of vibrational sounds. Relax in savasana (corpse pose) while bathing in the sounds of the planetary gong, 14 Tibetan singing bowls, and 7 Crystal bowls as well as a variety of other sacred instruments. The practice will take you to a state of blissful rest and you will receive a deeper healing through the powers of vibration & sound. Sound healing can balance the chakras (energy body), reduce stress, and release emotional and physical pain. Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket (optional) and dress comfortably.
Cost: $30

Get Unstuck: Free your Fascia for More Mobility, Less Pain and a Better Quality of Life!
w/Andi Donovan | Saturday, June 1st 1-3:30pm
Self-Myofascial Release could just be the missing link in your wellness program.
Until recently, fascia was considered 'packing material' that didn't serve any significant purpose. It wasn't until 2012 that fascia became recognized as the body's largest organ with the MOST sensory neurons (250 MILLION!) We now know that the health of our fascia fundamentally contributes to our overall WELLBEING. Healthy fascia is springy and resilient when it is hydrated, which allows muscles, joints, organs, nerves, etc. to function properly. Hydrated fascia helps our body move smoothly and easily without restriction. Picture a bodysuit, a webbing that our body is literally suspended in, creating our structure, shape and posture.
Some benefits of Self-Myofascial Release:
Improve FLEXIBILITY and MOBILTY, as well as FUNCTION and PERFORMANCE.
Improve your MOOD and your POSTURE
Reduce the occurrence of INJURIES... and BALANCE your Energetic MERIDIAN LINES.
You will leave this 2 ½ hour workshop feeling like you have just received a 2 ½ massage.
Andi will provide all the tools necessary for this workshop. Just show up ready to FEEL BETTER!
