Yoga Workshops (offered periodically)
Nourish Your Inner Goddess: A Mini-Retreat for Women
Combining the benefits of flow yoga, restorative poses, guided meditation and self-expression, a community of women come together for an extended practice. Through the sharing of our yoga practice, along with our passion, beliefs, and concerns in the world, we are supported in reawakening our sense of connection to our inner divinity, to one another, and to the greater web of life. Related to Meditation Secrets for Women Workshops. No Experience Necessary! All Levels Welcome!
Restorative Yoga Workshop
This yoga practice is all about relaxing and letting go. Surrounded by bolsters and blankets, rest in a cocoon of support in mostly reclined poses that allow the time for gentle opening and greater ease to flow. Appropriate for all levels.
Absolute Beginner and Foundations of Yoga Workshops
In these workshops, basic yoga philosophy and practices are explained in greater detail than can be offered in a regular class setting, in a small group where your personal needs can be addressed. A wonderful way to begin practice or deepen your knowledge of yoga!
Appropriate for all levels, especially beginners.
Meditation Classes & Workshops
Guided Meditation Classes
Usually offered as a series, these classes are for those who enjoy having someone else guide them through a meditation, rather than sitting in silence. Good for all levels of experience, the group often comes together at the end for discussion time and the option of sharing of their personal experiences.
Examples include: Meditations for Stress-Relief, Meditation Made Easy
Yoga & Meditation Specialty Class
In traditional yoga, the physical practice is simply a way to prepare your body and mind for meditation. In these special classes, we offer our yoga practice with a meditative purpose or a specific intention, and follow it with a guided meditation practice.
Example: Gentle Yoga & Meditation in Remembrance of 9/11
Meditation Secrets for Women Workshops
Based on the books and life work of my personal meditation teachers Camille Maurine and Dr. Lorin Roche, this workshop brings meditation alive!
For women searching for an engaging practice that is well-grounded and relevant for their busy modern lives.
