SPRING YOGA NIDRA & CHAKRA CLEANSING MEDITATION
Start the spring season balanced and relaxed
with Lee Ann Maynard, RYT500
Friday, April 19th, 6-8pm
COST: $30
TO REGISTER: email mindfulyogawithleeann@gmail.com
Yoga Nidra is the yoga of conscious sleep. It is a powerful practice involving guided relaxation and meditation to inspire the body and the mind toward self-healing. When the body and the mind can relax completely, healing begins. Your Deep Intelligence awakens and the issues of this life are perceived through wisdom rather than emotion. Intentional deep relaxation can help lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety, improve memory and inspire creativity.
In this class you will be led through a gentle yoga asana practice to release tension in the body. You will then be guided through a meditation and relaxation practice while resting comfortably on a mat with props and blankets. Once you are relaxed and your mind is calm you will be guided through a chakra cleansing meditation. Chakras are centers that embody spiritual and psychological energy that influence our physical and emotional well being. Balancing these energy centers through movement, breath work and visualization can revitalize us.
(Dress warm and eat only a small meal at least an hour before so that your digestive system will be settled.)

Stress release…
Effortless deep core opening …
Gentle & Accessible…
Blissful Yoga…
Spinal Release Yoga (SRY) is based on a different paradigm from most yoga styles. These poses scientifically release tension in the deepest layers of your body, your spinal muscles, to decompress your vertebrae and discs while making space for your internal organs. Decompress from your busy Holiday month and make space to ring in the new year. More info: http://www.mindfulcareyoga.com/

MYOFASCIAL MOVEMENT & MEDITATION
Exploring the Spiral Lines
with Katie Louvat, RYT500, YACEP
Sunday, May 5, 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Cost: $50, Preregister to reserve your spot.
(3 CEUs for Yoga Instructors)
Our bodies are wrapped in a vast and continuous matrix of connective tissue called fascia. In recent years, movement therapists have identified a number of myofascial pathways that run through our bodies, connecting specific groups of muscles, ligaments, and tendons and crossing multiple bones and joints. Repetitive movement, poor postural patterns, and past injury can lead to imbalance along these myofascial lines which can result in new injury, decreased range of motion in our joints, and chronic pain.
This workshop will focus on the Spiral Line (SPL)—a double helix-shaped pathway of muscle and fascia that links the body from head to toe and supports us with movements like walking, twisting, turning the head, and helps to maintain balance across all plains. When out of balance, the spiral line can create, compensate for, and maintain twists, rotations and lateral shifts in the body.
Through myofascial release (self-massage), meditative movement, and with support from a visual presentation, we will develop a clear felt-sense of our own unique fascial bodies and learn to move through the world with an increased sense of grace, ease, balance, and stability.
REST DEEPLY RESTORATIVE PRACTICE
(On Mother’s Day!)
with Katie Louvat
Sunday, May 12, 4 pm – 6 pm

“Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.” -Tao Te Ching
Enjoy a quiet, therapeutic, and nourishing afternoon of restorative yoga. In a relaxed state, your parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant and the body is able to heal itself, reversing the physiological, mental, and spiritual effects of chronic stress. During this two-hour practice, Katie will lead you through a combination of supported postures, myofascial release, breath-work and meditation that will leave you feeling rested and renewed.
Use this practice to:
* decrease insomnia, mental fatigue, and chronic muscle tension
* balance your energy level and increase mental alertness
* improve cardiovascular, digestive, and circulatory health
* alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety
* strengthen your immune system, support your body’s natural healing process and more
Please bring a personal eye pillow if you own one and dress in layers.
The Five Movements of the Spine
with Pamela Everett, RYT 200
Sunday, May 19, 9 – 11 am

The entire practice will incorporate the five movements of your body’s magnificent axis, and help you give kind attention to those movements into your daily life. The workshop winds down with restorative postures and meditation to further nourish this part of the body that does so much for us day after day.
