With autumn comes shorter daylight hours, cooler weather, and less hectic schedules – all perfect conditions for slowing down and shifting attention from the external world to the internal. Set aside time for a bit longer practice, with a special intention of finding yourself at home inside yourself once again.
Asana typically makes up the bulk of drop-in classes, but this extended practice will be different. We will utilize pranayama, kriya (practices working on the subtle level of energy), and meditation more than is typical of a drop-in class. The intention will be to go more deeply inward than what we may give ourselves space for in a regular class. Some postures will be present, but will simply be used to ground and distribute energy.

Come accept Nature’s invitation to come back to the deep well of silence and ease within.

Swami Kripalu said that prana (energy) is like the rays of the sun. Like the sun at the center of our solar system radiates outward and enlivens all, prana radiates out from Spirit and enlivens all. Working with energy can therefore connect us to Spirit and contribute to healing on all levels. This extended practice will be all about working with energy and the chakras (energy “wheels”).

Asana typically makes up the bulk of drop-in classes, but this extended practice will be different. We will utilize pranayama, kriya (practices working on the subtle level of energy), and meditation more than is typical of a drop-in class. The intention will be to go into deeper work than we may give ourselves space for in a regular class. Some postures will be present, but will simply be used to ground and distribute energy.

If you are ready to explore working with energy and the chakras, come join us!

As we transition into Autumn and days grow shorter, what better time to care for yourself? In this workshop, we will explore fundamental principles of Ayurveda and some tools to support inner balance and well-being.

We will learn:

• About the 5 elements that make up all of nature, and how we are each a unique blend of these elements called a “constitution”.
• About how foods and spices are incorporated in Ayurveda to support sustained energy and wellbeing during fall and early winter months, the season of “Vata” (and flu season!).
• A gentle practice for calming the nervous system.
• How to make a nourishing tea in our studio kitchen that supports healthy digestion and includes rose petals! Tea hour to follow.

The ancient time-tested practice of Ayurveda offers a powerful, holistic approach to mind-body health.  In the science of Ayurveda, the mind and body are interconnected.  Our emotional wellness impacts our physical health, and our physical health can have emotional roots.

This introductory workshop will include a short discussion and gentle practice, where we will learn:

• Basic principles of Ayurveda that support physical and emotional balance.
• A few self-care tools to support equanimity.
• How foods or spices can be incorporated in Ayurveda to help you feel more balanced.
• A gentle grounding practice, to help restore balance.
