Yoga for Perimenopause and Menopause
SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2025, 2:00-4:00 PM, with stacey
From my personal experience, this natural transition over the years has not been an easy one, leaving me with many questions. After conducting research on coping mechanisms, I have discovered that yoga offers numerous benefits. This two-hour workshop will explore techniques such as breathwork, asana, yin, and restorative poses to address common systems like hot flashes, joint discomfort, stress, insomnia, and anxiety reduction.
Embrace summer
Yin Yoga for Summer
Sunday, august 10, 2025, 2:00-4:00 p.m., with stacey
Interested iYin yoga is often referred to as “the quiet practice,” which allows students to move more inward and into a meditative state. Yin poses are a series of long held passive floor poses that mainly work the hips pelvis, thighs and lower lumbar spine. The opposite of a muscle engaged yoga practice we soften all of our muscles in each pose to allow all the fascia (connective tissue), ligaments, tendons and joints to modestly simulate. Some benefits to practicing Yin are increased mobility in the body (especially the joints and hips), brings a calm and balancing affect to the mind and body and can help you sit longer more comfortably for meditation. Open to all levels and abilities.
This 2-hour workshop will focus on the season of summer and moving into shapes that benefit the meridians and organs associated with the season.
