Laughter Yoga Wednesday, November 28th 5:30-6:15pm by donation
When is the last time you had a good laugh? In a Laughter Yoga class, we use brief laughter games to stimulate and trigger laughter. The games can be done seated or standing and moving around. We start off "faking it," and through eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The most important outcome is to let go, relax, and have fun with the experience. This triggers the “feel good” chemicals to release into the body. By the time the session ends, the anxiety, stress, and burdens of the day all dissolve in the peals of laughter and fun. Remember: Laughter is the Best Medicine.

Chakra Opening Workshop Saturday, Dec 1st 2:00-4:00pm $25
This workshop will explore the theory of the chakra system including how it is related to the physical body as well as energetic sheaths, and how yoga practices can help to keep these energetic centers open to promote healing and health. We will move through asanas (physical postures), apply different mudras (hand positions/symbols), and practice pranayama exercises (breath-work) to help release any energetic blockages and allow prana (vital energy/Chi) to move freely through the body.

Pilates Fundamentals w/ Kimberly Moscatello, December 2, 12:30-2:30 $18
Learn the history and principles of one of the oldest and most widely practiced exercise methods in the world. Time will be spent learning the fundamentals of Pilates movement and exercises at different strength levels for a safe and effective individual practice. Materials and resistance bands will be provided. Please bring a mat and full sized towel.
 Kimberly Moscatello has been practicing Pilates since 2003 and graduated from the Regeneration Institute of Pilates in 2010 with a 100-hour teaching certification. Recognized by Pilates Academy International, her training includes beginner thru advanced classical matwork and props as well as working with prenatal/postnatal and special injury clients. The mission of her company "Pilates Within Reach" is to show that Pilates can change, rework, and benefit any body regardless of shape, size, or age.

Asana Workshop Sunday, Dec 9 1:00-3:00pm $25
Come learn to deepen your practice with this 2 hour asana workshop! In class, we don't always have time to work on refining certain more challenging poses. This workshop will focus on common problems and mistakes that can cause injury. Using props, you will be shown the proper alignment of many main poses, as well as some alternative suggestions for injuries or ailments. This will not be a "flow" class, but will be an open discussion. The instructor will attempt to address any poses or problems you may have as the class progresses. Anyone at any level will benefit from this workshop.

Tuesday, December 11th 7:00-8:45pm FREE CLASS
w/ Dr. Tyler White, DC & Rebecca Feiler, MA, CYT
This free class offers a light-hearted and informative discussion on healthy ways to cope with various forms of stress and holistic practices that prevent dis-ease. Presenters will specifically address whole-food nutrition, yoga and chiropractic.
