$149 for 6 weeks

This 6 week series based on the book, The Joy Diet, by Martha Beck, will cover a set of tools, one new tool each week, that will help you develop greater joy in your life including developing a daily short meditation practice, cutting through to the truth about your life, getting in touch with your greatest desires/goals, infusing creativity into the process, taking risks, learning self-care, learning to play again, developing the fine art of laughter, building authentic connections with others, and finally feasting on the joy of life.  Although reading the book in conjunction with the class could enhance your engagement with the information, it is not required to read in order to participate in the class.  The class is cumulative, so it is best if students try to make every class to maximize the value of the series.

 

Restorative or Yin Yoga is a very healing format that uses supine postures that do not engage the muscles so as to enable the deeper fascia and ligaments to stretch and become more supple. This is a great practice for all levels especially those who would like a gentler more meditative practice. This is also a great practice for those who do a lot of intense workouts helping keep the body healthy and injury free. This class is also great to build self-regulation and resiliency skills in managing stress and anxiety. The instructor incorporates Thai massage, integrated aromatherapy and yoga adjustments as needed and with permission from the students as part of helping ease students into the postures and encouraging greater body awareness and relaxation. 90 minute class.
