Yoga Workshops
Fall 2019-Winter 2020
6th Annual
Holiday Restorative Yoga by Firelight
Sunday December 15th, 2019
4pm-6pm
Join your fellow yogis in a stress busting yoga workshop. Let's celebrate the holidays with restorative yoga and yoga nidra. All are welcome to take deep rest and find respite in the middle of the holiday chaos with Restorative Yoga by the warmth of a roaring fire, grounding breathwork, a long guided relaxation and meditation. Return to your holiday season rested and calm!
What is Restorative Yoga:
Restorative Yoga is a healing style of yoga that accentuates non-doing and uses props like pillows, blankets, and eye pillows for pure bliss and relaxation. No yoga experience required. Injuries welcome. There is no weight bearing in this style of yoga.
The purpose of Restorative is to rest and calm the body. When we get overwhelmed and stressed from overdoing (Such as during the holidays!) we need to slow down our nervous system and allow the body to heal itself. This will be a real treat for those who do too much, give too much, or feel distracted and anxious.
Lets celebrate comfort and joy in the postures this Holiday season!
Cost $40 for 2 hour of Restorative Yoga and other treats!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Winter YIndulgence
Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Dark Chocolate
Wednesday January 27th, 2020
6:30pm-8:30pm
at SETAUKET NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE
Indulge in meditative Yin yoga poses, deep relaxation or yoga nidra, and Dark Chocolate!
WINTER YIN YOGA:
In Chinese Medicine, winter represents the most Yin time of year. Yin is the cold, slow, inward energy in comparison to Yang, which is light, fast, outward, and hot. The Yin organ associated with winter is the kidney. Our kidneys are vitally important organs, storing our body's most fundamental energy, our qi, and directing it to places in the body that are running low. Kidneys require rest to be revitalized and conserve this important energy. Winter is the time for us to slow down, to turn inward, and to partake in activities which enrich Yin, temper Yang, and allow the kidneys time to replenish.
YIN YOGA:
practice is an experience of holding poses while non-striving and cultivating compassionate acceptance. While relaxing superficial Yang muscular tissues, we are able to access the deep Yin connective tissues—fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. This releases built-up tension from our lifestyles (standing, sitting, working, sports), helps our bodies feel less stiff and more fluid, counters the effects of aging, helps injuries heal, and improves range of motion of the joints.
Yin yoga gives you space to slow down, allowing you to witness what’s unfolding from moment to moment.
YOGA NIDRA:
Yoga Nidra is an accessible practice that anyone can do. You simply lie down on your yoga mat and you are guided through the "layers" of your being: Mind, Body, Emotions, and Intellect. Sheds years of stress. "wake up" feeling completely renewed!
Dark Chocolate:
I will have an assortment of Organic Dark Chocolate to indulge in after our practice. Yoga is also about enjoying life and appreciating the sights, smells, and tastes of life!!!
What to Bring:
Bring your Own Mat and Bring your favorite small blanket or throw for the relaxation.
Location:
Our practice takes place in the Lakeside room at Setauket Neighborhood House.
Class is Limited in Size. Pre-register to Hold Your Spot!
Cost: $40
