Mindfulness Meditation with Neil Goodman
January 16:  1:00PM – 3:00PM             $30

Mindfulness is a practice of being aware of what we are doing moment to moment... not in the past or future, but in the present and being very much aware of what arises in the present. In mindfulness, we are trying to achieve a mind that is stable and calm.  Using simple exercises and techniques, learn how to get to an elevated state of consciousness while fully awake.  This method is known to boost your energy and immune system, lower your heart rate and blood pressure while experiencing a heightened sense of the world around you.

               

Yin Yoga with Pat Pao
January 30:  1:00PM – 3:00PM             $30

This workshop is a basic introduction to the Yin practice; a combination of quiet stationary poses designed to work our connective tissues and to protect the health of our joints.  A more passive practice, Yin Yoga is the perfect balance to yang yoga (an active practice) helping to strengthen and harmonize our energy system. 

The Yang practice focuses on muscles and the surface of the body; the Yin practice is designed to work our connective tissues (ligaments and fascia) and nourishes the flow or energy in our bodies.
Open to everyone!
