Yoga and Menopause Workshop
Apr 14, 2024 - Apr 14, 2024

An experience all women share...Menopause

 

Let's bring more awareness to this important subject which is often ignored or avoided.

 

Tina will help you see menopause as a time of growth, strength, health and empowerment!

 

We’ll talk about nutrition, exercise strategies to support you, as well as ways to tweak your lifestyle to improve your sleep, reduce your stress and improve your well-being.

And we'll focus even more on the top 3 areas that arose the most from the last class - anxiety, diet and insomnia.


Through a gentle physical practice, you will learn yoga poses to help ease your symptoms. And there will be time to chat with other members of our gruvnYOGA community to share experiences.

 

Embrace the transition and learn to feel your best during this beautiful chapter of life.

Blindfolded Yoga
Apr 20, 2024 - Apr 20, 2024

Join Candace for a 75-minute Blindfolded Vinyasa Practice

We will warm the spine and legs, then travel through a series of postures, finally synching breath to movement.

There will be limited opportunities for inversions and armbalancing.

 

What you’ll need: Your yoga mat and a blindfold (scarf, bandana, hand towel, etc). Blocks will be needed and will be provided in the studio, or bring your own if you prefer.

 

Requirements: None. All adventurous new and old practitioners are welcome, although it may be beneficial if practitioners are generally familiar with basic yoga poses (ex. warrior, triangle, etc.).

 

There are many benefits to experiencing a blindfolded yoga practice:

~ Bolster proprioception and sensory awareness. Even in a mirrorless room one heavily relies on sight for balance and alignment. When you cannot visually confirm shapes, i.e., that the knee aligns over the ankle, you will be forced to feel, not see alignment and understand where your body is in space (proprioception). After losing sight other senses may heighten as one learns to move more intuitively.

 

~ Be empowered through a highly physical practice. A blindfolded yoga is a more physical practice: the body may temporarily tense up due to anxiety or fear, and as more muscles must engage and tighten to maintain your balance.

 

~ A more internal practice. Eliminate distractions and judgments created through any body comparisons.

 

~ Find trust in your body. Set free the mind and let the body lead. Once acclimated, surprise yourself as you regain comfort, balance and strength.

Yoga and Osteoporosis Workshop
May 5, 2024 - May 5, 2024

There are over 10 million people in the US with osteoporosis, and studies suggest you can help to counteract the effects of bone loss and osteoporosis through the practice of YOGA.

 

But how do you know if your yoga practice is safe for your bones?

 

The Safety Zone is the place where the body’s framework operates as optimally as possible and with much awareness.

Without awareness, strength and balance, this silent disease will cause bones to become more porous and lose structural integrity.

In this workshop, you will learn how bones remodel. You will locate your individual Safety Zone. You will then explore a yoga flow incorporating some well-known yoga postures; and how they relate to creating a safe practice for osteoporosis.

 

This 2.5 hour workshop is guided by Jennifer Herndon, certifed yoga teacher and physical therapy assistant.
