How awkward is it to make friends as an adult? Do you see that same yogi in your class and you have been wanting to introduce yourself? Here is your opportunity to come into TGY and chat, learn, connect, be silent, and get out of the house. This event is designed for us to just be together in a space. We will introduce ourselves, maybe we will smell an oil, maybe there is a topic to be discussed, maybe we make jewelry but the point is, this is FREE and will help strengthen our community and your foundation. We are so powerful alone, so just imagine what more TGY connections in your life will bring?

Join us to kick off the first series of our month of connection at Twisted Grit. Shared Senses is a class to connect not only the body but the senses, the breath, and the entire human experience to create an immersive sensory practice.

This will be a yin class, which means we will be practicing longer holds in poses that are close to the ground and supported. There will be no weight-bearing poses or flows. Yin is designed to get deeper into the muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. It also teaches us how to breathe during discomfort, adapt, and learn how to navigate hard times in our lives. How to rewire our brain to create new patterns in our lives that create more energy, focus, and vitality.

We will use aromatherapy to quickly access emotion and memory, helping the nervous system shift out of stress and into calm. This will help deepen awareness, support emotional release, and make it easier to connect with yourself and others. This can be a very powerful tool to bring off the mat.

The room will be warm and welcoming with candlelight and charged with crystals and grounded with smudging and Reiki before the event. Perfect for instant relaxation.

Come practice real connection and find real healing. Perfect to do with a partner or friend. Our hearts create electricity and energy, which is so powerful that it can be felt 3 feet outside your body. Bring someone to bask in each other's heart energy.

Feel free to bring a journal, yoga mat, or any props that you need. Otherwise, we have everything you need here.

This workshop was so popular last year we have split it into two! Life is more fun with others! In this workshop, you will learn how to use your resources to provide healing bodywork to another, using gravity and bodyweight to deepen your connection. Through a guided evening of hands-on instruction, you can find your center and share it with another. Each person will need to sign up. Price is per person. Two people required

This workshop is taught by TGY massage therapist Maya. She is passionate about taking care of the bodies we call home, and strives to make bodywork accessible from the comfort of your home! She works with her clients to provide simple ideas for self-care between sessions, and is now teaching a class to help you and a partner find relief together.

This workshop is designed to be accessible to all bodies, no strength or flexibility needed. All equipment will be provided for a supportive body position and posture. Clothes will be kept on for this class; comfortable clothing for gentle movement and relaxation is encouraged. The studio will be warm (85 degrees). Please plan accordingly.
