Come and have some fun beating on your drum, dance if you get the chance, chant if your spirit moves you. Join us for a drum circle at Yoga Central on select Fridays (6:45 to 8:00 pm), running through the winter months. These are donation-based sessions. Please bring your own drum or percussion instrument. Be creative: a plastic egg partially filled with raw lentils, rice, or beans makes a great homemade percussion instrument!
Drum circles have a rich history in all cultures of providing a meditative way to relax at the end of the day. Join us for a fun community-building drum circle.
It is helpful if you pre-register for free, and have an account with your e-mail address and phone number, then we can contact you with important details, or any changes.
Led by Sally Sutterfield.
Free, or make a donation at the event!
Please join us and bring a dish to share. We will meet at 6:15 at Yoga Central and, yes, there will be tables and chairs.
If your dish has nuts, wheat or dairy, no problem, but please label it that way. Thank you.
Coming early is not recommended as we have a special class ending beforehand. (Well, for that matter, coming late is not recommended either!)
The Vegetarian Club of Canton began in 1989 and for many years promoted healthy, conscientious and sustainable ways of eating. Featured guests, delicious recipes and fun evening get togethers helped spread information about eating more wisely. The club closed with COVID, but some special pop-up events are still offered.
This workshop for women will provide a space to grow in knowledge of the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor. We will have a short discussion each week and proceed to breathwork and movement that support and nourish the pelvic floor. We have four meetings on Saturdays, January 3, 10, 17, and 24, from 1:30 to 2:45 at The Yoga Place. Bring a yoga mat, or we have mats available for you to borrow or purchase.
10% of the proceeds is donated to Ohio Forest Sanctuaries.
$10 per child, per class.
Children's Yoga With MoMoh (Morgan and Mohan). An all ages fun-filled yoga class that is movement filled, music-making, and altogether a silly, light-hearted yoga class. Parents welcome to attend, or not, however if your child is under five, they are required to be accompanied by a parent.
Here are some things you can expect during a Children's Yoga With MoMoh class:
• Kids' Movement Exploration •
Traditional yoga postures and imaginative movement to build a strong and flexible body, grow in confidence, and self-soothe.
• Breathing Exercises •
To balance their energy and tap into the relaxation response.
• Meditation Practice •
To explore rest for the brain and awareness of thoughts to initiate a lifelong practice in peace and power.
• Deep Relaxation •
That gives access to quiet centered space for their mind to rest, allowing calming and healing to begin.
And don't forget fun, fun and MORE FUN!
Children's Yoga With MoMoh is suitable for children within the age range of infant 3-13.
This will be a four-week adventure starting on the first Sunday in January from 2pm-3pm.
All yoga mats and props are provided, but please bring a water. Kiddos should dress comfortably in leggings, sweat pants, or even pajama pants. No jeans please!
This offering is for children only, but a parent can stay the first few times, if that is the preference. $10 per child per class.

T'ai Chi Ch'uan is literally translated as “supreme ultimate boxing”. The “supreme ultimate” part refers to the Chinese concept of the origin of the universe. Out of the infinite potential of the void arises the dual principles of yin and yang. Yang being the male, warm, forceful, light principle, and Yin being the female, cool, yielding, dark principle. Neither one of these principles is superior to the other, and both are necessary because each contains some of the other. They are two sides of the same coin. The yin-yang symbol is also a symbol of T'ai Chi. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is a harmonious dance of yin and yang sometimes referred to as “meditation in motion”.
T’ai Chi was originally practiced as a martial art emphasizing strength and speed. Through time it has evolved into a gentle form of exercise that can be practiced by people of all ages. It consists of a sequence of movements that are performed slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth, even transitions.
This is a six-week series with classes meeting once per week: The cost is $65 per person
