(Please register ahead by at least one hour.) Together we will explore human movement through mobilization drills, including new patterns and play, with the intent of becoming a better mover regardless of the situation. Come and feel like a kid again (or still), while rediscovering natural mobility lost through years of disuse, specialization in sport, etc.

It is requested that attendees be comfortable with squatting, kneeling and plow pose. Long pants and clothing without zippers, snaps, or anything that may scratch the hardwood floor is required. Also, consistent attendance helps the instructor and the student.

David's hope is to build a strong community of movers in our hometown; a community who is eager to explore, is passionate about becoming better human animals, and supporting each other in the process.

David Finley is a mixed-movement artist, who has studied and practiced various forms of movement throughout his life. His teaching focuses on proper technique, alignment, and logical progressions to building strength, flexibility and resilience.

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 4 meetings, Tuesdays, Sept. 10, 17, 24 and Oct. 1st, from 7 to 8:15 pm. Bring a yoga mat, or we have mats you can borrow or buy. (There is a class beforehand that goes to 6:50.)

10% of the proceeds is donated to Ohio Forest Sanctuaries.

Restorative Yoga is a gentle practice that encourages deep relaxation, stress reduction, and rejuvenation. You can expect a mixture of deep breathing and mindfulness, as well as holding supported, passive poses for two to ten minutes - all sequenced to help you tap into your relaxation response!

The flows will include basic floor postures, such as supported back-bends, twists, and an occasional inversion. While we will offer modifications; please let us know ahead of time if you have any special considerations.

So reset and restore as we embrace change with this Autumn Restorative Yoga series.

Class meets each Wednesday for four weeks in a row. Total price for all four sessions is $55, or drop into a single class for $15.
