If you…

- have never practiced yoga
- have attended a yoga class and felt lost
- are curious what makes yoga different from exercise
- want to understand the different aspects of a yoga class

Join Emily for Yoga 101!

In this 4-week series, Emily will guide you through an exploration of the different parts that make up a traditional yoga class. This includes a deep dive into basic poses, props, transitions, and breathwork. You will learn what sets yoga apart from being just a physical exercise practice, how it affects the nervous system, and why ending with deep relaxation is so important.

This series is taught in a workshop format where participants get to practice what is taught, with time and space for questions.

Join Elise in our candlelit studio for gentle restorative postures, a guided yoga nidra practice and the tones of the crystal sound bowls.

Yoga nidra aka “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice that is done lying down in savasana, and is designed to bring the practitioner to a place between sleep and wakefulness.

Combined with the healing vibrations of the crystal sound bowls, this powerful, nervous system soothing practice may ease struggles with stress, insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, burnout, overwhelm, exhaustion and more. You will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated - one hour of yoga nidra is said to be equivalent to 3-4 hours of deep, restful sleep.

All levels welcome. Dress for comfort and bring additional cozy props like blankets, pillows and eye masks if you like!

Join Emily for her Guided Meditation Series!

In this offering, you will begin with gentle movement, then settle into a comfortable position for Emily's calming guidance. Each session will cover a different meditation technique. Whether you're a seasoned meditator or just starting out, this 45-minute session is the perfect opportunity to cultivate calm, clarity and inner peace.

Meditation is a practice that helps focus our attention and observe thoughts without judgment. A consistent meditation practice has many health benefits, including improved sleep, better management of anxiety and depression, improved memory, concentration and focus.

Guided meditations provide a focal point, making them ideal for beginners or those who struggle with meditating in silence.

Unlock strength and ease with this 5 week series, focusing on integrating neuromuscular
balance in the muscles of the pelvic floor with the rest of the body.

Pelvic floor muscles are responsible for supporting the abdominal organs, control of
continence, sexual function, childbirth, as well as contributing to core stability. Pelvic floor
dysfunction can commonly be caused by childbirth, but also by hip or back dysfunction. Overtight pelvic floor muscles can cause pain and dysfunction as well.

Do you experience any of these symptoms?
·Pelvic pain
·Incontinence from coughing, sneezing, exercising
·Frequent urination or difficulty urinating
·Pain in lower back, hips or tailbone related to pelvic floor muscles

Other benefits include:
·Improved bladder control
·Greater body awareness
·Reduced tension in the hips, lower back and pelvis
·Better core stability and coordination of the lower back & pelvis

This class series uses the mindful movement and restorative approach of The Feldenkrais Method and ABM Neuromovement to enhance awareness, strength and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles, while improving overall mobility and well-being for effortless movement.
