Winter Warmer Seasonal Workshop

With James Foulkes

During the Winter Months our energies tend to naturally be drawn inwards as nature becomes still and the cold weather and long nights draw in.

But something deeper is at work.

The Water energy of Winter is an expression of Maximum Yin and Responsiveness. We will balance the Yin nature of the gentle cleansing stretches and breathwork with complementary Yang practices, whilst using meditation, to support the sustaining of our energetic field through the colder months working with the active kidney and bladder energy.

This time is also one of incubating ideas and intentions to manifest in the Spring.

We will establish multi-layered intentions to blossom in the forthcoming year by peering into the shadows of Winter through journeying.

All Students of all levels welcome.

This workshop will be offered in a HYBRID format; students may choose to attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom meeting links to the workshop will be sent to all students before the workshop begins.  

Saturday, December 11

4:00p – 7:00p | In Studio & Online | $60

With the disruption that currently surrounds us, it’s easy to feel stressed and overwhelmed. Yoga Nidra, a guided meditative practice, can help you find a source of internal stability and resilience. It can ease tension and fatigue, calm the nervous system, and restore energy.

In this workshop you’ll:
- Learn centering and relaxation techniques
- Practice gentle asana stretches for joints and muscles
- Explore yoga breathing techniques
- Be guided through a complete Yoga Nidra practice.

Yoga Nidra is practiced in a comfortable lying or seated position. No prior experience needed — everyone welcome.

This workshop will meet online; Zoom links will be emailed approximately 24 hours and again 1 hour before the workshop begins.

Please register at least 12 hours in advance.

A Celebration of Light

At this time of year, we honor many holidays – Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, and others around the world. What we find in most holidays this time of year is the theme of light. It is a time of darkness in the natural world – short days and long nights. Whether we are honoring the light of the sun, the flickering glow of a candle, or the sparkle of Christmas lights, we all have what is called inner light, which Patanjali, in Yoga Sutra I.26, says is free from grief or sorrow.

Join Cheryl Kravitz on Saturday, December 25th for a class to celebrate the light we all bring to the world. We will practice simple asana, breathwork, and yoga nidra.
