$250
Pre-registration Required
Rasamaya Newburyport, Ma
Food was and should always be pleasurable, sensual, satisfying, social, traditional, comforting, celebratory, familial, and cultural. Much of this has been lost. Americans relationship with food has become quite dysfunctional, stressful, confused, and fraught with hidden traps, tricks, and pitfalls. In this two day workshop we will explore the relationship between what we eat and how we live.
This workshop will be broken into 3 main sections: Plants, Animals, and Lifestyle. Each topic will include a lively and informative lecture and group discussion. Additionally, wonderful yoga asanas and flows promoting and maintaining healthy digestion will be practiced between the first two topics. And between the second and third topic, the digestion related meridians (stomach, intestines, and other digestive organs such as kidney, liver, spleen, and bladders) will be nurtured with some yin yoga and gentle self-massaging techniques.

She believes in balance - balance in body, balance in mind, balance in life, balance in energy. With this quest in her heart, Zanne will be exploring ways to help others find balance and joy through the external and internal journey of yoga. Even more than she enjoys seeking life in the universe, she enjoys making life here sweet and beautiful and invites all to this lovely garden. You can contact her in the studio or at SeaZanne@aol.com
