Living Joyfully
|
| Hi Everyone,
I'm glad to be back in the studio this week for Deep Relaxation/ Yoga Nidra. All month we will be focusing on the chakra system as an entry way into deeper stages of self-relation and relaxation. Whether you think of the chakras from an Eastern perspective, as dynamic energy wheels within the body-mind complex, or from a Western perspective, simply as nerve plexes in the physical body, these gentle movements and guided meditations will bring solace and restoration to body, mind, and spirit as we take a guided journey through the central chakra system. Class meets Wednesdays, 7:15-8:30 pm. I hope you'll join us!
Namaste,
Erin

You Can Attain True Happiness
A Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Hazlitt
|
| 
Happiness is something we all seek, but how easy is it to attain? Actually,
it's easier than you think. If your hectic modern life doesn't give you the time
or ability for simple joy, why not try something that has worked for thousands
of years? Hazlitt can help you learn a few easy-to-use tools that make it easier
to understand, experience and realize your true happiness in the present moment. These liberating instructions are given freely with no expectation of reward,
but in accordance with Buddhist tradition, donations to the teacher are
needed and appreciated to pay for food and travel expenses to get to the next
teaching and to cover other incidentals such as his healthcare. According to
Buddha's teachings, your generosity today is the root of your future prosperity.
Friday, May 21, 7:30 pm
$20 suggested donation.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Introduction to Yamuna Body Rolling
|
|  What
is Yamuna Body Rolling? Come find out for yourself in this fun intro class, Saturday May 29.
YBR is a revolutionary
approach to health and fitness. Learn to work specific muscles in detail to create
suppleness in tight areas and optimize range of motion. It is like giving yourself a great massage - and anyone can do it! Introduction to Yamuna Body Rolling
Saturday,
May 29, 1-2:30 pm $35
YBR reeducates muscles and
stimulates bones creating positive and permanent changes in the body.
Lying on the ball, you literally roll your body out almost like dough,
stretching and elongating your muscles. The YBR routines follow specific
sequences that match the body's own logic and order. Starting where
each muscle begins at its origin, you roll toward where it attaches to
the point called its insertion.
YBR is a natural complement to Yoga and Pilates: They
both eliminate stress and tension. After a class, you'll feel relaxed
and energized at the same time! You will improve your posture and
alignment. You'll get more energy and stamina. Find out first hand all the benefits of this amazing practice with local teacher Nathalie Chanut. Nathalie is the only Yamuna Body Rolling Instructor in the area, and her studio, Right to the Core, is right next door on Capital Hill. Introduction to Yamuna Body Rolling
