Yoga Aid
|
|  The Yoga Aid Challenge is being held in Salt Lake City Saturday, September 18 at Liberty Park.
The Challenge is a special, 2 hour yoga practice held in hundreds of
locations worldwide. The Challenge is lead by teachers from a
variety of local studios, including our own Garrick Peters, Jami Larson, and Lisa Johnston.
How can you participate?
Attend the free event & practice 108 sun salutations with 12 fun and fabulous teachers.
Make a donation to support Yoga Aid's chosen charities. This year, Garrick is leading our Avenues Yoga team in supporting Off the Mat. If you would like to make a donation online, click here.
The Challenge is a unique opportunity to come together with your local
yoga community and experience some wonderful teachers. However, the practice itself is not the challenge. The real challenge is
in participating: whilst attendance is free, participants fund-raise for
charity in the lead-up to the event. By registering for the event, you are helping to create strong communities based on giving.
Practicing with these great yogis is an added bonus!
More information about Yoga Aid is available online and at the studio.

Improve the Way you Run!
| | | Improve the
Way You Run!
 Sept.18
1-6pm
Is
there a way we could we find an internal compass which could reliably lead us
to strong, efficient, and graceful running, directed from the inside by our own experience and awareness? In this
workshop we will do several Awareness Through
Movement® lessons which can both clarify our experience of the mechanics of running as well as awaken our capacity to
attend to many details of ourselves as we run.
As Moshe Feldenkrais often said,
"When you know what you are doing,
you can do what you want." Do you know what you are doing as you run? In your hip joints? In your ribs?
With your arms? Your abs? Your toes? With your attention?
This workshop is open to those who compete in races and
want to reduce wear and tear and improve time, those who
used to run but it hurt too much, those who run recreationally, and those who think that running is
impossible.
The short running parts of the workshop are optional for those with injuries, or who do not
run, and the learning and
discoveries in the floor lessons (like most things Feldenkrais) can be applied to myriad aspects
of life beyond running.
Note: We recently saw a similar workshop advertised in the Chi Running system at 3 times the
cost! It's a deal.

of vitality. For more details, click here.
