Yoga From the Belly: Moving and Resting From the Core with Cara Judea Alhadeff 
Dates: Sun 12/7/2008
Time:  3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Cost: $45 preregistration, $50 day of
Join Cara Judea Alhadeff, therapeutic yoga specialist from San Francisco for an afternoon of belly awareness. We will explore how to access our core strength in order to stabilize and release our shoulders, hips, and minds. By discovering the strength that already exists within, we can begin to dislodge emotional habitual patterns that may be impeding our ability to make clear, courageous choices. By focusing on aligment and breath, a playful self-awareness invites a sense of ease in challenging yoga poses--and in our lives.
