Are you looking to deepen your practice and awaken your inner soul? Ready to dig a little deeper into your personal and internal point of view? Exploring the Yamas and Niyamas during this 5-week book study will allow you to find the unique and vibrant light that lives within. Through the self-exploration of yoga’s ethical practice, you will learn practical insights of classical yoga, gain self-awareness, cultivate deep wisdom, and find joyfulness on and off the mat.

During this study of The Yamas and Nyamas by Deborah Adell expect to take home assigned chapters and reflection work. We will meet once per week within a safe space to deepen our understanding of specific chapter topics. During our time together, we will get the opportunity to share thoughts, feelings, and ideals about each chapter with fellow yogis. This open discussion will help deepen, outline, and apply guidelines that the book references for a healthy more fulfilling life. We will engage in a 30-minute yoga flow that reflect the topics of our reading and studying during each session.

$65.00 pre-registration for all 5 weeks or $15.00 drop in.
There will be no class on March 10 due to a studio schedule conflict.

NOTES:
Students area responsible for purchasing the book ahead of time in order to read the first few assigned chapters and allow time for processing the information. The Yamas and Nyamas by Deborah Adell is available on Amazon for $11.66 or you can contact your local bookstore.

Yoga Nidra is a highly relaxed and deep state of meditation that progresses through the many stages of the mind. Yoga Nidra, meaning yogic sleep, is a journey through stillness and mindfulness in order to gain a greater sense of clarity, calmness, and serenity. In this deep sleep meditation your conscious mind will gently guide you through thought patterns, emotions, images, and sensations that can bring you to a higher form of understanding the Self. You will travel past the waking stage, beyond the dreaming stage, and into the realm of the deep sleep stage, yet you remain awake and conscious. Yoga Nidra is said to be five times more restorative than regular sleep. You will leave this class with a renewed sense of purpose and increased awareness.

This class meets once a month.

Moon Circles are held on or near the new moon every month. These circles are an opportunity to come together to create community. We develop a closer relationship to each other, to the cycles of nature, and to our own wild souls. We come together to remember that we as women are magic, and that we are more powerful together in sisterhood than we are alone.

These circles are not associated with a singular path or religion, but rather, an inclusive coming together with women from all paths. We all come from different spiritual/cultural backgrounds and gather around the ideas of: Sisterhood (having each other’s backs, empowering one another), a respect for the earth (wildness, turning to nature as a teacher) & co-creation (the understanding that just as we co-create our experience in circle, so do we co-create life on earth). We also tend to be a heart-centered bunch, with laughter & tears welcomed!

A New Moon marks the beginning of a new cycle when the moon is empty and receptive and full of potential. This is the optimal time to plant seeds of intentions for what you wish to manifest in your life.

At our circles you can expect some or all of the following:
Guided Meditation
Group check-in
Moon magic & wisdom teachings
Intention Setting based on the theme of the month
Ritual/Magical Exercise
Creative Visualization
Journal prompts
Mantra or song
Astrological Overview of current cycle

“There is something so powerful when women come together to support each other on their journey, in the hopes and dreams. We are healed, we are nurtured, we feel comforted and understood. Moreover, when you share sacred space together you magnify the power of your intentions and you energetically create a web of support for not only your circle of women friends but with women everywhere.”
