Because we are multi-dimensional Beings, we have a vast array of archetypes within us. This series will encourage us to explore all these different Aspects of Self that reside in the various chakras, while relaxing in a meditative restorative pose.
Led by Sue Bovenizer, each week we will explore one chakra, starting with the first (base) chakra and moving on up in sequence until we reach the ultimate chakra of connection to Source and bliss. Guided visualizations and instructions about each energy center will accompany the poses. Learn more and register

When days shorten and temperatures drop, nature urges us to slow down and go inward. We need rest in order to balance the nervous system, decrease elevated stress hormones, improve mental clarity and fully heal.
Yin Yoga is a meditative approach to yoga that teaches us conscious control of relaxation. It is a body-based mindfulness approach that is suitable for all levels of students. Practicing Yin will enable you to find a deep sense of calm, get centered, and let go. Learn more and register
