Your Center for Healthy Living, Creativity, Community, Yoga & Bodywork
2017 is off to a great start! My kids were home for the holidays and it was wonderful to have the house full of their laughter and activity again. Now that things are settling back into a quieter routine, I am turning my attention to the New Year and realizing that 2017 is already brimming with opportunities that I can't wait to share with you. From new classes and teachers to Yoga Teacher Training with Melissa Spamer, our Down Dog community is continuing to learn and grow together. Check out our new schedule of weekly yoga classes and special events and reach out any time to let me know what else we can do to support you. The possibilities are endless; here's to dreaming them into reality together! Stay Inspired ~ Kristin

Down Dog is proud to host Lotus in the Flame's 200 Hour Teacher Training under the direction of Melissa Spamer (M.A, E-RYT500, C.Ay, LMT), whose course provides the highest level of creative and progressive Yoga education in the field today. The intention of this program is not to teach one particular "style" of Yoga, but to set each person on a path of embodying Yoga and living it daily. Teachings include a full spectrum of traditional Hatha Yoga practices as well as Yoga philosophy, giving students exposure to the history, lineages, and modern developments within the world of Yoga today. The training consists of four 5 day immersions that run from 8am to 5pm each day. There will also be two weekend immersions that run from 6pm Friday through Sunday at 4pm. During the time between training modules you will have your own personal sadhana practice as well as structured assignments to fulfill your non-contact and practicum hours necessary for certification. This program runs from June 2017 - December of 2017 and is currently accepting applications - register now to reserve your spot via Melissa's website.
Practice seated, walking and guided meditation, as well as discussing the joys and challenges of practicing mindfulness in our daily lives. No prior meditation experience necessary- come try this free event!
