Restorative
Yoga ($30) Restorative Yoga is a gentle and healing practice where the body is held in different poses while you gently let go. Using blankets, bolsters and props, the body remains in the poses without any effort, creating a quiet, soothing and deeply relaxing experience. After this workshop, you will feel like you took a mini-vacation. No prior Yoga experience required, suitable for all levels and particularly for those looking for a deeply restful and relaxing experience. Mindfulness-based
Stress Reduction This six-week course is based on the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Stress Reduction Clinic. Mindfulness is a way of being fully aware of the present as it unfolds, tuning into breath, and learning to experience life more fully, moment to moment. People have found MBSR helpful in coping with a range of conditions, including personal stress, pain and chronic illness. Please call to pre-register. OCTOBER Mindfulness-based

description Sept. 20] NOVEMBER Partner
Yoga ($25) With Partner Yoga we learn to practice poses and pranayama (breathing practices) in a playful manner, through the giving and accepting of the body’s weight, creating a Hatha Yoga experience that doubles the benefits for each partner. Share the fun with someone who you feel comfortable touching and laughing with. The goal of the workshop is to deepen the experience of the poses with the help of the other’s body so that both partners attune themselves the other’s comfort in the poses. All levels ofexperience welcomed. Please come with a partner. Restorative
Yoga ($30) [see description Sept. 20] DECEMBER Take
a Stand ~ Standing poses allow us to explore balance, foundation and strength. They invigorate the body and focus the mind, building from a grounded awareness of where we are. All levels of experience welcome. The
Practice of Generosity [Dana/Donation] According to the Buddhist teachings generosity is central to our capacity to cultivate a generous spirit and maintain an open heart. At its most basic level, generosity (Dana in Pali) means giving freely without expecting anything in return, practiced simply out of compassion, good will, or the desire for someone else's well-being. We will explore what this means for our own growth and development, particularly at a time of year that is synonymous with being generous Restorative
