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.

Partner Yoga ($20 per person - please come with a partner)
Saturday, March 3, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
With Partner Yoga we learn to practice poses and 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 of experience welcomed.
LOTUS: Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Program for Women
($200 includes materials)
with Libby Yokum
March 14, 21, 28, and April 4, 11, 18 – 5:00 to 7:00 pm
Integrating elements of mindfulness-based meditative practice with cognitive behavioral therapy, this six-week program is for women who notice that worry, stress, depressed thinking, rumination or anxiety are their frequent companions. Cultivating greater kindness in daily life and giving ourselves a break we explore how to be more fully in our life just as it is NOW. Consider the possibility that like the lotus flower we too can open from the dark muck in our lives and turn towards our goodness. This exploration will include various mindfulness meditation practices and in-depth discussion about thoughts, feelings, and sensations towards greater understanding as to how they affect so many aspects of our lives. This is an experiential approach to learning a new way of being with the joys and sorrows in our life.

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. PDF.

Dealing with Difficult Emotions
(by donation - please pre-register)
with Luis F. Sierra
Wednesday, May 23 – 5:30 to 7:00 pm
Many of us live thinking and feeling that we should always have pleasant experiences in our life, that if things aren't "great" then something must be wrong. Yet the reality for most human beings is that there are highs and lows and that emotions arise, the problem being mainly with how we respond to these emotions. The teachings and practices that come from Buddhism allow us to begin to explore the possibility that we can navigate the waters of our lives, including the difficult emotions.
