Mudra Meditation
10:45-12:45 pm
Cost: $25.
Have you noticed that there are some hand positions that are widely and often
unconsciously used, such as a speaker placing the tips of the fingers of his or
her hands together while being thoughtful? Or the nearly
universal prayer position of the hands? There is intuitive wisdom in these
gestures. In the yoga tradition, they are called mudras, and they guide energy
flow, balance the nervous system and brain, enable focus, and affect mood. This
workshop will give you the opportunity to learn more about mudras and explore
their effect on you.

Breath & Meditation 101
10:45-12:45 pm
Cost: $25
This workshop is
for beginners, or for those students who feel they have not yet found their
breath. We will learn a bit about the physiology of the breath, tune our
attention to the subtleties of the breath we have likely not noticed before, and
begin to experience the joy of a full exhalation. We will end the workshop by
using our awareness to step toward mediation. You will leave with some simple
practices you can use at home to continue to befriend your breath and move
toward meditation.

RESTORATIVE YOGA WORKSHOP
12:00-3:00 pm
Cost: $30.00 pre-registration, $40.00 at the
door
 Step away from the holiday
madness and spend an afternoon visiting your “good friend” your breath. Lounge
in luxurious postures supported by props and travel inside yourself for peace
and quiet. This introspective, gentle practice is appropriate for people with
all levels of yoga experience. Research illustrates the deleterious effect which
stress has on our health. This class will provide you with the opportunity to
give yourself some rest and relaxation, to become fascinated with the ongoing
miracle that is your embodiment and to learn practical tools you can use at home
to help you stay centered, healthy and at ease in your life. Love, kindness and
respect toward ourselves can lead to deep recuperation and healing as well as
prevent imbalance and illness.
Instructor: Patricia Wickman
