Tension Tending: Upper Body / Sunday, May 10, 2020, 3-4:30 pm PST via Zoom

This workshop will offer an opportunity to deeply unwind via nourishing, slow-moving yoga poses, myofasical release, and self-massage. We will focus on a general area of the body each class, using our greatest tool: the BREATH! Let us practice softening, yielding, surrendering, being-with, and releasing.

You will need a tennis ball or something similar, like a lacrosse ball or a pet ball. Alternatively, you can use a food item stand-in, like a potato or an onion (these can be placed in a sock). Body oil or muscle salve can be a nice addition, but is not required.

This rendition of Tension Tending will happen Sunday, May 10, 2020, 3-4:30 pm PST, via Zoom. Workshop will be offered at a sliding scale $20-$35. If this is beyond your reach at the moment, contact me directly and let's talk. You can sign up ahead of time by sending me an email at bodyceremony@gmail.com.

Yin Yoga Crystal Bowl Soundbath at Love Hive Yoga / Saturday, March 14, 2020, 7-9 pm PST

Allison Riegel will lead us through a deeply nourishing sequence of long-held Yin poses, as Kady Monroe will serenade us with luscious sounds of seven Crystal Singing Bowls. This experience is an invitation to enter into your own essence, deeply connect with your body through ethereal sound vibration; to release, soften, unwind, envision and meditate. Yin yoga is often compared to acupuncture and self massage in its capacity to move stuck energy through the body. Prepare to potentially let go of unhelpful blockages and stored tension as we enter into the realm of Being rather than doing.
