Restorative Yoga Workshop for the Holiday Headache
"Your compassion is incomplete if it does not include yourself." -Buddah
SUNDAY- 12/12/2010
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The holiday season is here again. The time of year when we make a bigger effort to connect with family and friends. But with all the holiday events, gift buying, cooking, cleaning and planning it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Giving away so much of our energy and time can leave us feeling depleted. Restorative yoga can recharge your batteries and bring you inner peace. Restorative yoga focuses on relaxing the body in restful poses with the use of several props. The practice restores a sense of deep calm by turning on the nervous system's natural healing mechanisms. It helps to lower heart rate, blood pressure and stimulate the immune system to keep the endocrine system operating healthily. Treat yourself this holiday season with two hours of live ambient music, essential oil aromatherapy, and delicious yummy relaxation. Seva-To serve ourselves is a part of serving others.$35
JOIN HEREYour Teacher: Evangeline Houlihan
Stepping into my first yoga class in 2008, I was hooked for life! I love how the practice makes me feel, physically, mentally and spiritually. Yoga brought me the experience
of balance and strength but most of all equanimity to my whole being, something that I had to share with others.
My open and gentle flow classes are both breath centered and a fluid vinyasa of Hatha yoga that is designed to stretch and strengthen the body with a soothing restorative at the end. The restorative/yoga nidra classes I teach are designed to relax and quiet the mind leaving the student calm, grounded and happy. Using the valuable tools of
yoga, one can burn out the impurities trapped in the physical and emotional body bringing you to a state of oneness.
