HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you SO SO much for the most spectacular year. 
It has been so fun and such a honor to yoga with you!

This year just may be even bigger and better!

Three workshops in Jan and one day retreat!

Fight or Flight
A arm balance and self discovery workshop. Arm balances are a great way to spice up your practice as well as lighten it, physically and mentally. They teach us quickly how to get out of our own way and go for the gold. Anything is possible! With this playful approach to adding arm balancing into your practice you will also learn where you hold back and be in a safe environment to experiment, test the limits and play! Whether you have never tried a arm balance or fly all the time this workshop is sure to be fun and offer some new perspectives.

Fight or Flight will be at Shefa Yoga on Jan 18th @2pm
And at Bainbridge Yoga House on Jan 31st 1pm
$30

Yoga Snow & Wine
Bundle up and spend a day outdoors playing in the snow! Separate from your home and routine, to gain a sense of serenity and calmness. Explore the softness of the snow and the contrasting light against the forest. Start your day with a grounding yoga practice indoors. Afterwards, ascend towards the mountains for a lovely beginner/intermediate trek through the forest. End the day, at a local winery (Elsom Cellars) for a glass of wine or hot drink with your new friends and sense of accomplishment.
 Objectives:
Get outdoors in the winter environment
Gain a sense of serenity
Building community while being physically active
Tasting a piece of local history
