A Deep Dive into Yoga for Depressions
A Deep Dive into Yoga for Depression: Exploring the Ancient Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine to uncover ways to shift this energy.
Whether seasonal or clinical, depression can hit hard during the cold months. Conventional treatments for depression are helpful, and obviously recommended, however, if you are looking for something to supplement for your care, yoga and the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine have a lot to offer.
Join me to learn about how these ancient wisdom traditions shed a light on how you might work within your body as well as your brain in order to shift patterns of thought & behavior.
We will start each class didactically, learning about the meridians and concepts that will guide our work. Then we will continue into a journaling exercise as response to a somatically emotional experience. We will bathe each class in breath work, movement as well as rest, and nourish depletion as well as shedding excess.

Full Body Foam Rolling -
How to do it & Why it Matters!
Many of us blow past the foam rollers at the gym, or have been curious, but aren’t quite sure about technique. Join Nancy Fallon, RYT-500 and certified Myofascial Release instructor to learn the ins and outs! We will go over specific techniques to hit muscles large and small, head to toe. We’ll also briefly discuss what’s happening chemically in the tissues as you foam roll, and why it is that this modality is so beneficial as a recovery tool.
Foam rolling has been shown to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMs), improve mobility, provide a calming effect to the nervous system, and much more! There’s also no adverse effects with foam rolling, so long as you are listening to your body.
All ability levels welcome, no previous experience necessary.

Yoga & Meditation for
Grief & Loss
Yoga & Meditation for Grief & Loss
What exactly do we do with the homeless love of grief? When someone we love passes, or when we are faced with a drastic life change, society often calls us to move on before we are ready. But just how can we form a new relationship with ourselves, with our deceased loved ones, or come to terms with our new circumstances?
During the course of this series, you will find yourself in a circle of like minded seekers and uncover the wholeness that already exists inside of your heart.
Each class will have an educational and discussion component, exploring concepts from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Yoga Philosophy to support our energy work. We will then use meditation, journaling, breath work, and movement to feel into the somatic processing of emotion as well as the spiritual components of imbalance we may struggle with in grief.

Bone Strengthening Workshop
In this workshop, Kathy Reid, and Missy Wheeler will present three modalities to focus on strengthening bones, increasing balance, and improving all-around body awareness and fitness.
First, you will learn yoga poses shown to improve bone density in those with low-density bones, osteopenia, and osteoporosis based on a 10-year study by Dr. Fishman. Second, students will explore how the addition of small weights to a yoga practice can help build muscle to keep bones strong and healthy. And finally, you will explore tai chi movements, a low-impact, weight-bearing practice to improve muscle strength and balance.
