Body Awareness Class via Zoom
Most Mondays from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.
All fitness levels, ages and genders are welcome!
Body Awareness is a mind/body fusion class designed to teach you to more fully inhabit your body; to be mindful of your posture, alignment and breath; and to bring greater strength to your core body and spirit. Class includes exercises from yoga, Pilates & physical therapy, as well as balance, breath, and deep relaxation.
Robin Detmer (physical therapist and shamanic practitioner) leads it with a keen understanding of proper alignment and a heart for slowing down, body gratitude, and doing what feels good and useful in your body.

Yoga & Meditation with Cari Lyn via zoom
Rest, Reflection, Recuperation
‘Tis the season to spend time being with those unfashionable things; slowing down, quietude, rest, sleep.
‘Tis the season for noticing how the inhale and the exhale happen automatically.
‘Tis the season for trusting in the process and knowing that we are endowed with the instinct to heal.
‘Tis the season for going within, vanishing from sight and allowing our root system to rejuvenate after the seasons of blooming and harvest.
‘Tis the season for restoration.
Will you join me in resolving to rest and heal?
