YOGA 101: A 4 WEEK INTRO TO YOGA FOR BEGINNERS
Thursdays September 17th, 24th & October 1st, 8th; 6:45-8pm
Interested in Yoga but feel intimidated to start? Join us for a 4 week introduction to Yoga for Beginners, where we will start at the beginning with a background of what Yoga is--including the philosophical principles which are the core of the practice, basic postures, alignment, modifications for beginners, breath work and meditation techniques, and studio etiquette. We will slow down and break down the practice in a format that will allow you to ask questions, giving you a solid foundation before you ever step foot into a group class.
$120 for 4 Week Yoga 101 Series
*Includes your first 30 Days of Unlimited Classes membership, so you can try some classes either t=during the series or once it is completed.
Immersive Sound Journey with Alex Ballew
Friday, September 25th; 7:30-8:45pm
Join us for a special sound bath with Alex Ballew. The room will be filled with deep tones from the gong, vibrations from didgeridoos, singing bowls, rain sticks, bells, drums and more. Experience the sounds of rivers, the ocean, wind and earth elements. Drift into the stillness below the mind and access the parasympathetic nervous system for an opportunity to let go, rejuvenate, feel grounded and become deeply relaxed. Participants have an opportunity for emotional revelation, a chance to connect with themselves and ultimately tap into their innate ability for self healing.
Alex Ballew is the founder of Secret River Sounds. He is a connector, artist, musician and community leader. His passion for holistic well being combined with his natural drive to bring people together is what makes his offerings so potent and memorable. When it comes to the realm of vibrational sound healing, Alex has conducted countless events and retreats. In addition to training with globally renowned facilitators in the space, he's also booked and managed tours for multiple international world class sound facilitators. Alex Ballew offers a premier gong experience and his multi instrumental approach blends techniques and tools from different corners of the earth. His mission is to remind you of your power and share joy and love with the world.
***Props are important for this experience. Participants are encouraged to bring pillows, blankets, bolsters and cushions. Eye masks are a nice touch as well. You want to feel like you're laying on a cloud and it cannot be overdone.
Registration Fee: $30 (75 minute session)
