Taught by Charlene Bradin and Betsy Ceva on Friday, September 24th, 6-8:30pm

This peaceful Moving Into Restorative Yoga & Meditation Evening begins with a Hatha Yoga practice, moving through gentle postures to soften the body. Transitioning into Restorative Yoga, students will have the opportunity to open, reflect, and to receive the benefits of complete relaxation. We will end with a guided meditation focusing on the natural mantra of breath. This workshop is appropriate for students of all ages, sizes and experience, and beneficial for those needing a more gentle approach to yoga, students healing from injury, and anyone looking to soften the body or balance an active Yoga practice.

Fee: $30.

Space is limited to 17 students. Please register early to reserve your place. To find out more email us: info@birchwoodcenter.com.

Saturday July 10th, 2-5pm  Fee:$40

The 21st century has brought a new awareness about our relationship to the environment, to healing and to each other. But despite that, we are still faced with a rigid and paralyzing image of female beauty in this country that excludes the majority of women. Rather than use our precious time and wise minds towards moving the collective dialogue forward, many women are taking up time trying to keep up with an impossible aesthetic ideal and punishing ourselves when it can’t be met.

Sometimes the body becomes and obstacle to spirit rather than the vehicle for spirit. In this workshop we will challenge participants to take a good look at how we, as women, define ourselves by how we look rather than how we feel and who we truly are. Through the use of yoga philosophy, mantra, breath and yoga asana we will explore what it means to be embodied and begin to redefine our vision of beauty, body and our true selves.
