Practices for Peace Workshop Sunday December 6, 1-3:30p, $25
Are you ready to make a shift? Times are so challenging and it feels like every week there's another disturbing story in the news. I get how hard it feels. I'm feeling it too.
A few years ago our world was filled with a lot of violence and uncertainty. So, I created this practice to help us stay grounded and stand in love.
Cause when the world feels crazy, it's natural to want to run and hide. My experience, though is that we need to stand in love and radiate peace.
Join me for a two hour practice that is so yummy, you will feel it ripple into every part of your life for weeks. We'll focus on heart openers and standing poses
This class is for you, regardless of your experience level, age or flexibility. Grab your best friend and join us online.
All you need is a yoga mat and an empty wall for Legs Up The Wall for this gentle, contemplative practice. Email mel@ayogikitchen.com with questions.
