Like painting or playing an instrument, releasing cumulative stress is a skill that can be honed through practice. This weekend retreat is an immersion into gentle mind-body practices to release muscular tension, calm the nervous system, digest emotional distress, and de-clutter the mind. Expect very gentle stretching and breath-based movement, guided progressive relaxations, personal journaling, mindful group sharing, and indoor/outdoor contemplative practices. Excerpts from the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. will offer a reflection on the power of practicing care for ourselves as a skillful means to deepen our sensitivity and attentiveness to others and the world. Held at the beautiful Arboretum. Registration opens on December 20th.
Limited to 12 participants. Advance registration required.

Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing deep relaxation. In this workshop, a sequence of very gentle tension-relieving stretches for neck, shoulders, and low back are followed by resting restorative poses. The session culminates in a 40-minute guided lying-down meditation and progressive relaxation practice. Yoga Nidra is an evidence-based therapeutic tool that can improve mood, sleep and memory, harness the body’s natural healing processes, and reduce anxiety, stress, and fatigue. We all know that the holiday season can be stressful for a number of reasons. Therefore, every year I offer a discount on Yoga Nidra sessions. I feel this can help us approach holiday rituals with more mindfulness and nurturing toward ourselves, and that it also encourages participants to share the practice with family and friends. Please enjoy two sessions for $30 or one session at the standard price. You may gift these sessions to yourself or to someone you love (gift certificates can be mailed by request). Your 2 prepaid sessions may either be used during the holiday season or for ANY future Yoga Nidra workshop in 2020 (which I offer monthly in Hendersonville and in Weaverville). You may also choose to use one prepaid session for yourself and one to bring a friend..

Yoga Nidra is a guided lying-down exercise that induces full-body relaxation and strong states of awareness. Each session will begin with very gentle tension-relieving stretches for neck, shoulders and low back, followed by reclining “restorative” poses with soothing live music. The session culminates in a 45-minute Yoga Nidra experience. The various elements of the workshop taken together can harness the body’s natural healing processes and reduce anxiety and fatigue. These practices are highly accessible, ideal for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, and require only an ability to get down onto the floor and back up again unassisted. Seated stretches can be done with the support of a chair if needed. Mats and other props will be supplied or you may bring your own. Limited to 12 participants. Registering in advance is required. $24 Member / $29 Non-member
