A DEEP DIVE INTO YOUR YOGA PRACTICE
with Ramsay and Liz
The Core of You: Cultivating a Strong Center
Sunday, December 7, 2:30-4:30pm
In this six-month series, we will dive deep into different practices and techniques. With a deep appreciation for the classical poses, we will focus on exploring modern variations to discuss and feel their different benefits. As teachers and students, we believe that cultivating movement literacy is crucial, developing an understanding of why we practice certain variations of poses based on our individual anatomy.
How we move matters. Equally important is understanding “the why” behind “the how”. This is crucial to maximizing the benefits and increasing the longevity of your practice. We will practice for 2 hours with a few quick breaks to workshop poses and concepts. These classes will be offered virtually with recording available if you register.

Love for Your Lower Back
with Amy
Sunday, December 14, 2:30-4pm, $35
Most humans will feel tightness, soreness or even experience an injury in the lower back. Once this happens, what next? How can I prevent future injuries or improve the way the back feels every day? How can I keep it stable and strong or mobile?
Join Amy on how to safely stretch and stabilize the lower back with therapeutic yoga movements. It’s a complex relationship between the lumbar spine, sacrum, hips and pelvis. This relationship creates our movement in the body. We will think of the lower back as a system often referred to as the “lower body brain or nervous system”.
Yoga poses with various props will be used during class. Great information to share and feel in your body. All levels welcome!
