Restorative Yoga with Essential Oils
Restorative Yoga with Essential Oils Sunday July 30th 6:00-7:30pm Cost: $20 **Spots limited! Pre-registration required** Restorative Yoga is considered the “antidote to stress.” A way to truly melt away the tension in your shoulders, back, and hips built up by chronic stress and general tensions created as we move throughout day. Essential oils have a healing effect mentally, physically, and emotionally. When inhaled through the nose, tiny nerves send an immediate signal to the brain and go straight to work on the systems that moderate our minds and bodies. When applied to the skin, their healing components are absorbed into the bloodstream by the pores and hair follicles. This 90min. class will begin with gentle movements infused with deep breath, then sinking into restorative yoga postures where every curve of the body is completely supported by props and enjoyed for 10-15 minutes. While in each pose you will be guided through meditation and breath awareness for the body and mind to sink into a complete state of relaxation and enjoy the smell of the oils, as well as them gently massage into your neck, hands, and feet. Please wear comfortable clothes. This class is great for ALL LEVELS. Teacher: Jessica Bowles, E-RYT 500 Jessica has been practicing yoga and meditation since 1996, receiving her 230hr RYT training through Bodhi Tree Yoga School in Charlotte NC and her 500hr RYT from Asheville Yoga Center.

Ashtanga Yoga: A traditional practice to create a strong body Level I / II (All Levels) 6wk series: Wednesdays 5:00-6:30pm June 28th - August 2nd Cost: $75 Ashtanga is an ancient system of yoga that unites breath, focus points, and postures to create a concentrated meditative self practice. The practice is done with a set series of postures learned gradually over a period of time, in vinyasa style, creating internal heat to purify the body, improving circulation, for strong body and a calm mind. This class will sometimes deviate from the tradional sequence of the practice so come with an open mind and heart. ** Appropriate for someone new to the practice or those who are looking to refine or recommit to their practice. Lisa Tendler Lisa has been practicing yoga since the late 80’s, studying with the founders of Jivamukti yoga in NYC,, as well as Iyengar teachers, therapeutics practices, Yin practitioners, and Ashtanga teachers in India, such as founder Pattabi Jois. Being a long time yoga practitioner she has come to love and value meditation as one of the most important aspects of practice, because when meditation and breath merge with yoga postures and life….this is when true awakening begins! The simplicity to inhale and exhale and be present for all that is now and for all that is coming.!
