Yin and Yoga Nidra
Chakra Series
with Anita Aiyar
September 15th 7:00-8:30pm
Yin and Yoga Nidra Chakra Series is back!
Join Anita in the 5th part of her curated Chakra Series.
Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues and involves a series of passive floor poses that are held for 3-5 minutes. Chakras or energy centers correspond to specific areas in the body and when in balance promote health and well-being.
This series will be broken down into targeting each energy center in the body and will work to open and promote flexibility of ligaments. It will end with Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation which will encourage a deeper exploration of body, senses and mind allowing for a nervous system reset and deep relaxation.
The fifth workshop in this series draws awareness to the vishudha, or “throat chakra” which is the center of communication and self-expression, acting as a bridge between our inner thoughts and our outer world.
The class will run for an hour and a half and will use props including bolsters, blankets and blocks.

Transformative Awareness
with Johnny Gillespie
September 26th 3:00pm - 5:30pm
When you are taking a class, the teacher will cue movements to help you better understand what you are doing. There is a deeper awareness that the teacher and the student can tap into that can transform the relationship and significantly improve the results. Whether you are a teacher or a student, understanding this awareness is transformational. This workshop is for students and teachers who want to take their understanding of human movement to the next level.
You will learn:
· A simple way to understand gravity and muscular function
· How to activate your core in every movement
· Learn to listen with your body as a sensory organ
· How to work on flexibility and strength at the same time
· How to heal injuries and prevent injuries
What to expect:
30-minute lecture followed by two hours of movement and experience. You will walk out of the workshop feeling lighter, taller, and more aware.
Since 1995, Johnny Gillespie has been a transformational leader in the fields of personal training, strength and conditioning, yoga, and meditation. His teaching combines three decades of experience that he combines into a transformative experience. You will truly never be the same after learning from him.
