Women’s Summer Solstice Workshop with Myrna & Corinne
June 3, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Sunday, June 3, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Please join Corinne Peterson and Myrna Weinman for an afternoon of NIA, Yoga, and Yoga Nidra in celebration of Summer! During these warm months, everything is growing and alive, soaking in the vibrant, radiant, life-giving energy of the sun – including us! Through movement and meditation, we enter into summer’s rhythm. We take this time out to rest, let go of life’s concerns and just be in the flow. Please join us to replenish your heart and spirit in the warm embrace of this sacred space we create in community! All women are welcome – bring your friends, sisters, mothers – all those women you hold dear! No experience necessary. Please bring whatever you need for comfort and support to lie on the floor for yoga nidra (mat, blaket, pillows…). The practice can also be done sitting in a chair. We look forward to seeing you then!
What is Nia? Nia’s philosophy is: “Through Movement We Find Health.” Based on the idea that exercise should feel good inside and out, Nia is a somatic movement practice that incorporates matrial arts, dance arts and healing arts. As an ongoing practice, Nia promotes mindfulness, holistic fitness and well-being. Nia empowers people of all shapes and sizes to connect to their body, mind, emotions and spirit by paying attention to sensation. Expect simple repetitive choreography combined with whole body movement that is completely adaptable and can be done from a chair.
What is Yoga Nidra? iRest® Yoga Nidra is a form of guided mindfulness meditation. It is a systematic process for leading the body and mind into receptive states of relaxation and deep presence. Through this process we are able to access inner healing and the pure awareness of being. Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool to help eliminate stress, overcome insomnia, solve problems, resolve trauma, and neutralize anxiety, fear, anger and depression. It is a process we can use to explore our life experiences and enter into a deeper connection with all that is.
