Class
Integral Yoga Flow In-person

Atman Christopher Schardt
Integral Yoga Flow classes synchronize breath with movement through postures as a flow. In these classes there are logical sequences of breath-synchronized movements that transition between sustained poses or relaxation postures. Because of the quicker pace of a flow class, instructions are minimal during the actual flow, yet can be more detailed during other times. These classes are ideal for those with some experience in yoga, but all those with an interest in flowing in and out of poses are welcome.

Workshop
New Beginnings Writing Group

Susan Ford, C-IAYT, RYT-500
In these times of great change we will explore a path toward meeting ourselves where we are to give voice to all that matters! As we live with interruptions and chaos, we can deepen into the roots of our creativity, encouraging the river of expression to flow. Beginners and seasoned writers are welcome, as we explore various forms of writing: poetry, prose, short stories, memoir, among others. Through writing exercises using everyday life, place, family, images, poetry of others, while using pranayama, meditation and the guidance of the Sutras we will build a body of work. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace.
Tools we will Practice:
• The Art of Paying Attention
• Acceptance
• Play
• Writing from the Heart
Together we will combine self-care with our writing and discover what a writing practice means to us and how it may take shape.
