Happy Holidays ! December is here,.... the last sacred moments to another year that went so quickly. A year filled with profound changes including many that are difficult to grasp.
With the onset of winter,.... change is apparent. It is now time for us to step into those changes as well.... To look inside, to expand our awareness into the spaces between thoughts, to experience the consciousness that is the essence of everything and everyone.
The Shop has several changes coming up as well !
Melanie is moving her class from Thursday to Tuesday's at 12 pm ! The same magic that she has been sharing at the Shop for Decades will continue to inspire and help us move to a space where we can have a more direct experience of the magic within.
In addition.......
Eloise had gotten an amazing opportunity in New York and will be moving there this month. Her class on Monday nights will be replaced by a new offering taught by Sheri !
Sheri had also been teaching at the Shop for decades and brings with her something truly special. She will be teaching classes on Sunday mornings, Monday nights, and Wednesday night. Each class an offering
Collene on Sunday nights will also be continuing her offering of Yin Yoga at The Shop and has also expanded that offering to include an online class at... Let each of step into these changes by expanding our awareness into something so much more then our minds and our bodies. Each of us,.... we are so much more then that.
It is said if we want to establish change that we must be the change that we want to see in the world. To do that we must first and foremost "Know ourselves" This is the great inquiry of the spiritual path; Who am I ? Be inspired, turn inward, and see what grace can unveil.
This Winter continue your personal inquiry at The Shop
December 21st we will have another magical Solstice ceremony for the shortest day and longest night of the year. Last year we had over 90 participants so I encourage you to go to event bright on the link in the flyer below to save your place(s).
Hope to see you at THE SHOP soon. :)

Yin Yoga
Softening the fascia, bones, joints, and tendons as we go on an inward journey with Dr. Colleen Lindstrom, DC. This Yin Yoga class is a slow, quiet, insightful journey into yourself.
Come for the sacred experience of Yin (The Divine Feminine) Yoga with your guide, Dr. Colleen Lindstrom, DC. This class is an inward journey to soften the fascia and tendons and make space in the joints, bones, and spine. Yin has three principles: First, come into the pose to an appropriate depth. Second, relax and remain still. Third, hold the pose for time. These pillars allow for the safety and opening of these tissues. Be prepared to release blockages and increase energy flow. Adding flexibility to your body and life is always a good idea.
Stretch, Relax and Restore
Restorative Yoga is a type of Active Relaxation. This all-level class introduces techniques to reduce tension, relieves stress, and brings balance to the nervous system. While in poses, using props help take pressure off the physical body and allows the mind to surrender into a deep state of relaxation. The benefits of practicing Restorative Yoga on a regular basis can lower your blood pressure, support your fast paced lifestyle, and nurture the tranquil you.

Anyone, no matter your level of experience can benefit from yoga.

In certain cases, you may want to get the advice of your physician before undertaking any new physical practice. Any yoga practice can embrace a beginner stance for those who don’t consider themselves to be flexible, and, over time and with a consistent practice that condition and your overall flexibility will improve.
