With Sherry Maliken
iRest® Yoga Nidra meditation is a modern-day secular, western adaptation of the ancient meditative practice of Yoga Nidra. It is a gentle form of self-inquiry, which has been shown to effectively reduce anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, chemical dependency, and PTSD. It also has the ability to increase our health, resilience, and well-being. In fact – experiencing this practice can feel like 2-3 hours of deep rest or sleep. For some, it is a total re-set!

Ever wondered why some Kundalini yogis wear white and grow out their hair while others wear burgundy and shave their heads? What is a Kundalini anyway, and why do some consider it dangerous? Why are so many schools of yoga led by men? What is up with all the scandals in the yoga community? Why is the word Tantra associated with sex? This course can help.

Ever find yourself doodling in a meeting? Come join us for an afternoon of calm drawing and gentle focus.
Drawing and coloring can be a wonderful medium to focus the mind and cultivate a meditation practice. This workshop is ideal for those of us who are fidgety, visual learners, or just the curious.
Participants are invited to bring sketch paper, journals and art supplies to create. We will come together in peaceful community and center ourselves with breath, focusing on our sacral chakra. We will each select a mandala, mantra, yantra, or shape that calls to us, and create on paper as a wonderful way to cultivate dharana (flow).

Online In-Person
$108 general/ $96 members
6:30-7:45pm, online and in-person
With Megan Davis
Back pain is one of the most common injuries/complaints. Much of our pain comes from misuse and overuse of particular muscles and poor posture. Yoga provides an opportunity to work the body differently and recreate patterns that support healthy posture and alignment.
In each class of this series, we will work on different strategies to stretch and gently strengthen the muscles of the back and improve our core stability postural habits to support good sitting and standing alignment. This means we’ll be working on foot and knee alignment, hip stability, and shoulder and head position. We will be doing some traditional asana plus exercises and sequences from other movement traditions.

Nature & Nidra: Transitioning from Spring to Summer
Dates:
Saturday, June 03, 2023
Location:
Lighthouse Yoga Center
In-Person
$48 general/$39 members
2:00 to 4:30 pm, in-person
Join us as we shift from the spring, the season of rebirth, to summer, the season of action. We will practice a short energizing pranayama and asana set, followed by a yoga nidra. Nidra is guided meditation which takes you through the pancha maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving you with a sense of enoughness. There is no wrong way to practice Nidra. We will get comfortable in the studio and use props to offer ourselves space to explore whatever we need in the moment. Nidra promotes deep rest and relaxation, calms the nervous system, reduces stress and promotes better healing - a wonderful way to spend your Saturday afternoon.
