Soothing Sound Bath Sunday Dec 2024

Location: Lighthouse Yoga Center
In-Person

7-8:30pm, in-person
Explore your personal relationship with sound, mood, health, and
body. Sound healing is an ancient technique used around the world, from
the gongs and bowls of Tibet to the Salish Drum Circles of the Pacific
Northwest. Advances in aural science have allowed scientists to
study the impact certain frequencies and tones have on cellular
structure and biorhythmic processes. Increasingly, sound healing is
employed as a holistic tool to calm, repair, and heal. We begin
our monthly sessions by setting a personal intention (sankalp) and
dimming the lights. We are guided through meditation to center ourselves
before we drift into a sonic bath. Every month, we will employ
frequencies and tones to aid cell repair, reduce anxiety, and manage
stress.

Nature & Nidra: Transitioning from Fall to Winter 2024
Dates: Saturday, December 07, 2024
Location: Lighthouse Yoga Center
In-Person
$30 general/$25 members
2- 3:30 pm, in-person
Just in time for the winter solstice! Join us as we give ourselves an opportunity to reflect on the autumn harvest and acclimate to the silence of winter. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation to take us through the pancha maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving us with a sense of profound relaxation. We will get comfortable in the studio and use props to offer ourselves space to explore what we need at the moment. A deep nidra calms the nervous system, reduces stress and promotes better healing - a wonderful way to let go of what no longer serves us. We will allow ourselves stillness to process the tumult of this fall and lean into the winter stillness. Our intention is to align with natural rhythms and engage authentically with rest. This is a truly self-loving way to conclude your Sunday.

Harshly judging one's range of motion is one of the greatest sources of unnecessary suffering in many people’s yoga practice. The asanas (poses) were designed to move the regenerative and healing life force. To do that effectively in yoga, we must understand our own (or our students') unique structures and explore when we can safely move deeply into a posture or when to acknowledge limitations with respect.
This functional anatomy workshop explores the 10 muscle groups and the 14 major joint segments of the body that account for most of our yoga postures. For each joint intersection, we will perform analysis and range of motion tests on ourselves, ask specific questions about the key sensations, compare with each other, and demonstrate how each person will express particular poses based on their unique anatomic make up.

Yin Yoga utilizes muscularly relaxed poses, practiced on the floor, that are held for 3-5 minutes in order to safely and systematically stimulate chemical regenerative responses in tissues, particularly of fascia, ligaments, and within joint capsules. Through modest traction and compression, one trains the structural tissues to reduce the process of contracture that shortens tissues and can cause degeneration, adhesions, pain, and decreased range of motion. Yin Yoga's methodical and subtle approach provides lubrication, mobility, and a sense of lightness to the body's structure, energetics, and thus to the nervous system, the mind and emotions.
