Back to School Doesn't Mean Back to Stress: Awareness and Yoga Practice for a Healthier You!
Teen Workshop Saturday, August 30, 9a.m. - 3p.m.
$80 lunch provided

The beginning of the school year is a great time to bring compassionate acceptance into your life. Sometimes pressure from school can make us feel down on ourselves, but there are tools you can use to have the best school year - and life! - that you can possibly have! In this workshop, we will use simple awareness exercises and yoga to help us recognize how we deal with everyday pressures and, more importantly, how not to let them get you down.

Getting Off the Treadmill: Living Your Life with Compassionate Awareness
Adult workshop: Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1, 9:00a.m. - noon

Most people live their life as if on a treadmill that never stops and never arrives anywhere. Learning how to sit down, pay attention, and know how that treadmill runs your life is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones. Through awareness exercises, silence, and facilitated discussion, this workshop will give you the basic tools for living mindfully. You can reclaim your time, your schedule, and your life.
