Saturday Yoga Workshop 10 am-12 pm  $40

This workshop is open to all levels of practitioners. Yoga poses that expand the chest area and open the front body relieve tension stored in the surrounding muscles and allow the body to send off natural painkillers. They lift your mood and create space around the heart region, allowing for growth in compassion and a feeling of connection. Backbends open up the front of the body and are often called “heart openers and mood elevators.” Front body opening poses provide space in the lungs to breathe more deeply, which can bring calmness to your mind, and they work well to ward off the last of the winter woes!  In this workshop, we will approach backbends safely in a methodical way. We will use various props to promote confidence, maintain control and compassionately support each practitioner regardless of whether you can push up to a full wheel pose.
