Slow down, tune in, and relax into bliss…

Restorative Yoga is a very gentle and healing yoga practice for every-body. This deeply nurturing and calm­ing class focuses on restoring balance to the nervous and immune systems. Postures are done on the floor, completely supported by blankets, props and pillows. It is great for anything, from balancing anxiety and depression to recovering from a chronic injury or illness. This is also a great tune up for those who are well! For details and to register, contact Anjali at 793.3837 or email Anjali.

Restorative Listening:  With Jasmine Lamb

October 3 & 17, November 14, December 5

This series will combine the practice of restorative yoga poses with guided inquiry. Inquiry is the art of directing our attention within with curiosity and open awareness.
As we settle our nervous system and receive the support of the earth beneath us, we will also touch into the felt sense of a challenge or dilemma in our life and listen to our bodies innate knowing. Everyone welcome.

Partner Yoga: With Abbi Jaffe

* Gentle Yoga Series: With Jasmine Lamb

Coming Home to our Physical Presence and Well Being
Tuesdays from 4-5:15. October 5,12,19,26 and November 2,9,16, 23
All levels welcome. Drop-ins welcome.

In this series we will explore embodied movement. We will focus less on our outward form and come instead to tune our movements with breath, gravity, space, stillness, flow, and the meeting point of relationship. We will listen to our own doing and undoing.
This class will be gentle and deep, graceful and curious. It is ideal for beginning yoga students who want a safe and grounded practice to begin, and also for long time yoga students who want to revitalize the life in their practice.
Jasmine Lamb is a certified yoga teacher and a student of movement and listening. Her teaching is rooted in her own evolving daily movement practice. Her teaching style emphasizes listening deeply and trusting your own experience.

* The Art of Collapse:

Building Strength and Acceptance in Difficult Times
Workshop on November 6 from 2:00 – 5:00. $35.00

“Chaos should be regarded as extremely good news.” Chogyam Trungpa
An experiential workshop in giving up the dream and getting real. Ideal for anyone experiencing any form of collapse (illness, health concerns, job loss, grief, loss of relationships, economic instability, environmental instability) or anticipating collapse coming soon to a community or nation near you.
An afternoon in freeing our fears, finding our center, and forgetting our stories. Using movement, inquiry, and dialogue we will venture into the unknown, lie on the floor, and discover what support we have from the inside out. This will be a nurturing afternoon to explore where we are and what we need to safely fall apart. As we release old habits new and better strategies for supporting our lives and the life around us are just waiting to unfold.
To learn more & to register, contact Jasmine Lamb at 603-254-4407 and/or go to www.allislistening.com.

Jasmine Lamb works with people individually (usually by phone), and through classes, groups, and retreats. People connect with her to explore a wide variety of needs, often related to personal growth, spiritual unfolding, relationships, health and well-being, and life challenges.
She also writes a quiet blog about listening deeply, living on the earth, and loving your life. You can learn more about her work and read her blog at www.allislistening.com
