LOVING KINDNESS WORKSHOP
w/ Rebecca Murawski
Saturday March 4th | 11:30am-1pm
In this workshop, we will explore the radiant lightness of Loving Kindness Meditation combined with physical movement, mindful breath and thoughtful reflection. Loving Kindness meditation is an elegant practice that offers the chance to reunite with love of self and feel the energy of that love expand to all living things. I will guide you through the meditation and offer you space and time to be with your experience. We will then carry the energy of Loving Kindness through our movement and breath, then take time to reflect through journaling and holding sacred space with one another. Please bring your usual yoga class items along with your journal and something to write with.
REGISTERTHE ART OF HANDS ON ASSISTS
w/ Naomi Gold 1000RYT
April 14th through 16th | Times Vary
In this course you will learn structural anatomy, functional alignment and how to look at bodies without bias to safely and appropriately use your hands to help a diverse range of students learn more about their unique physical alignment in yoga postures. In this course, Naomi will teach you a comprehensive yet accessible technique for how to visually assess students' postures from the ground up, while communicating with them throughout the process to develop an interactive approach to providing successful hands-on assists in public and private yoga classes.
Learn Naomi's expert technique in assisting forward folds, backbends and twists (both seated and standing) with in-depth time spent assessing different body types and actually practicing the hands on techniques. You will also develop skill in using props such as blocks, straps and blankets to support your assists.
This course counts towards 20 hours of Yoga Alliance CEU. In addition to 15 hours together in person at Detroit Yoga Lab, you will receive access to a 5 hour virtual course for 6 months that includes videos of several of the techniques we will practice in person.
REGISTERRelax + Restore
w/ Erin
Second Sundays, 5:30 - 6:30pm In studio
Relax + Restore is the perfect antidote for a busy life of multi-tasking and achieving. Learn how to consciously relax your body and mind through restorative postures propped with blankets, bolsters, and blocks to promote a sense of ease and comfort so your muscles can deeply relax and you can consciously let go. Your mind will become calmer, more present, and less reactive and your body will release tension and stress.
Save My Spot!SPRING EQUIONX YOGA NIDRA
w/ Rebecca Murawski
Sunday March 19th | 7:00pm
Spring is a time of rebirth and growth in which nature rouses from its slumber and the landscape is once again filled with the brilliance of life. Within us also lies a spectacular brilliance but sometimes it is masked by feeling tired, rundown and stressed. Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that uses guided relaxation cues to create a space in which these stressors can diminish and we can notice the beauty of our own inner landscape, to honor the presence of peace and stillness within all while restoring the body, mind and senses.
REGISTERLETS GROW: PLANT + YOGA SWAP
w/ Imani Smith
Sunday April 30th | 11:30- 1:30pm
Gather with a community of plant lovers as we exchange our favorite plants and cuttings. You can bring one or more plants but please make sure they are free of pest, root rot or anything that can make their transition to their new home unmanageable. If you are bringing cuttings we ask that you store them properly in a paper towel and plastic bag or in a glass jar if able. Baby plants are definitely welcomed and encouraged!
Each plant you bring should have the name attached to it with a nice little note of your choice, something special people can cherish along with their new plant.
We will have a 45-minute yoga session before our plant swap, guided by Imani Smith, a plant mama to over 30 cactus and succulents. Come dressed comfortable and ready to plant some seeds!
Let’s have fun, talk about plants and watch our eyes turn green.
