Chanting Event w/ Margie, Tara, and Coleen
Saturday, February 16
One Yoga
Come and explore the ancient yogic art of chanting sacred mantras. Use the sound and silence of the voice, the breath, and the heart to create a joyful, meditative, expansive state of consciousness. Let go into the healing energy and peace of living fully in the present moment. Sit, close your eyes, still the mind, relax and enjoy--sing along, just listen, or even get up and dance as we allow ourselves to be graced by the healing vibrations of this heart-opening practice. All ages are welcome. No experience is needed. We provide handouts and information about each chant. Most events are $10.

Harmony Restorative
Saturday, February 23 | 3:30 - 5:30pm
Mary Sage | MPLS Studio | $30
Restorative yoga is practiced to reduce stress, restore health, and move the body in the direction of balance. February is a month of partnership, love and quickening into spring. It's a time to make peace with our selves (and those around us) and our bodies. This restorative workshop will focus on honoring the good by practicing poses the work around the heart center and releasing 'feuding' or negative patterns with twists and inversions. The restorative postures will nurture balance, encourage letting go and bring the body/mind into harmony for the future. We will do a short writing exercise so please bring a journal or notebook. All levels of experience are welcome.

Upper Neck & Shoulder Tension Workshop
Saturday, March 1 | 3:00 - 5:00pm
Mary Sage Syverson | MPLS Studio | $30
Release the weight of the world from your shoulders in this workshop. We’ll unwind neck and should tension and free up the space that connects the head to your heart. By ungluing bound shoulders we improve access to the channels of the heart and lungs. Not only can we free up more space, we’ll improve the circuitry for the blood to oxygenate the brain---thus boosting brain function! Postures will include back-bends, twists, and inversions. Modifications will be given to accommodate all levels of practice.
