Letting GO / Letting IN ~ Yoga + Zentangle Series

Begin 2023 with intention.  

The afternoon begins with Yvonne helping you to set an intention and create a Reset Button.  Through the focused and mindful method of Zentangle, you will learn to simply focus on the pen in your hand and the marks that you make on the paper. This method of repetitive drawing is an easy way to reduce the chaos and bring calm and focus. 

I will then guide you through a yoga flow with a focus on opening the heart, setting intentions and leaving behind what no longer serves you. After we move, we settle in for a candle gazing meditation and then some yummy restorative poses to completely relax.  The meditation will combine the entrancing qualities of fire with focused awareness.  The combination of a candle gazing meditation and restorative yoga poses will provide deep relaxation, enhance memory and concentration, strengthen intuition and allow us to focus on action setting.

Let the new year begin.

Tea and light nourishment will be provided.  You will go home with your handmade reset button and a beautiful locally crafted soy candle to continue your practice throughout the year.

Please bring:

·  Yoga mat/water bottle

·  An open heart

Date: Sunday Jan 8th

Time: 1pm to 4pm
