Have you been curious about yoga and want to try but were scared or nervous to enter a group class? Do you think you need to be able to touch your toes or be a certain size in order to try yoga? Or do you think your physical condition limits your ability to attend a yoga class? Then this workshop is for YOU! Maria will debunk these myths and meet you exactly where you are. The workshop includes:

• Discussion and practice of foundational poses (asanas) with variations for your unique body
• How a typical yoga class is structured
• Props – what are they and how to use them to support you in your practice
• Breath techniques for mindfulness and relaxation (pranayama)
• How to choose the right class for you

A Therapeutic Yoga Workshop to Cultivate Self-Love and Self-Compassion

Sunday, February 9

Join Maria Hillier, Certified Yoga Therapist, for a two hour workshop designed to cultivate self-love and self-compassion through a blend of gentle and therapeutic Yin Yoga and Self Myofascial Release (self-massage), Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.  Guiding you through a session that is both heartful and mindful, we will focus on gentle movement and supported stillness along with meditation and breathing techniques to nurture the body, heart and mind.   Self-compassion will be at the heart of the session as we take time to nourish our self-awareness and self-acceptance, listening into our bodies, moving with intention and resting deeply.
