Open to ALL BODIES, ALL LEVELS, ALL GENDERS.

Whether you're just starting to explore movement modalities or consider yourself a seasoned yogi or a veteran athlete, this stuff will challenge you to move outside the box and into a better understanding of your body and its true abilities.

Come and surprise yourself!

We'll cover the following and then some:

Better breathing for all types of movement -- and even just for living.

Moving on and through different planes.

Transitioning more smoothly in your movements whether that be yoga, dance, walking, or lifting weights.

The biomechanics of better movement, including moving in awkward and misaligned ways ON PURPOSE.

Aging gracefully by not committing so many common user errors with your beautiful body.

Aging powerfully by learning basic, fundamental movement that will protect you from much of what we consider the "negatives of aging."

Sacred Feminine Happy Hour Study Circle, 2nd Friday, Starting in October: When God was a Woman

You know how it is with our yoga classes — there’s usually some ((cough)) talking at the beginning. And there have been days when it felt like the world was collapsing in on itself and was I ever grateful for the women in community with me who showed up for class and understood that sometimes our deepest “yoga” is talking, yelling, crying, and just being together in shelter.

There were a couple of those times when it became really clear to me that there are so many of us who need some time dedicated to deep study, thought, and sharing, so here we go: SATSANG — a spiritual study circle.

(There will be beverages but you can bring your own, and remember, we share space with a PIZZA SHOP!)

We’ll be focusing on the sacred feminine in general, but for months at a time we’ll be focused on certain texts.

For our first few months, we’ll be looking at When God was a Woman by Merlin Stone. (That’s a link to the book on Amazon, but I encourage you to order a copy through an independent bookseller, like Pressed here in Erie.)

Even if you’ve read this, you’ve probably not read it in community.

The point is to work through this stuff in a way that it settles into our bodies. By that I mean, we’ll work in a way that is meant to lead to an eventual understanding of the material that affects our daily lives and spiritual practices.

We’ll start with the abstract, otherwise, and work toward the concrete and the material.

Here’s a loose idea of the calendar for this particular book — the dates are the dates but who knows if we’ll stick to this for the pages. It might take longer.

October 11th: Introduction through chapter 2

November 8th: chapter 3 through 5

December 13th: chapter 6 through 8

January 10th: chapter 9 through 11

Fall Equinox Moon Yoga with Live Sound Healing

I don't know if it's because I am a Scorpio, Autumn-born baby, but this time of year gets me feeling all witchy/earth goddess/howling-at-the-moon. The day light changes; the color of the sky and lake gets more intense; and suddenly, I am paying even more attention than usual (which is a lot) to the moon and stars and what the birds and bees are up to.

Fall equinox is a favorite time for me, and if that's true for you, I invite you to our celebration of it with yoga, community movement, breath, intention setting, and sound healing with singing bowl magicks.

NOTE: We are a week early with our celebration because of some scheduling issues BUT that only means a WEEK EXTRA of celebration as far as I'm concerned.

What to bring: we have mats but bring your own if you like. Also bring a notebook and pen if that's your sort of thing, any crystals, talisman items that would add to your practice.
