Body-Positive Yoga (formerly Curvy Yoga)
6-week series
​with Josephine Kelly

Saturdays 11-12:30 pm | April 13-May 18 - OPEN FOR DROP-INS! $20
Body Positive Yoga is yoga instruction specific to people in larger bodies, but all body sizes are welcome in my classes. Through intentional sequencing, strategic uses of props, and creative variations, yoga is made accessible to people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. The guiding philosophy is that there is no “wrong” way to have a body, and that all bodies are capable of experiencing the benefits of a yoga practice. Yoga can change to suit the body you have today, and the pose can be made to fit you, not the other way around.

The Alchemy of Surrender: The Yoga of Receptivity
​with Nicole Becker

4-part series - 6:30-8 pm - May 6, 8, 20, 22
The Path of Yoga reminds us that by surrendering our grasping agenda we will be reunited with our true strength, which is right here all the time. This series of mini-workshops will serve as an introduction to the alchemical understanding of embodied Yogic practices informed by Ayurveda, Tantra & Bhakti Yoga. Each session will include lecture, discussion and practice. Although a more complete picture will be seen if you can attend all 4 classes, you may also attend individual sessions and enjoy a deep practice.
