Gather with us on the darkest night of the year with the light in our hearts to set our intentions for what is to come. In eastern philosophy the number 108 is considered a number that represents a complete cycle and is the ultimate end of an event or phenomenon. So, for this reason it is common to do 108 rounds of something meaningful to you on auspicious occasions.
As a community, we will practice 108 Sun Salutations to honor this powerful ritual and tradition. We practice this repetition with focus and intention. Just as any repetitive task in life can lead us to boredom and restlessness, we can learn how to come back to our intention and physically work mindfully and smarter, rather than harder, which are all great lessons for ourselves as we move into a new year. We will finish with a brief meditation letting the lessons we learn on our mat this day resonate within us.
You don't have to practice all 108 Sun Salutations, your presence is enough. All- Levels welcome. Class passes may be used or drop-in rates apply.
True shifts in life take time and intention. In this 3-hour intensive, Transformational Life Coach, Amy Kuchan, will use meditation to guide participants toward their true, heart-based desires. Attendees will identify their most meaningful life intentions, discuss common obstacles to success and explore opportunities to breakthrough. If desired, participants will dive deeper into their intentions and blocks with Amy personally. Attendees will leave with a clear vision of 2019 and practices to support a lifetime of growth.
This workshop will follow a 3-hour intensive format. Please bring a journal and pen.

The first Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa is called Yoga Cikitsa, or yoga therapy. This Primary Series is a set sequence of postures linked by breath and systematized by Sri Pattabhi Jois in 1927. Jois created this series to purify and heal the body from the inside out. Every Power and Vinyasa class you take, has its roots in Ashtanga Vinyasa.

This series of four classes, in a workshop format, divides the series into: History and Sun Salutations, standing postures and the first half of the series, second half of the series and finishings, and ultimately a full guided practice of Primary Series.
Upon completion of this series, students will be able to: Attend Ashtanga Primary Series on Monday evenings at 7:15pm with Sara and follow the sequence completely, better understand Ashtanga philosophy, and feel the solid foundation of the postures and breathing practices that have been cultivated over the 4 consistent weeks of practice.

Join Brooke’s Teacher, Hilaire Lockwood for this special opportunity to dig deep into the philosophy of Yoga.
Sometimes knowing "why" we do something helps put meaning or intention behind our action. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali do just that. This one-day intensive for students and instructors alike will be solely focused on the foundation of the yoga practice, its roots and its meaning - all that lies within the 3,000-year-old Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Over the two-hour period we will cover as much of the book as possible, relating the foundation of yoga to our life off the mat. When we can more deeply understand the purpose behind the practice, our time on our mat has more meaning. All are welcome - no yoga or sutra experience required.
Each chakra corresponds to an area of the physical body that represents an aspect of consciousness essential in our lives. Gaining understanding of each of the chakras and how they relate to the intangible and tangible pieces of who we are is a profound tool for personal growth. In this workshop, Hilaire Lockwood will break down the chakra system from the inside out and from the ground up to help us better understand ourselves and our practice. Workshop will include lecture/discussion, guided meditation and breathwork. We will finish with a well-rounded vinyasa class that will cover all 7 chakras leaving you feeling grounded, balanced, empowered and refreshed! All levels welcome!
In May 2018 Emma Grace Straub, age 9, was diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis, a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to inflammation. Emma now suffers from numerous cognitive deficits and debilitating psychiatric symptoms. The only treatment is a regular schedule of IV infusions of blood plasma ("IVIG") over the next 15 months. Not only has IVIG been proven to work for Emma, but her team of expert physicians and hospital agree that she desperately needs this treatment.
Unfortunately, this treatment is very costly so together, let’s help Emma and her family by donating what we can. Kelly is graciously offering a donation-based class with all proceeds going to Emma. Our suggested donation is $10-$15 per person. Cash only. Thank you for your help!
