Kundalini Series with Ann Campbell

7-Weeks
Thursdays: March 28th, April 4th, April 11th, April 18th, April 25th, May 2nd, May 9th

Kundalini Yoga is known as the yoga of awareness. It is an ancient healing practice to awaken and connect with the divine energy within, so you can achieve a life of lightness, joy and boundless love. It’s designed to bring your focus inward to align with the truest highest expression of yourself.  As you go on this journey within, you begin to see through emotional debris— to see what thought patterns need to be released— what’s holding you back from your full potential. Kundalini Yoga uses physical postures, breathing techniques (pranayama) meditation, and mantra/chanting to help rewire the brain and break through energetic blocks.

Kundalini is often represented by the snake. The snake represents healing and transformation, literally shedding its old skin in order to grow.

No prior yoga experience required. Class passes can be used or drop-in rates apply.

Navigating Sciatica: Strategies for Relief with Physical Therapist, Chris Hebeler
Apr

to Apr 16

Navigating Sciatica: Strategies for Relief with Physical Therapist, Chris Hebeler

Tuesdays: April 9th and April 16th 5:15-6:15pm


$45

If you've ever suffered from sciatica, you're familiar with the relentless numbness, tingling, and burning that can radiate down one or both legs. These disruptive symptoms stem from compression of the sciatic nerve—a lengthy nerve that journeys from the spinal canal, weaves through the buttocks, and extends to the foot.

 

Sciatica's prevalence doesn't make it any less complex to address. Pinpointing the precise location of nerve compression is crucial, as it could result from a spinal condition like a herniated disc or from within the muscles of the hip and leg. Understanding the underlying "why" behind the compression is equally vital.

 

Navigating these challenges requires expertise and insight, which is where our workshop, "Navigating Sciatica: Strategies for Relief", comes into play. Led by Chris Hebeler, a local physical therapist with 15 years of experience in orthopedic conditions, this workshop is designed to illuminate the path to understanding and alleviating sciatica.


Session One: Foundations of Sciatica

  • Explore the anatomy and biomechanics of the spine, hip, and leg in relation to sciatica.

  • Learn techniques to identify the root of nerve compression.

  • Begin adopting treatment strategies to lessen symptom severity.

Session Two: Advanced Relief Techniques

  • Advance into strategies to not only alleviate but also prevent the return of sciatica.

  • Engage in a Question and Answer segment to address your specific concerns.

Whether you're grappling with sciatica or simply want to arm yourself with knowledge to avoid future issues, this workshop offers invaluable resources. Join us to empower yourself with strategies to decrease—and potentially eliminate—the causes of your sciatica.

Yoga Life's 40 Early Mornings Challenge 2024
Jan
1
to Feb 9

Yoga Life's 40 Early Mornings Challenge 2024

Join your Yoga Life community in yoga asana, pranayama, chanting, affirmations, and meditation for the first 40 days of 2024. Whether you’re looking to discover aspects of yourself that were previously unknown or are purposefully stepping into a whole new era, these first 40 days of 2024 set the stage for a full rebirthing of you.

This year, we were inspired by the quote from Rumi,

“A new moon teaches gradualness

and deliberation and how one gives birth

to oneself slowly. Patience with small details

makes perfect a large work, like the universe.

What nine months of attention does for an embryo

forty early mornings will do

for your gradually growing wholeness.”


Rules for entry into the drawing to win:

  1. Commit to 40 days of practice with Yoga Life.

  2. Attend 30 in-person or live streamed virtual classes at Yoga Life between January 1 and February 9, 2024. These can be any classes on our weekly schedule.

  3. Daily, throughout the challenge, utilize the pre-recorded breath work, meditation, and chanting practices (around 5-10 minutes each and are FREE). We do recommend the breath work and/or chanting practices to be practiced early in the morning, when your mind and the world are still quiet. This will set the tone for your day and help you move forward with awareness. On the days you are unable to practice with us, definitely utilize these pre-recorded videos.

If you wish to join us, email support@yogalifemichigan.com stating “I’m in!” and we will send you your own class tracker, the calendar to follow along each day for these 40 days, and a “how to” video to help you prepare.


We encourage each of you to commit to 40 early mornings. To carve out a small amount of time and start your day with intention. Your entire year could benefit from these first 40 days and you using these practices to reflect and deepen your relationship with yourself.


Upon completion of the challenge, take a picture of your completed tracker and email to Support@YogaLifeMichigan.com by February 10th, 2024. All completed entries will enter the drawing. Drawing will take place February 11th, 2024. Winner will be notified via email and announced on Instagram February 11th, 2024.

1st place winner: 3-Month Unlimited Pass
2nd place winner: Manduka Pro Mat
3rd place winner: Yoga Life Swag Bag

Veterans Day Gratitude All Level Yoga with Cheryl Weise

All Veterans and their support systems are welcome to join Cheryl for this free all level slower paced vinyasa class.  The practice will include breath work, gentle movement, and brief silent conscious awareness. Yoga and meditation have been proven to down-regulate the nervous system, and to reduce stress.

Regular yoga has been shown to reduce physiological arousal in those with PTSD and C-PTSD, helping the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to adapt better to triggers and stimuli. In other words, yoga helps minimise the risk of the body experiencing intrusive memories and other physical symptoms of PTSD and C-PTSD. (source: PTSDUK.org)

Experience freedom in the body, the breath and the mind. No prior yoga experience required. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend!

We thank you and are Grateful for our Freedom

Beginner's QiGong with Melissa & Joe Moody

Boost Your Life-Force Energy
Get the Good Chi Flowing!
In this class, you’ll learn how to work with your life-force energy (chi) to rejuvenate and heal your body. You will learn to move the way nature moves, using ancient forms that make you feel like you’re wearing a silk robe. Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is the art of cultivating our energy to slow aging and boost personal radiance. A perfect complement to yoga, Qigong gets the “chi” flowing through our meridians, massaging the organs, stretching fascia and synchronizing breath with movement. Joe and Melissa Moody founded “Club Qigong” two years ago and have shared these forms with thousands online, and are thrilled to be bringing this class to Yoga Life for two special classes.

Class passes may be used or drop-in rates apply.
