Happy February from Heart Tree Yoga
Heart Tree Yoga has many exciting announcements this month that I'm thrilled to share with you. Read on!
Growing Resilience: Mindfulness and Body Awareness for People with Parkinson's Disease I am so incredibly happy to announce a new offering for people with Parkinson's disease. I am teaming up with Insight Shop founder and director Trisha Stotler to offer a 6-week class series designed to bring the benefits of mindfulness and body connection to people with Parkinson’s, and empower them towards greater inner resilience, well-being and quality of life. Trisha and I will be combining strategies and techniques drawn from the clinically studied Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program with therapeutic yoga practices. Elements are designed to improve breath, movement, and body awareness, while reducing body tension and addressing symptoms of depression and anxiety often experienced by people with Parkinson’s. Participants will receive follow-up support for each 90-minute class, including a weekly video download offering a short home practice highlighting adaptive yoga-based movements to improve stability, balance, and flexibility. Participants will also receive (2) 60-minute private sessions—one each with Trisha and Carolyn respectively, designed to help customize supportive home practices further. SPACE IS LIMITED. The class with meet at the Insight Shop in Vienna, VA, starting Sunday, April 7th from 2:00-3:30 pm. Location: 114 Courthouse Rd, SW Total fee: $345. Class dates: April 7th, 14th, and 28th May 5th June 2nd, June 9th Additional details available at https://insightshopva.com/class/growing-resilience-mindfulness-body-awareness-for-people-with-parkinsons-disease/2019-04-07/ Please reach out with any questions at [email protected] or 703-862-5922. ,FEBRUARY EVENTS Mark your Calendars! SUNDAY FEBRUARY 24 Yoga Nidra and the Art of Conscious Relaxation 5:00-6:00 pm at Body Grace studio in Vienna (NOTE new time for this month) Fee: $20 pre-registered: $25 drop-in Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that takes people into a state of deep relaxation through a guided meditative process and conscious visualization. Also known as yogic sleep, the practice gives rest to the mind, body and senses by drawing the practitioner into a state of conscious awareness—a brain state between full wakefulness and full sleep. This practice has been linked with reducing stress, tension and pain; improving circulation and immune functioning; lowering blood pressure and inflammation; and stabilizing mood. Yoga Nidra is generally practiced while lying down or in a seated position. For your comfort, please bring a pillow and wear comfortable clothing and arrive 15 minutes before class start. Mats and blankets are available at the studio or feel free to bring your own. Please RSVP to reserve a spot with Jan at [email protected] REMINDER: MONDAY EVENINGS 6:45pm-8pm, Body Grace Fitness and Yoga Yoga for "Core" and Connection A truly stable core allows the body to respond naturally, without bracing and excessive tension, despite changes in how fast you are going, how much weight you are carrying, or if you are changing direction. This unique class is for people seeking to strengthen and balance their internal structure—“core” stability—through improved movement. Class will include a blend of mindful movement, breathing exercises, yoga poses and meditation to help practitioners experience how a supportive and responsive “core” emerges when you are moving and breathing well. Class suitable for all levels. Coming Up Soon! SUNDAY, MARCH 24 Amy Weintraub: Heartbreak as a Path to Wholeness with Amy Weintraub 1:30-4:30pm at Beloved Studio in Reston Fee: early bird before March 23rd - $55. Amy Weintraub, author of Yoga for Depression and Yoga Skills for Therapists, is coming to town to share ways to nourish our spiritual practice, leading to more peace and healing within.
