Fall 2012 In-Town Retreat

       November 10th & 11th
 Saturday & Sunday mornings
9:30 -12 noon @ Soma Yoga studio


  Focus for both morning sessions will be:
Integrating the upper and lower body: shoulder and pelvic girdles


This workshop will combine the traditional arts of Yoga & Qi Gong......
  with the eloquence of the Feldenkrais method of Somatic education.....
     to help us to get moving without over-doing!

Saturday morning will be Feldenkrais & Qi Gong.....gentle movement...open to everyone
In this session we will incorporate Feldenkrais floor work and standing Qi Gong exercises to relax and open the shoulders while freeing the neck and upper back. We will also explore various movements with the hips and lower back to connect through the whole spine and coordinate the relationship between the pelvic and shoulder girdles. This class will help to improve posture and balance and encourage deep relaxed breathing.

Sunday morning will be Yoga asana.....all levels welcome
In this session we will continue to explore the same focus of releasing the neck and shoulders, while using Yoga postures. We will also practice sitting and standing asana to connect the pelvis and shoulders through the whole spine. We will incorporate postures for hip and hamstring flexibility and learn how to strengthen the core and lower back, while letting go of unnecessary effort and tension.

Early registration discount: Full workshop paid by Wednesday, November 7th... $90
