15 Year Anniversary Party |  | |
Friday night, November 21, 5:45 to 9 pm ish.
All students and their families are welcome to attend this free event.
This is a chance for us to say "Thank You" to all of our students and friends for their support and commitment to practice over the last 15 years! We are honored to share our passion for yoga and mindful living with you all, and are grateful for the opportunity to continue bringing "peace to our hearts, peace to our homes and peace to our world." The gathering will give us a chance to bring our yoga community together for a fun filled evening of yoga, music, good food and great company.
The party will begin at 5:45 with a Round Robin All Levels Yoga class taught by our teachers, free, but please consider bringing a generous Open Pantry Donation to kick off our season of "Will Teach Yoga for Food". Class will be followed by snacks and goodies throughout the evening, with a drum circle/jam session beginning at 7:30 pm, with two amazing drum teachers from Kripalu Center. The party will complete with a Yoga Nidra experience. (Come to Heartsong at any time during the evening's events.)

Yoga Nidra, Your first Long Winter's Nap |  | |
November 6, 7:30 to 9:00 pm
Join Heartsong's Jane Anable for an evening of Yoga Nidra, or Deep Yogic Rest, on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm.
Walk ins are welcome, $20.00 at the door, but if you pre register and pre pay, you can enjoy the class for $18.00. No experience is necessary, this is a great class to bring along a loved one to share your passion for yoga, however, Yoga Nidra is a practice and a process, so coming in once a month for a Yoga Nidra "Tune Up" is highly recommended.
Yoga Nidra is a dynamic meditative process that has been passed down to us through the centuries from the ancient yogic masters. It is designed to establish harmony and well being throughout the entire system, reducing the physical and mental tensions brought about by modern day living.
Yoga Nidra induces physical relaxation by moving awareness around the body, with attention drawn to the breath. The slower and deeper the respiration, the more relaxed the practitioner becomes. Emotional relaxation is achieved by developing a state of mind where various feelings and thoughts are brought to the surface, and then breathed away, and the mind begins to quiet down and feel more settled and at ease. Healing images and suggestions are brought in, along with positive affirmations and calming tranquil images. Although it seems as though this practice is "just a long winter's nap" the body is deeply relaxed and the mind and thoughts are quiet, but the practitioner is fully awake on an internal level.
Propped on cushions and bolsters, covered by blankets and resting on the carpeted floor, with an eye pillow over the eyes and the soothing restorative words from Jane, in the company of other seekers of relaxation, healing and ease, it is no wonder that this class is always a sell out at Heartsong Yoga each month.
