Yoga Arose Amid Societal Turbulence: What It Can Teach Us Today. Around 2500 years ago, people living in societal stress and governmental disarray developed some of the foundational assumptions that underlie yoga practice. This workshop will explain how those precepts can assist us today in determining how to respond to the challenges of our time and place. Our discussion will be informed by the historical themes described in Timothy Snyder’s short book On Tyranny, and animated by corresponding yoga concepts and practices to support appropriate civic engagement and action. 

Our feet serve as the cornerstone of our daily movements, bearing the weight of our bodies and facilitating motion. Unfortunately, many of us face challenges with foot health, stemming from issues like bio-mechanical imbalances, excess weight, or the prolonged use of improper footwear.  Amir's yoga therapeutics can make a significant impact by addressing limitations and promoting alignment, flexibility, and strength in the feet.

In uncertain times, our practice is a refuge, especially methods that settle and soothe the nervous system. This regenerative immersion with experienced mindfulness and yoga teacher Jennifer O'Sullivan creates space to sink deeply into the heart of several quiet modes of practice – including gentle yoga, yin, and yoga nidra – offering an extended release from whatever mental load you may be carrying. 

A thoughtfully structured afternoon of gentle, guided movement combined with extended periods of meditation and mindfulness. A sound healing session wraps up the day, using the bright resonance of gong, chimes, and crystal bowls to help us access the fullness of spring’s renewal. 

A free hour to learn, modify, or refine your sun salutation practice! Go through several adaptations, modifications, and lineages, and learn tips and tools for incorporating this timeless flow of postures into your day-to-day life. 

Amir's workshop is an innovative and therapeutic experience that can challenge your perceptions of the body and its ability to move with ease.

Join Chynna and Jarrick for a deeply relaxing sound bath session to create space for exploration of the duality between movement and stillness, and between silence and sound both internally and externally. With the breath, tap into the nervous systems to settle the MindSpace and the body to facilitate a deeper state of clarity, focus and relaxation in the midst of gongs, crystal bowls, and singing bowls. 

Restorative yoga is a practice that is focused on slowing down and opening your body through passive, supported stretching. During the long holds of restorative yoga, muscles and connective tissues are allowed to relax and elongate deeply as props, rather than muscles, are doing the work. This workshop will be recorded and available for one month following the event.

Dearly Beloved, we will gather together this April for our Second getting-through-this-thing-called-life celebration of eclectic, weird life, that can be beautiful at times. Join Reggie Hubbard and the Sun & Moon community for a yoga class (and a quasi-dance party!) followed by a sound bath in honor of health, life, and PRINCE. Come dressed to express your creativity, ready to flow intuitively, and open to celebrating life in glorious fellowship. Plus a bonus B Side! After a sweaty party of ecstasy and awesome, Reggie will bathe us in sound, featuring gongs, crystal bowls, and antique bowls as we rest in spacious community.

Resonate with the sounds of spring as Reggie joins us once again for a nature-inspired soundscape to resonate with what is happening in the environment. Chimes, sound bowls, and other instruments will help us unwind, recharge, and get in tune and engage authentically with the April vibe that is this moment. Leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and renewed.

MARCH SELECTION: Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino 

An alien girl infiltrates Earth-life and communicates with her fellow life-forms via fax as she helps gather intel about whether our planet is habitable. This funny-sad novel follows the girl and her single mother as they find the means to persevere.

Shake loose from the slumber of winter and prepare for the energy of spring. Meet the season of clearing space, rooting, and blossoming toward a fuller expression of yourself, just like flowers, trees and wildlife will be doing all around us. Using sound bowls, gongs and other instruments, we will rest our nerves to prepare to receive and engage with spring more authentically. Leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and renewed, ready for the new beginnings that spring offers. 

The shoulders are the most mobile joint in the human body, but when joint function is overly focused on mobility, stability is sacrificed as a result, and if weight bearing through the arms outside of yoga practice is not part of a yoga practitioner's repertoire, it's quite common to develop shoulder issues over time. Join Dr. C to learn more about your shoulder structure, strengths, and weaknesses, and learn to sustain a regular yoga practice for years to come. 

Healthy hips require strength and flexibility within the joints themselves, but it's part of a larger system that requires attentive movement and balanced posture in neighboring knee joints and lower back as well. This workshop is perfect if you are looking to alleviate hip pain and discomfort by safely and effectively use yoga as a tool. 

Experience the state of deep relaxation that awaits you from within. Relax, get comfortable, snuggle in your own home, and take an hour to tune in and be soothed by sound. 

This workshop event is cancelled. We hope to offer it again in the Spring quarter
