WORKSHOPS
Knitting while Yogi
Saturday, December 8th | 1 pm – 4pm | $30
If you see me at Yess Yoga, I probably have some knitting on my lap, it’s one of my favorite pre-class pastimes. They go together so well, because they really are so similar! There is the breath that flows in and out to create change in myself. I knit and purl to create something from the yarn. Inhale-Exhale, Knit-Purl!

Body Love: Cultivating Joy
Saturday, December 15th | 4-6 pm | $35
Cultivating Joy ~ a heart centered practice. This month we will focus on the heart chakra and turning inward.We will use supported yin postures for our physical practice, which allow us to slow down and find stillness in this season of busy-ness. We will also share time in conversation, meditation and journaling.
Womxn’s Moon Medicine: Moon in Aries
Saturday, December 15th | 7-9 pm | $35
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents the raw, primal fire of life force energy. With Aries as our teacher, we learn that we have the right to stand up for our own wants and needs. Autonomy, boundaries, assertiveness, the heat of our own passions and desires: this is the path of Aries. Building courage is the evolutionary aim. By facing our fears, taking risks, adventuring beyond the edges of our comfort zones, we embody high Aries energy and feel the fire of strength and courage intensifying in our bones.
To embody this Aries Moon energy, we will experiment with freestyle movement to music to awaken and explore our own instinctual, primal natures. There will also be drums/sound makers to engage with during the movement if you wish. Please wear comfortable clothing in which you can move easily. After the embodiment, we will circle for a time of ritual and sharing. Moon Medicine is led by Evolutionary Astrologer, Jessa Walters.A few days before the event, Jessa will send an email to all who have registered with more info.
