The holiday season can be a time of joy and excitement, but it can also leave us physically and mentally exhausted. On top of our usual everyday routine, many of us have to make time to purchase gifts, set up decorations, go to or host parties, and follow other holiday traditions. No wonder by the time January comes around we can feel depleted and off-balance!
Release the old energetic gunk and usher in new positive energy by welcoming the New Year with a Chakra tune-up practice that will use asana (yoga poses), guided relaxation, breath work, and meditation to purify the body, soothe the senses, reset the nervous system, and clear the mind. When your energy centers are properly maintained, they enliven your inner intelligence and bring more harmony to your life.
Date & Time: Saturday, January 4th (2020), at 4:30-7:00pm.
