Join Casey for a special Winter Solstice Practice to honor the transition from the longest night of the year into the light.
Chandra Namaskars, MOON SALUTATIONS, are designed to regulate the nervous system through slow and purposeful movements connected to breath. Different varieties of the salutations will be done in repetition so that the practitioner can create a familiar moving meditation. Moon salutations focus less on the upper body strength involved in Sun Salutations and more into deeper movements and lower body.
Schedule: December 20th @6:30AM – 8:00AM
Cost: $35
About the instructor: Casey Petersen
Casey Petersen was forced into Yoga in 2001 by her college volleyball coach. He thought it would maybe help her jump and bend at her elbows and knees. It didn’t, but she slowly began to love the other benefits including becoming a less shitty person and being physical in a non-competitive environment.
After 8 years of twice weekly practice, a teacher at 24 hour fitness recommended she try an actual studio and after one class she was hooked.
“I feel that the most important effect of yoga will be seen when I’m old and my body still works”. When asked for her advice for first-timers she says “doing something, anything, for the first time is heroic and brave. Doing yoga is an opportunity to pay attention to yourself in a new way and that nobody is good at Yoga, we’re just trying to be good at being ourselves.”
