November Offerings

Hello Friends,
​
Welcome to November and fall.  I know technically, fall began at the Equinox in September, but for me, fall doesn’t really start until – well the leaves start to fall!  The colors are amazing right now, especially at deep lake.  If you haven’t had a chance yet to go there and check it, you should before all the rain and wind knocks all the leaves down. 
Below are my offerings for this November.  I have a couple of special highlights this month too:
SoHaPP’s: Habits for Happiness 5 month program kicks off this month. You may have seen an introductory article in the Courier Herald last month.  November’s theme is Gratitude.  You can find out more about the neuro science why Gratitude is so important for mental health at SoHaPP.org and there will be two FREE library events this month you may want to check out too.

November 19, Sunday: New Moon Mandala: The Power of Emotion

This yoga series will explore Sensuality, finding pleasure in our bodies and poses using non-linear movement and undulations to help to lubricate and free up areas of our body that are stuck from repetitive movement. We will continue to explore the deep inner core, by learning to locate and engage our pelvic floor.  Our pranayama focus will be on the subtle breath, low and slow. Our practice will conclude with a long restorative posture and reiki!
