Saturday 2 – 4:30 pm PST

The astral life of the earth is young and strong between Christmas and Easter. Those who form their wishes now will have added strength to fulfill them consistently
H.P. Blavatsky
During challenging times, we may turn within for inner strength to prepare for a new year, new adventures, opportunities for soul evolution. Visualizations and short writing prompts help us create new goals to support both growth of the individual and world soul. What is needed especially now for my soul to evolve? What can I do for the soul of the planet we share?
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are but
tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Embodied Awareness: A Gentle Yoga Series
Alana Mitnick
January 15 – February 26 (no class January 29)
Thursdays 10:00 – 11:15 am PST
Krotona School (On-site and Zoom)
In this 6-week yoga series we will explore what it feels like to move gently, from a place of self-compassion and embodied ease. Drawing awareness towards the breath and subtle sensations, we explore simple asanas, somatic movements, and meditation techniques designed to calm the nervous system – offering relief, increasing mobility, and inspiring a flow of energy.
Drop-ins welcome!
Please bring a yoga mat, a yoga blanket (or towel), and any props you would like to use during your practice.
Single Session $20, Series $110.
