RESTORATIVE YOGA for MENOPAUSE with YUKA

In the workshop, we will explore the series of Restorative yoga poses, which help stimulate the body to produce a balance of hormones to calm the nervous system and reduce fatigue. With the support of bolsters, blocks and blankets, students rest in poses for 5 to 20 minutes allowing the body and mind to open gently and gradually. This series is designed for you to relax and rest deeply. No experience is required.

MEDITATION with LANEE

Physical practice is designed to support your ability to be deeply at peace within, content in the Now.

Join Lanee for a personal experience that may profoundly enhance the quality of the rest of your life.
