Restorative Yoga with Sue Hanna
Sunday, March 18th from 6:15-7:45pm

Restorative Yoga Worskhop: For an hour and a half revive yourself for the rest of the week with Sue Hanna. We work very hard in our lives and rarely take the time to truly rest. Restorative yoga offers us the opportunity to learn to relax - to rest deeply and completely. Allow yourself the time to be a part of a completely supportive environment as you let your body melt into restorative poses. Leave rested and refreshed, knowing you can return to that place of rest again and again.

This special event will be offered the 3rd Sunday of every month.

For each special restorative class, please bring one or two firm blankets, one or two yoga blocks if you have any, and dress for comfort. An eye pillow is lovely if you have one! For those of you without props, they will be provided for you.

Event fee: $15

Please contact Sue Hanna at 937-371-7694 or via e-mail at suehanna7@yahoo.com to register for this class by the preceeding Friday

Reiki Level 1 training with Josephine
Friday, February 24th 7pm-10pm to Saturday, February 25th 8:30am-6:00pm

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. This description is found at www.reiki.org/faq/whatisreiki.html

Event fee: $150. Pre-registration required by Wednesday, February 22nd

Please contact Patti Keegan at 937-726-5451 to register for the class.

Yoga for Managing Stress with Becky Morrissey
Saturday, March 31th from 1:30-3:30 pm

This workshop explores how the practice of yoga is an effective technique for managing stress by helping you relieve body tension and relate emotionally to the "stress reaction" as a natural, even useful awareness. By learning how stress physiologically and psychologically occurs in the body, we will apply yogic techniques as a way to bring the stress reaction into balance when needed. We will learn how yoga helps us to be more available, less distracted mentally and emotionally, in the present moment.

Event fee: $25 pre-registration and $30 at the door. Pre-registration required by Wednesday, March 28th

Please contact Sue Hanna at 937-371-7694 or via e-mail at suehanna7@yahoo.com to register for this class by Wednesday, March 28th
