Move a muscle, change a thought! Master teacher Lois Nesbitt kicks off our newest monthly program, Wellness Wednesdays, with Yoga: Your Super Power! Join us as Lois guides us through some simple experiments in writing, movement (clothes on, sitting in chairs, and standing!), breathing, and meditation. More than stress relief and stretching, yoga offers techniques that can jumpstart our creativity—and enable us to live each day more fully and joyfully! Recover your natural curiosity and childlike enthusiasm as you follow this time-tested path.*
*This is a lecture/discussion about yoga’s place in your life, not a yoga class. Please come dressed in street clothes and bring a pen and notepad for some brief inspiration. No prior experience of yoga is required!
Led by an expert from the healing or wellness space, Wellness Wednesdays harnesses the wealth of experience and expertise of our local area, which is rich in wellness leaders, and offers it back to the community. This new series celebrates and explores one’s creative self, centering on personal wellness in mind, body, and spirit. From yoga to gong immersions to lectures and conversations and beyond, Wellness Wednesdays occur the third Wednesday of every month at 10 AM, with a different iteration each time.
Aligned with our existing programs Insight Sundays and Knowledge Fridays, which provide insight into the creative processes of artists and the lives of community leaders, respectively, Wellness Wednesdays encourages attendees to position themselves as dynamic conduits of energy and creativity.
