Mother’s Day Mehndi

With Rachel Dewan, Henna Artist, Saturday, May 10 from 2:00-4:00 pm

Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate, creation, creativity and the feminine divine. In this workshop we will do an hour long, all levels yoga practice, creating beautiful poses together. We will spend some time reflecting on what it means to be a creative person (even if children are not what you have chosen to create in your own life). Then Rachel will hand paint a beautiful mehndi body art design on you, an outward reflection of the inner beauty of the feminine divine that lives inside each of us.

Mehndi is the oldest form of body art still in existence today. A paste containing a plant-based dye created from the henna tree (also known as Egyptian privet, and mignonette tree) is used to decorate the body with a temporary tattoo that lasts 1 – 2 weeks. Email Rachel with questions: rdyogamama@gmail.com

Although it is rare, henna can stain clothing it comes in contact with so you may want to dress in dark colors or wear clothes you don’t care about getting stained.

If you are want to register two people, make a duplicate reservation under your name.

Slow Stretch and Restorative Pop-up Class

Some Mondays from 6:30 – 7:30 pm. Check the online schedule and register.

This class is designed to help you relax and rejuvenate your body and mind. We will begin with a slow-paced yoga practice that focuses on stretching and releasing tension in the body. We will move through a variety of poses, holding each one for several breaths, allowing the muscles to lengthen and soften. This will help to improve your flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and improve your range of motion.

The class will then transition into a series of restorative poses. These poses are held for longer periods of time with the support of props, such as blocks, blankets, and bolsters. This will help you to relax even deeper and promote healing and regeneration.

The class will end with a period of final supine relaxation (Shavasana) to allow your body to integrate the benefits of the practice and fully relax.

This class is suitable for all levels. No prior yoga experience is necessary.

Benefits you may experience from slow stretch and restorative yoga:

Reduces stress and anxiety
Improves flexibility and range of motion
Relieves muscle tension
Improved range of motion
Improves sleep quality
Promotes overall well-being

Cost: A class from your card or drop-in $25
