/// The Astrology of Self-Care:
A Birth Chart Workshop ✨

When life gets hard and you feel overwhelmed, do you have tried-and-true self-care practices that help you find alignment again? We all need something different- a walk in the woods, a bath, quiet alone time, a big loud dinner party, or a phone call with a trusted friend. In this workshop, we’ll pull out our charts and explore the planets and placements that speak to how we care for our bodies and wellbeing. Because when we better understand our unique needs we’re able to meet them with more intention.

Beginning Tai Chi

w/ Amanda Dergener
Sundays / 12:00 - 1:00
Drop In or use your YG class pass

Tai Chi is a simple traditional Chinese practice that uses inner strength or "Qi" to feel better. Learn the "form", which is a continuous sequence of postures practiced in a slow, gentle manner, to improve blood circulation, balance, and your overall health. Tai chi is like swimming in air and acts similar to meditation but first step is to learn the form. Instruction is designed for people of all ages and all physical abilities. No special clothes or mats are needed but please don’t wear your street shoes on the Yoga Garden’s clean floor.

Please feel free to drop-in or use your YOGA Garden class pass to attend this class.

AMANDA DEGENER - During my 10 trips to Asia to lecture, show my work and teach I have learned and continue to learn about traditional Asian cultures especially Chinese Medicine and Tai Chi. I taught tai chi at the Natural Step School for about 5 years and then studied with Dr. He and her proteges at the American Academy of Oriental Medicine in Roseville. I have over 25 years of teaching experience and have been practicing tai chi for about 15 years and teaching it for 9. I approach this martial art as a healing practice knowing it is fantastic for balance and holistic mental and physical well being. For me, Tai Chi connects me to a deeper purpose as a being in the world. It powerfully brings me to myself in ways that are part of my spiritual understanding.

In my other life I am an accomplished artist and hand papermaker often mentoring younger practioneers.

This was such a nice morning. We worked up a sweat in a fiery vinyasa class and then headed over to Duck Spirits & Hearth to laugh and catch up over a delicious brunch. It was a perfect weekend morning.

/// RECLAIM & RENEW - Tuesdays at 6:30PM

Hey YOGA Gardeners,

As we move into the new year and the heart of winter, we have the opportunity to slow down and turn inward. In Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, winter is the season of the Kapha dosha and Earth element. This is a time for slower, grounded movement and intentional rest.

January Reclaim & Renew classes will focus on standing poses to bolster our connection to the earth and forward folds and backbends to keep our energy moving freely through this time of hibernation.

Looking forward to practicing with you as we welcome 2026!

-Melissa

We'll see you in The Garden in 2026...Happy New Year to All!
