❄️ Winter Solstice Open House ❄️
Sunday, December 21
10am-5pm

We hope you'll join us for a day of yoga, community and celebration! Winter can be a dark time for many people. We are here to support one another and live in community. Let's celebrate our time together with a day of joy.

We will kick off with 108 Sun Salutations. This is a fantastic way to build heat through movement. Different teachers will lead quick sun salutations over a two hour period- you may join at any tome and take breaks as needed. It becomes a meditative practice as you move with your breath.

Through the afternoon our instructors will lead sample 30 minute classes so you get a taste of other teachers and styles. Jessica Blanchard, our studio owner, will give a talk about seasonal and life transitions. We will end the day with meditation and a fire ceremony. Vendors and other friends of the studio will share their offerings. We will also have treats to share.

The entire day is free to our community.

Please mark your calendar! We will update our website and instagram as the day evolves.

Schedule
- 10am-12 - 108 Sun Salutations
- 12 - 1pm - Snacks and holiday market
- 1pm - Seasonal Transitions with Jessica
- 1:30-5pm - mini classes w/ Balance teachers

✨️Special Offering✨️

Nervous System Reset (with Erin)
Saturday, October 18th • 12:15-2pm
*Pre-registration required*

We exist within systems meant to keep us exhausted, insecure, and disconnected from ourselves and each other. In this current climate, rest is resistance- we also show up better for our community and loved ones when we feel grounded and regulated. This rest-shop (opposite of workshop) is designed to create a space of safety and softness to allow you to disengage from the fight-flight-fawn response and reconnect with your embodied self.

The session will include a brief discussion about the nervous system and how we move between different states of regulation. We will explore simple vagus nerve toning techniques and balancing pranayama and discuss ways to integrate these practices into our daily routine.

We'll engage in some gentle movement before settling into a series of restorative poses. Erin will offer optional supportive adjustments and a curated soundscape to help ground your practice.

Open to all- no prior yoga experience required. Space is limited in order to provide individualized attention for all attendees.

Investment: $25 ($20 for Balance members)

Rolf Movement Series with Lorraine
4 Weeks: August 3 - 24th

Sundays: 1:00- 2:15pm

During a Rolf Movement class we’re working towards gaining awareness of the subtle actions that are occurring in the body, such as bracing or “tightness”, and to discover easier more efficient ways of moving, standing, and sitting. We’re also working on discovering the potential for movement that we each have but which is often inaccessible due to habitual ways of moving.

Classes consist of slow gentle movement patterns guided with verbal and hands-on cues. Examples include: the tilt of our pelvis, the rotation of our shoulders, and the flexion and extension of our spine. Students are asked to wear comfortable clothing and to bring a yoga mat if they have one.

This series is sold as a package of 4 classes. Each class is $25 for a total of $100 for the entire series. Each week we will focus on a different area of the body as follows:

Session 1: Hips & Legs
Explore the subtle and not-so-subtle actions that occur when we walk, and work to discover a gait unique to us that is both supportive and effortless.

Session 2: Shoulders & Arms
Work to counter some of the common effects from our computer-phone-driving culture by exploring shoulder mobility and shoulder placement.

Session 3: Head & Neck
Learn techniques for relieving anxiety and stress, as well as loosening tension in the head and neck.

Session 4: Spine & Core
Learn the core and it’s many definitions as we work to find buoyancy, lift, and length throughout our body.

Due to the progressive nature of this series, bookings for all 4 sessions only.

Course meets Saturdays August 3rd - 24th

Cost: $100 for all 4 sessions, due to limited space no drop ins for this series.
