The following are the scheduled sessions for October.

Seva Saturdays run each week from 10 - 11 a.m

Oct. 10: Gentle Yoga with Anisah 

Designed for the absolute beginner, this class will introduce you to the basic philosophy and practice of yoga. Yoga includes techniques to energize and relax the body and mind, breathe more fully, and even more than this, yoga offers us an opportunity to connect with our true selves, and learn how to maintain balance amidst the worries and stresses of everyday life.
 
Oct. 17: Creative Dance with Michele

Creative dance is an opportunity to explore one's own ways of movement and personal expression through dance. A variety of world dance and popular music will be used. No dance experience necessary. For dancers aged 12 to adults.

Oct. 24: Body-mind work with Elisabeth

Finding together peace and harmony within in a time of great challenges. If a storm comes up creating big turbulence, we can learn to stay in its center, it's the only quiet place to be. Elisabeth Guentart Bay will introduce you to body-mind work and the expressive arts so you can learn how to stay connected to yourself. Together you'll look for the inner place of peace and harmony that keeps you grounded whatever happens.

Oct. 31:Yoga with the Ancestors with Mona

Join yogini Mona Mattei for an easy stretch and strengthen yoga session. Using the flow method of yoga, Mona will take you through a soothing series of postures designed for relaxation. We'll take time at the end for a meditation with the ancestors - after all it's Halloween!

For all sessions please wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle. Mats, blankets, and cushions provided.
