2018 Winter Yoga Gathering & Book Exchange

Inspired by the Jolabokaflod (Christmas Book Flood) in Iceland and the winter holiday spirit of giving, receiving and renewal, prepare for the coming year by experiencing a strong connection to the love, compassion, and joy that flows within you and that the holidays represent. 

The Workshop:

As the Winter Solstice will be upon us, Asana Practice will begin with Sun Salutations to warm the body and celebrate the transition from the shortest day to longer days. Standing poses remind us of our dynamic presence as world-changing warriors for peace. Seated Postures slow us down and develop compassion and respect. Inversions and variations thereof - nourish our brains with oxygen and healthy blood flow to support relaxation, creativity and opening to new ideas and possibilities. Backbends allow us to experience the energizing effect of opening our hearts to the flow of love within us and around us. Constructive Relaxation gives us time to simply BE, in the present moment, within the magnificent universe of our own bodies, and within an encouraging community as we walk together on the path of peace and transformation. 

Group discussion and book exchange will follow. 

The Book Exchange:

If you would like to participate in the book exchange, as you decide which book you will bring, current or vintage, consider these questions:

1. What type of book you would enjoy receiving at this time?

2. Is there a popular book title you've recently been hearing about?

3. What types of books do you like to read?

4. Is there a book on your shelf you would like to pass on?

Used Book donations to a local charity (to be decided) will gladly be encouraged and accepted!
