MIND/BODY RELAXATION TECHNIQUES FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS & HER BIRTH PARTNER w/ Marnie Memmolo SUNDAY 10 AM - 12:30 PM ~ FEBRUARY 6th
Having a child is a major life changing event. It is natural to fret about what you eat, drink, think, feel and do during pregnancy. It is also perfectly normal to worry about whether your baby is healthy, how this new person will change your life and relationships, and whether you are truly up to the task of parenthood. Pregnancy is also a busy time filled with preparations: creating a registry, decorating the nursery, making a birth plan, scheduling and attending childbirth classes, finding a pediatrician, what to do about your career and work-life balance once the baby arrives. Radical physical changes to the body, normal pregnancy mood swings caused by changes and shifts in hormone levels, compounded by these thoughts, choices and preparations can be overwhelming and can leave even the most laid back woman totally stressed out. The key is to take adequate steps to manage and cope with anxiety and stress so it doesn't become all-consuming and affect your day-to-day functioning. This workshop will identify key stressors in your life, the importance of learning how to handle stress constructively during pregnancy, ways to limit your exposure to stress, and techniques to lessen your body's response to stress which is useful for anytime in your life, but expecially during pregnancy and beyond. Workshop fee = $35 single / $50 couple. Pre-registration required by contacting marnie_mysnyk@hotmail.com Yoga & Meditation Series: Gracefully Surrender to Winter w/ Marnie Memmolo & Denise Koelsch Mondays 6 - 8:15 PM ~ 4 week series starts 2/7
By midwinter the earth has let go of her vibrancy and everything she has been holding onto throughout the spring and summer. During the winter, she sits clean and undecorated in her simplicity, free of the frenzy of life that defines her in the warmer seasons. There is a quiet humility about the earth in the winter months, as animals and people retreat inside to escape the wet and sometimes freezing cold that takes hold. Rather than resisting nature, why not slow down as nature intended? Allow yourself to slow down, rest more and lower the volume of your busy mind by turning inward with our yoga and meditation series. Yoga asana and meditation will be our tools to explore various aspects of one's Self. Our yoga asana will be a balanced practice that will follow nature's intentions by focusing on postures that connect us to our earth energy such as hip openers and forward bends that encourage us to turn inward. Asana sequences will prepare us to seemlessly transition into a meditation practice that will explore a weekly theme such as 1.) development of acceptance of one's Self and of others 2.) development of love and compassion for one's Self and others 3.) development of the practice of letting go 4.) the practice of devotion. Yoga 6 - 7:15 PM / Meditation 7:15 - 8:15 PM. 4 week series = $90. Yoga Only or Meditation Only drop-in fee = $15 or class card. Both Classes Drop-in = $25.
