HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone Saturday, January 27th 12:30pm-1:30
Creative expression is good for the soul. Art can express our thoughts and feelings in color and images, rather than words. Art can also be an experience in relaxation and mindfulness, encouraging us to be in the present moment. As we paint and draw and color, we can learn to be comfortable with imperfection, and with the process rather than the outcome. No art experience necessary!

“I meditate so that my mind cannot complicate my life” – Sri Chinmoy. This quote rings true to what meditation can do to help uncomplicate your life. Meditation can also reduce stress and anxiety while bringing your focus to the present rather than constantly worrying about the past or what’s going to happen in the future. Come join us and experience what meditation can do for you.

How to Regulate Your Nervous System Saturday, January 20th 12:30-1:30
We will discuss a brief overview of the nervous system, how it interacts with our body and potential effects on daily life. Nervous system hyperarousal can come from stress and trauma and may show up as irritability, anxiety, inability to concentrate, and more. We will go over two practices to help with nervous system regulation. The goal is to have a better understanding of what our body is doing and how to help keep it stable through life’s ups and downs.

Yoga for Recovery

Yoga for Recovery Saturday, January 13th 12:30-1:30
Yoga for Recovery will include yoga, breath work and guided imagery to help relieve stress while expanding our capacity to be with and experience everyday life and everyday emotions. Yoga-body psychology is a practice that gives you space to cultivate and explore sensations using movement and breath. Being present in our bodies can be uncomfortable, that is when a trauma-informed approach to yoga becomes an empowering way to rebuild a trusting relationship with self. In this class you will learn somatic-based tools that can be used on and off the mat.

We will also address how to set up an attainable daily practice to connect with our higher power.
