New Restorative Yoga Class with Jaime-Lyn Gaudet

Monday, May 23rd and Monday, June 13th 7-8pm

This evening class will combine the meditative qualities of a slow flow and the deep nourishment of a restorative practice. Beginning with a slow and intentional flow to move stagnant energy, we will then shift toward longer held, fully supported, restorative postures to foster quiet and calm in both mind and body. During this practice, we will cultivate a sense of steadiness and ease within, as we move into a more quiet and still space. All are welcome, from beginner to seasoned practitioner, for this hour of self care.

Mindfulness in Nature

Join Libby from Forest Flow for a unique group mindfulness experience in the calm and serenity of Whipple Hill, just behind the farm. This all-level experience includes walking with awareness, awakening the senses, and guided meditation (in the form of Yoga Nidra).
