Back by popular demand. AntiGravity Restorative Yoga event! Join Valerie Knopik for a candlelight AntiGravity Restorative yoga class utilizing the AGY hammock 9 inches off the floor to restore and rebalance body, mind and spirit. Imagine all the moving parts of your body flexing and extending while floating weightlessly in space. Restorative Antigravity Yoga utilizes the hammock to float the body in mid-air through a series of gentle stretching motions, deeply opening the entire spine, hip girdle, shoulders sockets, and more. The weightlessness provided by the hammock allows the body to safely glide to the extent of its flexibility with zero compression on the joints and connecting tissues, which brings the benefits of detoxification and the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. This practice rejuvenates your body, soothes your senses, and calms your nervous system. This groundbreaking restorative technique flows like a moving meditation, gently repairing and healing the physical body while simultaneously stilling the mind.

Connecting through Yoga, Spoken Word, and Drums.
So, as we listen, we create. We create communities of compassion to protect around and sometimes against suffering. We look to that timeless map that has never been outdated by years. We believe that by tracing that map today over the terrain of wars against love not directly experienced by us, we will expand our ethnic-of-connectedness to those caught in the vortex of wars against love. When we pause, however, we realize (but perhaps are not yet ready to admit) we too are whirling. We might then decorate our pain with silence. We might then decorate our language with silence because we are, after all, yogini.
In that beautiful silence, though, we know yogin need space for expression. We know yogin need space for expansion. We know yogin need a place to lighten the burden of carrying heavy for others. So, won’t you please come join Grace, Patty and Phil for an afternoon designed to celebrate:
