Riding the Change – An exploration of the peri-menatl-pausal years with yoga, breath work and congenial commiseration

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Riding the Change – an exploration of the peri-mental-pausal years with asana,
breath work/meditation and congenial commiseration.

In this workshop we will come together as a group of perimenopausal power-surging women to share the intensity of this life-changing time and celebrate the initiation into a deeper intuition and a more creative self. This workshop includes a check-in and menopause discussion and explores yoga postures (including restorative yoga poses) that help support the hormonal roller-coaster of “the change”. We will practice mindfulness and breath work as a way to connect to ourselves – and in turn, use this work to support us as we lay awake at 3:00 a.m. as our brain re-wires itself.
All women go through this amazing time and every woman has her own story. Join us and share your story as a way of staying sane and present as you enter into your seriously divine feminine. This class is for all levels from basic beginner to the seasoned practitioner.

Bunny Head Yoga Summer Camp for kids

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Powerhouse Education presents -Bunny Head Yoga Summer Camp
July 12 – 16 (for boys and girls)
Aug 16 – 20 (GIRL POWER week – girls only)

Bunny Head Yoga encourages children to experience being in their bodies, joyfully with excitement and control. At the Bunny Head Yoga Summer camp, we will start the day with free play, and then come together to do yoga before we set out on our daily adventure. This brand of yoga class is designed for children and we have a lot of fun doing the poses – often imitating the weather or turning into animals. Yoga has been known to help develop focus & concentration; it encourages self-confidence as well as enhancing physical coordination.

At the Bunny Head Yoga Camp we want to cultivate a reverence for the natural world; a few ways we’ll do this is by the study of “power animals,” each child will choose their own (power animal) and we will do a craft to ritualize their chosen critter. We will spend one day at the Albany Bulb communing with nature; we will go on an art hike to see the various art structures and we’ll make biodegradable art pieces to decorate the “magic tree.” (located at the Bulb)

July 12-16 Camp Bunny Head Yoga Camp for Boys and Girls:
Other field trips include: a field trip to a local yoga studio (Vara Healing Arts), Memorial Park, and one day will be by the Bay and will include going to Adventure Playground.

August 16-20 Bunny Head Yoga GIRL Power week:
In addition to the week above we will create a doll during the week that will be infused with girl power! This doll can be worn and it will go everywhere we go and represent the positivity of being a girl in the world today.
