Riding The Change – A Call to Calm the Nervous System

Do you find yourself up at 3:00 in the morning unable to fall back to sleep? Are you sometimes erratically moody when everything is seemingly fine? Is your moon cycle changing in some way? You may be experiencing the hormonal shifts that are associated with the perimenopausal years. This class is designed for women who are moving into “the change”. Though this class is geared for the woman that is in this changing time, we invite any woman that feels the need to deeply nourish her body and create a mindful way to balance hormones to join us. Premenstrual, perimenopausal or menopausal…we are always in change.

Regarding the 4-hour workshop version of this class the participant said:
“I rode into this class with hot flashes that made me practically disrobe hourly and disturbed my sleep every night. Even though I’m not a regular yoga practitioner, the postures Jnana led us through were not too challenging and in fact felt really good to sink into. Unbelievably, from the next day on, no more hot flashes! I plan to return to keep my system ‘tuned’ up and power flowing – just not in surges!” – Laurie G.

April Showers Bring Girl Powers!

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

When will we stop having so much fun??! How did I get so lucky – to meet and know all these amazing fire-ball gals…I just love it. The monthly craft keeps me on my toes, ever searching for groovy things to make, or adding things like a butter making dance to the snack time. Have you made butter lately? It is really fun and quite delicious. Spring dates are here. Camp Bunny Head is just around the corner too. (Boy/girl week – July 25-29…Girl Power August 8-12…register now to insure your Bunny Head’s place)

The pitch for Girl Power Craft Days:

Join us for an afternoon of creativity as we connect as powerful and spirited girls in the world. Each craft day we will explore how we can bring kindness and truth to ourselves and those we touch in the world. Creativity is one of the greatest gifts we have – to infuse the creative with ritual, helps us recognize our place in the world. Art helps us feel more grounded by self-expression. We add yoga to help us explore our inner terrain more deeply and infuse our bodies with serious girl power. The intention of the day is to have fun expressing our deepest-girl-selves.
