Advanced Tai Chi Tonight at 6pm.

One of the most challenging things about older Tai Chi styles is consistent practice. Even some practice can yield a lot of benefit but with consistent daily practice there is so much more. Just keep practicing.

Creating Sacred Space
Rescheduled for May 4th and 11th

Behnje Masson will be offering this beautiful course and invites each student to explore the profound practice of carving out sanctuaries within their physical surroundings and inner landscapes. Through a blend of meditation, visualization, and interactive exercises, attendees learn to infuse intention and mindfulness into their environments, turning ordinary spaces into havens of peace, inspiration, and spiritual resonance. By delving into the significance of rituals, symbolism, and personal meaning, participants uncover the power of cultivating sacred space as a catalyst for inner harmony and growth. This workshop serves as a sanctuary itself where students can share their insights, experiences, and aspirations as they embark on a journey towards deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

For those of you that are new to us, Welcome!
For those that continue to study here, Thank You!
With Love,
Behnje and Rick

Creating Sacred Space
A two-part series with Behnje Masson
May 4th and 11th, 2024
11am-1pm

In part one of this series we will explore different ways to access the space of heart. Through contemplation, meditation, journaling, and conversation we will explore our ability to recognize how our inner state influences the way we see and feel into a space.

Then in part two we will move that understanding into action. What makes a space sacred? Where you place your heart when you are in a space IS what makes it sacred. We will have exercises, daily rituals, and activities that support creating a Sacred Space in your Home, or Wellness/Yoga Center.

Part 1: Hrdayam
Awaken Your Inner Vision
May 4thth, 11-1pm

Part 2: Shradda

The earth is not outside us; it is within: the clay from where the tree of the body grows. -John O’Donohue

Please Join Behnje for this deeper dive into your Yoga practice!
The focus will be on Lakshmi and the energy of growth at this time of year. Pranayama, mantra & mudra will all invoke abundance. This will set the tone and tap us into the elements of earth and water... the special focus for the class. When the lower body and heart are open we experience a grounded fluidity in our Body. Asana: hip openers and backbends.
