Hollow Tree Yoga

Ashtanga 101 Primer with Natalie Holst

Saturday November 20 from 1 to 5 pm
Sunday November 21 from 10 to 12 pm

Cost: $80+HST (Early bird $70 until October 31^st) 

We welcome Natalie back to Hollow Tree after her visit this past spring for the groovy, disco ball enhanced Madonna Flow Party!  This time Natalie provides a thorough introduction to Ashtanga yoga.  Highly recommended for those who would like to ground, uplift, and deepen a dynamic yoga practice.  Learn more about Natalie at www.yogamakesmehappy.com.

Experience this dynamic yoga practice that builds both strength and flexibility through linked movements and postures. The Ashtanga Primary series is a set sequence of sun salutations, standing postures, seated postures and inversions for total health (body and mind) – mixing sweat with serenity. Through control of the breath, you will find strength, steadiness, focus and fluidity throughout the practice as the breath initiates and directs your movement.

 Join Natalie Holst for this two day workshop to learn the fundamentals of the practice: the breath, the sun salutations, vinyasa sequences, core principles of alignment, and posture modifications to make the practice accessible to you and your body. Then, take this knowledge to the mat on Sunday for a 2 hour led practice of the full Primary series.

Join multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter Devin Johnstone and yoga teacher Susan McEwen for a Yin yoga practice supported and deepened by live music and readings. 

Gift yourself with an evening of letting go and creating space as we release tension and striving, making room for an appreciation and acceptance of the fullness of the moment.

Yin practice “…encourages your body to heal injuries in the connective tissue, re-establishing its natural structure and range of motion.

In addition to its physical benefits, Yin yoga can alleviate stress and anxiety, re-activing the body’s relaxation response. It can also be a wonderful tool for releasing stored emotions and working with unresolved issues. It can also be of great benefit to those dealing with insomnia.” ~Devin Johnstone

SPIRIT DANCE:

drop in ~ $15

Spirit Dance liberates you to dance in your own way with freedom and ease.  This class guides you through a simple process that will unlock your body’s tension and connect you with your inherent rhythm and movement.

Be swept away by the ancient beat of the drums as they move your body, open your heart, and reconnect you to the little girl inside that just wants to have fun.  Feel your stress melt away, leaving you invigorated, empowered, and joyfully open.

Ana says, “I have helped women of all fitness levels shed layers of tension, come out of their shells, build confidence, move from repression to authentic expression, find deep inner connection and burn hundreds of calories while having fun.  I would love the opportunity to support and lead you through this life-enriching experience too.”

Ana will be offering Spirit Dance as a registered, multi-week program at Hollow Tree this fall.
