a FREE Class/FUNDRAISER for Current & Former Federal Employees
In-Studio and Online Sunday, March 16 | 5:30-7:00pm
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. Have you been asking yourself, “What can I do to help and make a difference right now?” Please join us for a special community event to relieve stress and anxiety, build community, and raise money to help those who may be out of a job and out of income after dedicating their expertise and career to our country. All proceeds will go towards helping those who cannot afford a privilege like a yoga practice right now to begin or maintain one when they need it the most.
If you are a former or current Federal Government Employee or Contractor, or the Spouse/Domestic Partner or a Dependent of one, this class is FREE for you! You can also apply for a month of free online yoga below.
Cultivate comfort, closure and clarity with this soothing Sankalpa yoga practice.Sankalpa is Sanskrit for "intention" or "resolve," from San, meaning "a connection with the highest truth," and Kalpa, meaning "vow."
This workshop will begin with Hatha yoga asanas (postures) that strengthen and balance the body, and pranayama (breathing techniques) to bring more awareness to the present moment. A Yin yoga practice will follow, which involves holding passive stretches for 3-5 min to release the deeper connective tissue and fascia of the body to increase flexibility, release tension and cultivate a meditative state. This session will conclude with a long final relaxation that will incorporate iRest yoga nidra, a luxurious sleep-like guided meditation that uses body and breath sensing to foster a state of deep physical rest and high mental receptivity.
It is in this semiconscious state of relaxation, awareness and self-inquiry that the mind has immense power to sow the seeds of change. Join Monya for this practice to let go of old or limiting habits and thought patterns, and set long-term goals to help manifest transformation and fulfillment in the future, aligning your Sankalpa with your true Self and purpose.
Bolsters, blankets and blocks will be used (at-home participants should have these or pillows, couch cushions and large towels available) to enable maximum comfort in yin poses.
Hybrid Offering, In-Studio and Online, with Recording Option Available thru March 18th For online participation, a link will be sent ~55 minutes prior to the start time.
