 Yoga and Mindfulness
Meditation Workshop!

Cultivate calm.
Still the body.
Quiet the mind




Please join us as we welcome Cindy Dollar and Susan Grant for a Mindfulness and Meditation Workshop on Saturday, September 11 from 1 - 5 p.m.
 
Cindy has been voted "Best Yoga Teacher in Western North Carolina" for three consecutive years, and Susan, a psychologist practicing in Asheville, NC, specializes in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and has practiced mindfulness mediation for 15 years.

This class is an introduction to mindfulness meditation for those who are new to the practice, as well as an opportunity to expand the knowledge of those who have experience with meditation.

In addition, you will learn a variety of yoga poses to increase strength and flexibility in the hips, hamstrings and back and enhance your comfort and stability in sitting postures.  This will include chair poses - you do not have to be able to sit on the floor to meditate!

Learn mindfulness practices that will develop your ability to focus your attention, and give you greater choice in how you respond to the events and stresses of daily life.

Don't miss this important opportunity.  No previous experience is necessary.

This text will introduce you to the stories at the heart of the yoga tradition.  One reviewer wrote, "Highly recommended for yoga students and teachers or anyone interested in learning more about the stories behind the poses. I've always found these stories to be a bit confusing and hard to remember, but this book is written in a way that makes them very real and relatable. This is a book to return to time and time again."

Contact Valerie for the location.

Hoopdio (hula hooping + cardio) Class

Hula hooping has been a popular activity for over 50 years, and now adults are discovering a reincarnation of the hoop and seeing it in a whole new way.   

Hooping for fitness with larger, heavier "modern" size hoops is a unique and fun way to burn calories. In this workshop you will enjoy playful exercise, while still getting an intense core and full body workout. We will also focus on strength training with stretches and poses that are complimentary to yoga. 

Local fitness instructor Monica Casey is very enthusiastic about bringing hoops back to the masses with her Winston Salem based company Monkey Hooper. Not only does she make and design weighted hoops, but she also teaches classes for adults and children throughout the Triad. "Hooping appeals to those who are looking for a little change in their workout routines," Monica says. "It is the perfect way to exercise, de-stress, and reenergize. It can be modified for any fitness level, done indoors or out, and always leaves a smile on your face." 
 
Hoops will be supplied for your workout and also available for purchase.  For more information, check out Monkey Hooper.
 
Date:  Tuesday, October 5
Time:  
11:30 - 12:30
Cost: 
$15 by cash or check payable to Sunrise Yoga accepted at the studio
