Jeanelle Boyer Workshop

Inversions and Yoga Nidra

Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011

10am - 12:30pm 

 

Studio Z  is excited to welcome Jeanelle Boyer back to Grinnell!  If you missed Jeanelle this summer on her run across Iowa, don’t miss her inspiring presence this time!

 

In this workshop, we will start by exploring alignment and technique to safely work up to and practice a variety of inversions such as: headstand, shoulder stand, forearm stand, and hand stand.  As these postures become accessible, you will reap their many benefits such as: slowing and calming the nervous system, relieving anxiety, benefiting lymph flow and circulation, strengthening the abdominals, and relaxing and realigning the body.
To wind up the workshop, Jeanelle will lead us into Yoga Nidra.  Yoga Nidra has been dubbed the sleep of the yogis….a deep meditative sleep in which the brain is in a deep sleep but awareness is present.  Not only is this a restful and relaxing practice (some say 30 minutes is as good as 6 hours of sleep!), but it is also a profound opportunity to explore that eternal question of: “Who am I?” and to experience true states of BEING…

Fee: $30.  Register online at studiozink.com/yoga-calendar or by email: 921studioz@gmail.com.  Annual members receive a discount; please see Monica or Jenny for info.
