SBS, Certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor and Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra Guide What is Restorative Yoga? Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic style of yoga which utilizes props to make it easier for the body to get into certain poses, and thus, surrender to the pose. Practicing poses using props provides a completely supportive environment for total relaxation. The more your body is supported in the poses, the deeper the sense of relaxation. Relaxation is a state in which there is no movement, no effort, and the brain is quiet. This is like doing yoga on a huge comfy couch. You will be glad you joined this class! Please bring yoga mat, blankets, pillows, eye pillow, and the more the comfier. These will serve as props.

Yoga Nidra has the power to transform us at our core. It is based specifically on an ancient Tantric Meditation that leads to inner freedom. All that is required is to lie down and listen. It is a systematic method of complete relaxation and peace, not only for the physical body, but also for the deeper emotional and mental systems. Yoga Nidra will take you on a journey to awaken your senses to deep clarity, vibrant health and radiant joy! This is the meditation of undoing! In this workshop, Kathleen will explain how Yoga Nidra works on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual parts of our being and the benefits and research that have been documented over the past fifty years at various universities and medical schools. Then you will experience Yoga Nidra by lying on your mat or in a chair if you prefer. No DOING, just listen to the guided meditation by Kathleen and allow Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra to take you to your true nature of Bliss! Health Benefits: 1. Proven to permanently lower high blood pressure and cholesterol levels 2. Proven to relieve pain and reduce or eliminate the need for pain medication. Yoga Nidra also addresses the conditions of: 1. Addiction, aggression, ADD 2. Pre and post surgical conditions 3. Anxiety and depression 4. Digestive conditions and more

SATURDAY FUSED GLASS WORKSHOP High School Room 130 Tuition: $30.00 Instructor: Ellie Parker

10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. 1 afternoon April 20

This workshop is an introduction to the fused glass process and to making jewelry or small glass pieces. The materials will include dichroic glass, which its main characteristic is that it transmits one wavelength of light and reflects another. Which means that it displays an array of colors at different angles of view. This makes it an exciting, ideal material for artistic endeavors. You will learn the basic properties of glass as they relate to fusing, and techniques involved in making fused pieces and in cutting glass. Participants can then make some items of their choosing such as earrings or pendants. Emphasis will be on the creative process and on exploring the materials. Finished pieces will need to be fired in a kiln, which is a special oven that takes glass up to temperatures in the range of 12501450 degrees. It takes roughly five hours to complete the kiln firing and cool down process. After pieces have cooled, findings/ bails may be needed to be added on. As this is a one session workshop, workshop leaders will need to glue any bails needed on, and mail jewelry back to participants. Material fee will be $18.00 which includes, mailing finished pieces to participants, and will be collected at the class.
