In Pilates, we work the body through an effective series of core exercises designed by Joseph Pilates which are executed both standing and on the mat. We work every muscle, and lengthen every part of the body to create a toned, balanced and strong physique. We also stress the effectiveness of connecting your breath to the movement for the most effective workout for both your mind and body. No previous experience necessary.
Bring a water, and a yoga strap if you have one.

Michele Insley, E-RYT 500, will be teaching Kripalu Yoga. This all-levels gentle hatha yoga class is taught in the tradition of Kripalu Yoga, known as the “yoga of compassion.” This style of yoga is accessible to everyone and every-body. It places an emphasis on meditation, physical healing, and spiritual transformation that overflows from the yoga mat into daily life. Postures and breath are used to release tension, stretch, and strengthen the body and cultivate overall physical health and mental wellness. Each class ends with time for relaxation.
Michele’s primary training is through the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health where she is certified at the 500-hour level. She has over 4000 teaching hours and is considered an ‘experienced teacher’. She is devoted to her yoga studies and continues her education in yoga asana (the physical practice) as well as yogic philosophy and history, and the “deeper practices” of yoga. As a result, she is influenced and inspired by a variety of teachers in other styles of yoga which include yin yoga, ashtanga yoga and various meditation practices.

Thursday, February 15, 2024
7pm
Program cost: $30

The Solfeggio Tones originated as six frequencies proven effective at healing the body. They were found in Gregorian Chants, lost and then found again, and researched for results. Three more have since been added, all following a pattern, but we will start with the initial six, using different ones each time that work well together. They are 396hz, 417hz, 528hz, 639hz, 741hz, 852hz. Occasionally chimes, drum beats, and other tones will be included for variation and receptivity.
This is one of many styles of Sound Baths. Comfortably lie down, and just take it in. We hope you try it!
Bonnie Fedge is a Reiki Master, Advanced Akashic Records, is completing her certification in Essential Oils and has used the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for years. She is also a Sound Bath teacher and facilitator.

Journeying on Thursdays - Sacred Conversations Info Session with Dawn Tolley & Sue Johnson
2024-02-29 13:00 - 14:00
The Sacred Art of Conversation Info Session
Generous Listening & Asking Better Questions
Based on Krista Tippett’s “On Being Project”
Your hosts and facilitators are Dawn Tolley and Sue Johnson, who have a passion to learn and grow in community!
Please join us for an information session about the Sacred Art of Conversation. You will gain more information as to how we create a warm, welcoming, and safe space in community, to take up the hard questions of our time and for renewing our common life. We believe there is value in learning to speak together honestly and relate to each other with dignity, without rushing to common ground that would leave all the hard questions hanging. We will learn about how to practice together in order to live together differently.
“This is civic work and it is human spiritual work – in the most expansive 21st century sense of that language. We can learn from our time what moral imagination, social healing, and civil discourse can look like and how they work. And so it us up to us, where we live, to start having the conversations we want to be hearing, and creating the realities we want to inhabit.” Krista Tippett
