Thursday June 18th • 6:30-8:30PM

Join us on Thursday June 18th to welcome the radiant qualities of Summer! 

As we move out of the Spring season, it’s a time to burn bright and bring the seeds of our intentions to fruition.

Allow certified yoga instructor and sound healer, Karen Powers, to guide you through a 75-minute yin-yoga practice followed by a 45-min immersive sound experience. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Summer is the season of the Fire Element, representing expansive energy and activity. During this season, the practice of Yin provides a cooling element to our rising energy through ground-based poses (asanas) that target the Heart & Small Intestine meridians, thus helping to balance your energy and prevent burnout, increased anxiety, and excessive internal heat. 

Bathing in sound from crystal and metal singing bowls, chimes, rain sticks, and other sound instruments activates your parasympathetic nervous system which helps your body "rest and digest". The deep rhythmic tones can help reduce stress, improve sleep, loosen tight muscles, improve circulation and so much more, deepening your sense of ease, flow, and harmony in the body.

Let us come together, honor this sacred time of year, and tap into its potent energy!

From her first yoga class, Karen found herself drawn to the spiritual and philosophical teachings of yoga.  Her Yin classes offer students a chance to find a deeper connection with body and spirit through mindful stillness.  Her other classes combine the styles of both Hatha and Prana Vinyasa Flow, encouraging students to find the fluidity in their bodies, allowing the sequences to flow like a beautiful dance of mind, body and spirit.  As someone who found her way to yoga through a difficult time in her life, she offers more than just a physical practice, with the intention to help inspire and restore the well-being of all who join her on the mat. 

Karen has 800 hours of yoga certification.  She began practicing in 2009, received her 200-hour certification in Hatha Yoga with Katherine Conte at Focus Yoga in May 2011, and her 300-hour certification in Prana Flow with Coral Brown at Laughing Elephant Yoga in December 2014.  In April of 2017 she completed a two-part Yin Yoga Immersion training with Jenn Thomas and  Dr. Tracey M.
