LAYA's 30th Anniversary Celebration - September 6th 8:15-12:30p.m.
We are offering two Yoga workshops , tea, water, and lunch to celebrate 30 years of Lakes Area Yoga Association! Ashley Vasas will instruct Treat Your Feet and Healthy, Happy Hips Yoga sessions. Once you register we will send a separate email with a google form to choose your lunch option: Veggie Hummus Wrap, or Ham/Turkey Sandwich. Veggies and Hummus and local brand Just Juice will be included in the lunch.
Treat Your Feet: With this unique combination of yoga and self-massage techniques, you will feel more stable and balanced and move with ease. Most of this workshop is done standing. If standing for long periods of time is a challenge for you, it can be adapted to be done seated in a chair.
Healthy, Happy Hips: In this workshop, you’ll engage in mindful exercises, deep tissue release, and stretches that improve your range of motion. This will culminate in the rejuvenating Happy Baby pose (Ananda Balasana), which will leave you limber and lighter. We’ll end with a calming Savasana, providing you with the perfect opportunity to reset your body and mind after our journey.
