Hot Yoga, Cooking Lessons, Thanksgiving Feast, and Art Show
with Michele Baker, Anne Churchill, and Lynda Frese
Saturday November 8
Annual Thanksgiving Celebration...
Yoga Saute'...cook our body eat for our Soul, surround ourselves by art
"Sky Yogi " by in house artist Lynda Frese
Learn how to create a healthy, well
balanced, delicious vegan meal for Thankgiving dinner and a tasty
delicacy of the mind and body!
Simmering Yoga with Michele Baker 5-7pm
Through alignment based flowing movement, and with the heat slightly turned up, we will get on the cutting board to dice stagnation with internal heat, then saute ourselves by honoring any uneasiness, and then bring our strong will to a boil with the delicious, delectable Highest Self revealed for dessert, as we honor our body as a gourmet instrument of cuisine!
The dharma talk will be on the topic of Kleshas, or "obstacles on the path", provoking a ritual of gratitude for them, as they have brought us here to this point in our lives now. From this place, compassion arises as we cook ourselves down and burn through them with "Tapas" (burning discipline) and "Ishwara Pranidanani"( uninterupted study of the Self)
We will then place ourselves on low heat for Savasana, followed by...
Vegan Cooking Class with Anne Churchill. 7-9pm
Learn
how to cook a vegan meal that leaves the mouth and soul inspired.
Create mouth watering consciousness , honoring the earth, all beings,
our local community, and our bodies.

November 22 "Any Meal Into A Feast"
Anusara Workshop with Cat McCarthy
Come savor the fruits of the fall harvest! Any chef knows that to truly appreciate the bounty of the season, we must create a delicious meal
packed with nutrition, love, and positive intention.
The same spirit exists on the yoga mat—by mixing essential tamasic and rajasic ingredients with our deepest desires, we cultivate a more sattvic and robust practice.
In this 3-hour heart and hip opening workshop, we will explore the yoga of “cooking “ ourselves with the full spectrum of flavor, creating a roux of our hearts, minds, and bodies. Marinating each pose within the Anusara Yoga® Universal Principles of Alignment, we will juice up our practice with an optimal balanced diet. With gratitude, a veracious appetite, and an open heart, we can turn any meal into a feast.
Come play and to share your yogic recipe with your fellow cooks.
All levels Welcome!!
