Yin Yoga and Sound Workshop with Cathy and Molly
Sunday, November 29, 5:30-7:00 pm, $25
All levels, Register by 11/27
Enjoy a deeply meditative evening. The quiet, passive practice of Yin
Yoga promotes introspection, physical opening and increases the flow
of energy by releasing the body's connective tissue. As we hold a
series of poses for longer periods of time, the soothing sounds of the
Tibetan Singing Bowls allow us to easily find stillness and drop into a
meditative state. These unique sounds not only allow us to surrender
to the moment, but also have the ability to break up stagnant energy,
create beautiful fluidity in our bodies', and leave us feeling more
relaxed, soft, and open. Cathy Franzese & Molly Lucido

Holly Staeheli started practicing yoga in the fall of 2009 in an
Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga class at the University of Oregon. Yoga
remained a deeply personal practice for Holly throughout university
where she found self-love, self-care and heightened self-awareness
through the practice of many diverse yoga disciplines. In 2013 with a
degree in Environmental Studies, Holly found her way to the beautiful
Fraser Valley. Her dream to one day teach yoga was there from the
very beginning, but it wouldn't be until June of 2015 that she would
travel to Mysore, India to receive a 200 hour teacher training
certificate in the Primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Holly's
classes are dynamic, and invigorating. Created with correct alignment,
flow and sequencing techniques at the forefront of every lesson.
Designed to open the mind, body, and heart; inviting all those who
attend to become ever more connected and present through
movement and breath.
