Uncovering YOUR Fullest Expression with Lisa Horoff
Saturday December 9th - 12-1:15pm - $30
This monthly class will be addressing your questions around the body. We all live in different physical structures and we should be honoring them as they are, perfectly imperfect. The more body awareness we have around the poses and our breath, the more we can sink into them or know when enough is enough. The story is being written while you are on the mat.
This class is to help you honor, learn and trust your body in YOUR body's fullest expression.
We will be discussing
Alignment of the poses and how to keep your body safe
What tools we could use for fullest expression
What may be holding you back
The Inter-Relations of your Core strength & True North within JIP The Importance of mobility of the Shoulder & Hips within JIP
Foundations of Arm Balances and Inversions Practice
Come with questions, ideas, what are you working on? This will be a chance for open discussion on what you are struggling with or confused about within your practice.

Winter Solstice: 108 Sun Salutations
with Lisa Horoff
Thursday December 21 - 2-4pm - $25
Happy Winter Solstice! Let the days become lighter and lighter!
The Winter Solstice, the longest day of darkness and the changing of the seasons, marks the end of the shortest, darkest days and the beginning of new light, life, and opportunities. Around this time, yoga really takes on a new life. 108 Sun Salutations is one way that yogis celebrate the change of a brighter sky.
The physical practice is like a mini yoga marathon that puts to the test your physical and mental endurance. Your mind may come up with a lot of reasons you can’t do it, can you put those thought fluctuations to the side? Can you instead focus on here and now, being present, and adapting as needed? It is a cleansing and purifying process of body, mind, and spirit. There’s a tremendous power in the process, even if you do not fully complete it.
Possibilities are endless….We complete 9 sets of 12 Sun Salutations, alternating directions with each set (East, West, North, South) In the sequence of completing 5 sets of A and 4 sets of Sun B= 9 sets. You will complete this 12 times. We will discuss the safety of a vigorous practice and how we can change the salutation to meet your needs. Using intentions, mudras, affirmations to move you forward into your practice.
You’re stronger than you think! Everyone & Anyone welcome!
