Massage Therapy Group Share with Neely Hunter

All Massage Therapists welcome. We’ll spend approximately 30 minutes in open discussion about community, business, or practices that relate to or challenge our profession. This is a state license renewal year so questions about policy or law changes, advertising and gift certificate requirements are on the agenda. After discussion we’ll use our Yamuna Body Rolling balls to review what we learned in our MT Self-Care class and work out some of our kinks! Didn’t take the class? No worries, join us anyway – we’ll share. MT’s will a ball kit should bring it. This is a community share – no studio charge applies. RSVP

Full Moon Yin Yoga with Karen Lucas

Set the tone for the upcoming holiday months… for a stress-free and relaxed you!

Join Karen and celebrate the full moon with a Yin Yoga. In Yin-style yoga the poses are held for around 3 minutes and have a quality of stillness. This works deeply into the hips, pelvis, spine and shoulders to unlock tensions. After you have experienced Yin Yoga even just once, you will realize its profound benefits.

This is a community class – donations are welcome. Give what you can! RSVP
