Christmas Yoga workshop

The Christmas Yoga workshop will focus on comfort and joy!

Christmas is the season of ‘comfort and joy’, the holiday that draws our attention to our deepest emotions and spiritual feelings. Even so, with the stress of commercialism and social pressure, sometimes it’s easy to forget the true meaningfulness of this most joyous time of year. Yoga is a gift to your self; a small present to cherish and receive the joy and sharing that is the heart of Christmas. Once renewed, we are better able – through increased health and a calm mind – to love and care for others.

The Christmas Yoga workshop will focus on the traditional cold weather asanas (poses) that generate heat, to warm the body and overcome stiffness. Asanas specific to increased circulation will allow warm blood to rush into areas of stagnation, to improve the bodies overall function. There will be immunity asanas to build the bodies resistance to and recovery from disease, and detoxifying asanas, that naturally flush impurities and toxins that have accumulated in the body.

Already it looks to be a cold winter. Couple cold and flu season with increased outdoor activity (shopping), the usual hustle and bustle of the holidays, and taking time out for a Yoga workshop only makes sense – especially a Yoga routine that emphasizes preventative healthcare. Yoga will help us to enjoy the holidays, not be miserable.

Remember that true Christmas is in our heart, and the best way to share sincere comfort and joy with others is by opening our heart to being happy, healthy and whole. Yoga shows us the way.
