Restore Yourself with Ayurveda & Yoga
Friday, Jan. 16, 7:00-8:30PM
At Vergennes Movement, 179 Main Street, 2nd floor, Vergennes, VT (stairs access only)
It’s time to book your spot for the monthly Restorative Ayurveda & Yoga Workshop in Vergennes!
This workshop will support the momentum many of us feel in January to reset body and mind at the new year. However, rather than strive for something we are not or do not have access to, we will focus our energy on harnessing the gifts that we already hold, both inside ourselves and outside in our lives. It’s time to reconnect and reclaim ourselves!
Therapeutic practices we’ll engage include intention-setting prompts, Yoga Nidra guided relaxation meditation, centering breathwork, simple guided body oiling, gentle Yoga movements, and prolonged restorative Yoga postures. Not sure what this all means? Think deep relaxation, self-care, kindred community presence, and nervous system reset!
REGISTER IN ADVANCE BY EMAIL to Sarah@ElevateYouWell.com!
Audience: Open to all levels of interest and experience.
Cost: Sliding scale $25-$40 per person.

Ecstatic Dance & Yoga Experience
Saturday, Jan. 31, 6:30-8:00PM
At Vergennes Movement, 179 Main Street, 2nd floor, Vergennes, VT (stairs access only)
Attune to the wisdom of your body, a vehicle for deeper connection to body-mind-spirit. Through embodiment of yoga practices and free form dance, we shall move, release, and restore in community, clearing pathways to our hearts, our healing, and the collective.
Not sure what to expect?! Ecstatic dance involves intuitive free form movement and is a somatic tool for managing mental and emotional health. We shall offer yoga practices to support your experience, beginning with intention-setting, breathwork, and a gentle warm-up, and concluding with a savasana meditation and rest. Follow the music, follow the flow, and follow your heart!
