Sound Bowl Meditation for Vitality

Bridget returns to Strongheart to guide us to a state of deep relaxation and meditation with the soothing sounds  of her chakra-tuned crystal singing bowls. The chakras are the seven energy centers within us; each representing a specific body/mind energy. As we settle back comfortably and let the vibration wash over us, Bridget will use her beautiful bowls and skill as a practitioner to rinse away the tension that binds up those energy centers.

Friends & Partners Yoga

In honor of February 14th, we thought we’d celebrate togetherness for all—friends or romantic partners. Our connections sustain us and make life worthwhile, so let’s celebrate unity with yoga! Grab your partner or a yoga buddy and come have some fun. Everyone is welcome. Price per Duo is $30.

Partner yoga is a great way to enhance and enliven your practice with the spirit of play! Regain your childlike nature, let go, and enjoy life through movement, breath, and touch. The leverage and assistance gained by having a trusted partner can help take you deeper into poses with less effort.

You may have seen some high-flying acro-yoga poses around the internet. This class will not be that! We’ll practice poses that are available to everyone. You might bring along a partner who has never tried yoga and let them experience some FUN yoga. You might bring someone who you practice alongside often and bring some laughter and lightheartedness to your yoga. The only requirement is a willingness to enjoy!

Dharma Talks & Community Meditation

Dharma Talks & Community Meditation with Pattie McCann ERYT
Sunday Evenings in August / 6pm to 6:45 - 7pm / August 4 (in person & virtual), 11, 18, 25 (virtual only)
FREE

Yoga is as much about sparking our deeper insight, imagination, and inspiration for life as it is about moving our bodies into any shape. With yoga philosophy and wisdom as a guide, Pattie will begin a discussion about how it applies to the lives we’re living and experiencing now.

From a brief description of a little yogic knowledge (20 minutes or less), everyone will be encouraged to share their own insights on the chosen topic. From there we’ll move into a meditation together.

We’ll encourage everyone to share their thoughts and experiences, so our time may vary slightly. We’ll allow 15 minutes to settle into stillness and meditation and finish the evening by 7pm at the latest.

Our first Dharma Talk on August 4th will be hybrid, so anyone can join us in the studio or from the comfort of home. Our topic for August 4th will be: Yoga & Our Difficult Emotions.

The following weeks will be Livestream virtual meetings.

Everyone is welcome to join these free community discussions. Every voice is valuable!
