Come to one class and leave with confidence and knowledge of how to meditate and still the mind. Learn the theory of Raja Yoga based upon the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient and sacred yoga text that first systemized yoga.

Love Thy Self with Alana Greenberg
Saturday, February 11th
6pm-8pm
$50 (Workshop plus a free Anjali Aromatics Gift!)
As we care for others amidst the busyness of life, we typically do not have the time (or forget to take the time!) to care for ourselves. In this workshop we will call upon the wisdom of Ayurveda to help us discover quick and easy tools to help us take care of ourselves and keep us healthy and strong, especially during the winter season.
Built into the healing methodology of Ayurvedic Medicine is the art of Dinacharya – daily SELF CARE. Each day, we can perform simple rituals of wellness to keep us in balance. Come explore which daily self-care practices are right for you based on your dosha: Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Learn which foods and spices are best for your ideal digestion; which massage oils are right for your body-type; which breathing practices enhance your well-being; which aromas can re-ignite the spark of self-love this Valentine’s Day. You will leave with a daily regimen designed specifically for you - a gift of wellness for yourself.
Workshop includes a Valentine’s Day gift from Anjali Aromatics, a local Aromatherapy company inspired by Ayurveda, co-founded by Alana Layne Greenberg and Beth Greenberg. www.anjaliaromatics.com.

Moments before battle, the prince Arjuna faces his biggest challenge. Seeing kinsmen arrayed against him, he loses heart and declares that he cannot fight. In the midst of his despondency, he turns to Krishna who removes his confusion and doubt and lays bare before him the essence of yoga. Just as Krishna guided Arjuna, we learn in this class how to let the Bhagavad Gita guide us to the peace we seek in the midst of our worldly responsibilities
