Women's Empowerment Group Uncover the power to live your dreams! We can offer more to the world when we are empowered through our body, mind and spirit. This class will focus on learning how to be the person you want to be through yoga, nutrition and financial abundance. Taking good care of our bodies and minds and connecting with our spirits seem to be the obvious choices for many of us who are looking to live a fulfilled life. Especially those of us pursuing a spiritual path frequently overlook financial issues on our road to wellbeing.

In this unique class you will learn how to nourish your body as well as how to cultivate attitudes of abundance. Classes will meet weekly for 6 weeks. Each week you will learn a concept that will nurture you on your path to financial wellbeing.

Session Intensive — Here’s an opportunity for you to see what your body could really do when properly warmed up and prepared for a pose! You will surprise yourself! In this three-our intensive you will work with the theme and focus pose of the 8-week session. With three hours we will dive deeply into all of the aspects of the pose and completely prepare your body to move as deeply as possible into the focus pose. Rather than focusing on just one aspect of the pose as we do of necessity with only 1-1/4 hour class, we will explore all aspects of what it will take to move your body into the particular asana. You will know more completely what exactly it is that stands in your way and very likely find that it is less of an obstacle when you’ve had more time to prepare your body. Be prepared to be amazed. Really! Prerequisites: Please be registered into the current series to attend the intensive or call to make a request to attend. Saturday, October 31 and Saturday, December 12
