Restorative Yoga and Sound Bath
Nicole Schoeppner is a sound explorer and uses an array of instruments including gongs, chimes, stringed and crystal instruments. Nicole will create soothing harmonic sounds and gentle vibrations to encourage your mind and body to release and relax. Mike Curtis will lead the restorative yoga so that we will be in positions conducive to the experience and he will lead us into about 12 different supported postures using bolsters, blankets and blocks. Sound supports the yoga experience and the yoga supports the sound experience. We are bringing these two arts together for a greater positive outcome. While in this relaxed and aware state the harmonic tones and vibrations will cleanse, recharge, and balance the mind, body and spirit. The yoga restorative poses will also help us find relaxation, alignment and balance. Energetically, emotionally and physically you may feel tension begin to slip away replaced by feelings of well being and ease.
Leave this sound bath feeling more relaxed, creative and connected to your true heart-centered self. Any pain, tension, or anxiety felt before the session may be greatly reduced.
Please try to arrive by about 6:15 or 6:20, so we can welcome you and help you get set up. If for some reason you experience any problems trying to sign up, don't worry--we can do it at the door.

Free Form Improv Drum Circle - 2nd Fridays with Merging Hearts
Come and have some fun beating on your drum, dance if you get the chance, chant if your spirit moves you. Join us for a drum circle at Yoga Central the second Friday of the month (6:45-8pm), running through the winter months. These are donation-based sessions. Please bring your own drum or percussion instrument. Be creative: a plastic egg partially filled with raw lentils, rice, or beans makes a great homemade percussion instrument!
Drum circles have a rich history in all cultures of providing a meditative way to relax at the end of the day. Join us for a fun community-building drum circle.
It is helpful if you pre-register for free, and have an account with your e-mail address and phone number, then we can contact you with important details, or any changes.
Led by Sally and Heather.

T'ai Chi for Health & Relaxation with Laura - Ongoing Series
T'ai Chi Ch'uan is literally translated as “supreme ultimate boxing”. The “supreme ultimate” part refers to the Chinese concept of the origin of the universe. Out of the infinite potential of the void arises the dual principles of yin and yang. Yang being the male, warm, forceful, light principle, and Yin being the female, cool, yielding, dark principle. Neither one of these principles is superior to the other, and both are necessary because each contains some of the other. They are two sides of the same coin. The yin-yang symbol is also a symbol of T'ai Chi. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is a harmonious dance of yin and yang sometimes referred to as “meditation in motion”.
T’ai Chi was originally practiced as a martial art emphasizing strength and speed. Through time it has evolved into a gentle form of exercise that can be practiced by people of all ages. It consists of a sequence of movements that are performed slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth, even transitions.
This is a six week series with classes meeting once per week: The cost is $65 per person
