FEATURED WORKSHOPS
Winter Warmer with James Foulkes
Saturday, December 13th | 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST | In-Studio | Cost: $60
During the winter months our energies tend to naturally be drawn inwards as nature becomes still and the cold weather and long nights draw in. But something deeper is at work.
​
The water energy of winter is an expression of maximum Yin and responsiveness. We will balance the Yin nature of the gentle cleansing Yoga stretches and breathwork with complementary Yang Qi Gong practices, whilst using meditation, to support the sustaining of our energetic field through the colder months working with the active kidney and bladder energy.
This time is also one of incubating ideas and intentions to manifest in the spring. We will establish multi-layered intentions to blossom in the forthcoming year by peering into the shadows of Winter through journeying.

Four Seasons of Forest Bathing
with Susan West Montgomery
Saturday, December 20th | 3:00pm - 4:30pm EST | Rock Creek Park | $40
Follow the Wheel of the Year with seasonal forest bathing sessions in Rock Creek Park!
Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is a Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature.
These can be especially powerful during the times of transition offered by the changing seasons. Each walk will follow a different route, but all will allow us to experience this familiar landscape at
different times of the year.
You will be invited to slow down, to be curious, and to touch, smell, hear, and see nature more fully. The walks will not be strenuous but requires the ability to walk a mile or so on uneven surfaces.
