As we move through the Hebrew calendar from the month of Cheshvan into the month of Kislev during this year of Shmita/Release (שמיטה) we continue to quiet and deepen into the realm of rest and dreams. At the same time, we celebrate Hannukah, the festival of lights during this time of darkness.

The overall theme of the series is based upon a teaching on the word Hanukkah, חֲנוּכָּה, which can be translated as 'And they rested in the light of creation". Each week we will embody different aspects of light and rest via gentle yet active movement, Iyengar-based yoga, restorative yoga and free form dance. Embody the energies of illumination and awakening while at the same time resting more deeply into yourself and into the earth.

This class is offered for everyone, all levels are welcome. The movement & yoga practices will generally consist of gentle floor warm ups, standing postures, seated twists, and extra time for final resting poses. Some classes will also include music and free-form movement.
