Discover the unique gift of connecting with your face through Face Yoga - a natural, holistic approach to a radiant appearance and stronger mind-boy connection.

Face Yoga uses targeted facial exercises to tone, massage techniques to relax facial muscles, and marma therapy to delve deeper into the tension and energetics the face and head can hold. Combined, and with regular practice, we lift the skin, increase blood circulation, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve overall skin health, resulting in plumper, glowing skin. Better circulation also supports concentration and can help relive headaches. Beyond physical benefits, a daily face-focused practice boosts energy and encourages a deeper connection with yourself. Taking a few minutes each day to look at your face, read its signals, and listen to your inner voice helps you prioritize self-care, feel joy more freely, and deepen your personal practice. Join Hollie for a fun, hands-on workshop to explore these techniques and reveal a new depth to your practice.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to register soon to reserve your spot!

"The experiences that were sown in the clay of your heart, almost unknown to you, now yield their fruit."

John O'Donohue

Join Amanda for a special 90-minute yoga practice to harvest seeds of growth and inspiration in your life!

The workshop will begin with a grounding meditation to invite inward awareness, preparing your heart for our practice. You'll then be guided through gentle yoga movements to stretch, strengthen and balance your physical body. The practice will then shift into an immersive sound bath experience, as you ease into a state of supported rest. You will enjoy a soundscape of English horn, Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, Koshi chimes, rainsticks and other resonant instruments.

Arrive to deepen your connection with yourself...and emerge with the essence of inner harvest in your spirit!

***Please note that this is a ticketed class that is non-refundable (but can be transferred to another person or to a later date for a sound bath). We appreciate your understanding.

What could be more delightful than practicing yoga on an early fall morning in Surreybrooke Gardens with yoga friends?

Meet us under the Lark Pavilion at 10:00am for a 60 minute Gentle Yoga Class with MSY Teacher, Elaine. No prior experience needed - all are welcome! Bring your yoga mat. Chairs will be available.

After yoga, we will enjoy a 60 minute guided tour through the winding paths of Surreybrooke, led by its owner and gardener, Nancy Walz. We will explore the extensive, colorful gardens and be entertained with stories about the historical outbuildings.

The tour will take us back to the Lark Pavilion where we can enjoy our picnic lunch. Bring your own lunch and chat with yoga friends. There will be plenty of time to wander the gardens and visit the retail store after the event.

Our previous visits to the garden were in May and July. We can't wait to see the changes early fall will bring!

***Please note that this event will be held rain or shine!
