We hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving and we thank all of you who participated in our Food Drive - proceeds were delivered to the Sparrow's Nest food pantry and the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia.
This month we'll continue our community outreach efforts by collecting coats and jackets for our local charities and cash donations for the brainReConnect yoga program.
This month's special classes and events include our annual Holiday Celebration this week, a special holiday stress-busting Yin & Yoga Nidra workshop the week before Christmas, and two special Intention Setting practices before the New Year. We also have Medicine Dance mid-month and our Beginners Yoga Series will kick off the New Year on Sundays starting January 8.
Holiday specials on class passes, memberships, services, and gifts will run through the end of the year - details available in our newsletters, on the bulletin board, and on our website!

December Community Outreach
|
Balance Coat Drive
November 27 - December 31
We'll collect gently used coats and jackets for women, men, and children during the month of December to be donated to local charities supporting homeless and underprivileged residents in our community. Clean out those closets and help someone in need stay warm this winter.
brainREconnect Fund Drive
As part of the brainREconnect Support Group, Balance offers yoga weekly to members. We underwrite a portion of the cost, and brainREconnect uses grant funds for the remainder. Balance is committed to serving the community we live in, and this program is part of that commitment, but we need your help!
Can you pitch in to help a someone struggling with the after affects of a stroke? All cash donations received will go 100% toward the Balance/brainREconnect yoga program.

Holiday Stress-buster
This special holiday yin practice is designed to nourish and support the organs of digestion, promote energy and prevent infection by balancing spleen and stomach chi.
When spleen and stomach energies are balanced, our cycles are in harmony. We feel grounded and full, with a sense of being at home inside ourselves. When out of balance, we have weak energy, anxiety and off- centeredness and our sleeping, breathing and thinking rhythms will be off.
Come nourish your body- mind- spirit with this two hour practice that will ease you into the holidays in harmony with the joy of the season.
Following the yin practice will be a fluid and graceful yang flow, holding on to our yin energy. We will finish with a 15 minute yoga Nidra guided relaxation.
Class will be suitable for all levels.
