Happy Hour Indeed: Strong Flow. Deep Rest.
with Lika Elwood & Daisy Whittemore
Last Fridays of the month: January 30, February 27 & March 27, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Grace, Silver Spring, MD
This evening practice strikes a sweet balance of power and play, movement & stillness, strength & relaxation, leaving you refreshed, and at peace. Lika will lead an engaging vinyasa flow encouraging students to find both the power and the play in their practice. We will work hard. And play hard. Daisy will follow with a guided savasana, known as Yoga Nidra (or yogic sleep), a form of meditation that leads awareness though various levels of mental process settling the nervous system and cultivating an inner sanctuary of well-being, calmness, and clarity. It is a great way to kick off your weekend.

Yoga Playtime: Backbends Made More Fun (with two Yogis who aren’t big fans)!
with Lika Elwood and Daisy Whittemore
Sunday, March 29: 2 – 4pm
extendYoga, North Bethesda, MD
Do backbends bum you out or make you nervous? Do you always opt for bridge pose when it’s time for backbends in class? Is it hard for you to press up into wheel? Or maybe you just want to learn more about how to make your backbends better?
Join Lika and Daisy—two yogis who don’t claim backbends as their favorites—for a playful workshop to make better friends with backbends in your practice. We will help you understand and work on what parts of you that need opening, and what parts of you need strengthening. We’ll explore why it’s important to tap into the not-so-favorite poses and why/how they can help your practice in general. We also hope to bring a little more levity to your backbend practice, both in body and spirit. It will actually be fun. We promise. Join us!
All levels welcome.
Cost: $30 per person (pre-registration required). Sign up here.

Backbending in a #selfcare way for me today is very #restorative. Lying down on my handmade #bolster (thanks @kathybaird, http://www.bolsterwear.com) with Charlie looking on, making sure all is okay. Snowing outside, soft, lovely snow. This little old lady is whispering “hush.”
