Metta Yoga at Prairiewoods: Restorative Yoga Session
<p>Join Metta Yoga instructor Cheryl Lindo for a quarterly restorative yoga class at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for deep relaxation. A restorative yoga sequence typically involves only five or six poses, supported by props that allow us to completely relax and rest. Held for five minutes or more, restorative poses include light twists, seated forward folds and gentle backbends. During the long holds of restorative yoga, our muscles are allowed to relax deeply. It's a unique feeling because props, rather than our own muscles, are used to support our body. Restorative classes are very mellow, making them a good complement to more active practices (as well as our busy lives) and an excellent antidote to stress. Stillness is a powerful practice! This class will be held in lieu of the normally scheduled gentle/beginners class this evening. The cost for all Metta Yoga classes is $60 for a 6-punch card or $99 for an 11-punch card. Bring a friend to try their first class for free and get a free class for yourself! For more information or to register, contact Carla at bremscarla@gmail.com or 319-533-3772.</p> 2020-02-08 18:30:00 -0600

Metta Yoga at Prairiewoods
<p>Experience the healing powers of meditative yoga in the spiritual environment and natural beauty of Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). Join us as we link our movements with our breath and cultivate strength, flexibility and relaxation through regular hatha-style yoga classes. RYT-200 Hour Certified Yoga Alliance Instructors Carla Brems, Cheryl Lindo and Heather English offer six classes at Prairiewoods each week, including Gentle/Beginner’s Yoga (Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30–10:30 a.m. and 5:30–6:30 p.m.) and Chair Yoga (Mondays and Thursdays from 10:45–11:45 a.m.). People of all fitness levels and abilities are encouraged to attend whenever available. Carla Brems enjoys teaching hatha-style yoga in a relaxed atmosphere so that all feel welcome and safe to appreciate and enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that yoga can bring. Recently retired from Cedar Rapids schools, Cheryl Lindo became a certified yoga teacher through a month-long training in India. In addition to yoga she enjoys reading, biking and wandering on nature trails. Heather English began practicing yoga for the mental health benefits and became a yoga instructor in order to share these amazing benefits with others. Heather is inspired by the potential that a regular yoga practice has for impacting so many areas of life. In fact, it was her yoga training that motivated her to begin crafting as a career, to share her crafting with others, and to regularly explore the intersection of yoga and creativity. Let’s see how Carla, Cheryl and Heather can help us benefit from yoga! Please bring your own mat if possible. The cost is $60 for a 6-punch card or $99 for an 11-punch card. Bring a friend to try their first class for free and get a free class for yourself! For more information or to register, contact Carla at bremscarla@gmail.com or 319-533-3772.</p> 2017-08-19 10:30:00 -0500

Saturday Soul-Stretch for Lovers of Embodied Spirituality at Prairiewoods
<p>Wake up! Wake up! The weekend is here. Saturday Soul Stretch will get us out of bed and back into our full-spectrum humanity. Join facilitator Laura Weber at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) to de-stress, reconnect and sink deeply into the present moment. A hot breakfast starts the day, followed by gentle tai chi movement and a sitting meditation to foster deep relaxation. To relax and engage, sip a cup of aromatic tea and enter into a whole new realm of exploration with a different spiritual modality each month, such as dream work, journaling, mandalas, labyrinth, breath-exercise, sounding, centering prayer, poetry for the soul, singing bowl meditation or drumming. To cap off the morning’s spiritual workout, enjoy a mindfulness walk out in the beauty of Prairiewoods’ 70 acres of prairie grasses, trees, streams and gardens, with only the owls, squirrels, turkeys and deer as your companion-guides. Finally, return to the Spirituality Center for a scrumptious luncheon, and leave happy and refreshed. The cost is $50 and includes breakfast and lunch. (You may choose to pay an additional $25 to stay through the afternoon with dinner, or $55 to stay overnight with Sunday breakfast.) For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-01-09 13:00:00 -0600
