Happy New Year Everybody!
We are excited to welcome 2025 with some classes and events that will be fun and nourishing…
Body Maintenance with Juniper Bowers
Sundays from 4:00 — 5:15 PM Beginning January 5
In-studio
Body Maintenance is designed to empower students to work with the myofascial system using simple props you can find in your own home; a wall, a block, a chair, a stick and a ball. Each session will focus on specific props, combining guided instruction with exploration. Fascia, deeply connected to muscle, responds to different stimuli making it essential to address the myofascial system as a whole. This holistic approach helps create balance and ease throughout the body.
Four Consecutive Sundays Beginning on January 5
Cost: $12 drop-in; $10 w/ a Lotus Class Card
Donation Yoga with Jennifer Olson
Thursdays from 5:00 — 6:00 PM
In-studio
Lotus Center is delighted to welcome Jennifer back with the resumption of Donation Yoga; please note the new day and time!
Donation Yoga is a beginner-friendly class for those with little to moderate yoga experience. Each class includes instruction on yoga fundamentals, breath awareness, and a series of gentle yoga postures (known as “asanas”). All levels of physical ability are welcome, and props will be used to accommodate individual needs.
Beginning on January 9
Cost: By donation
Trauma Informed Yoga for Vagal Connection
with Diane Smith
January 25 and February 1 & 8 from 1:00 — 2:15 PM
In-studio
As a means for trauma recovery, yoga is an ideal practice for calming the nervous system while increasing self and body awareness. This workshop offered by Diane Smith will combine some best practices integrating polyvagal theory with yoga asanas, pranayama, chanting, and other eclectic strategies for trauma recovery to help us become more attuned and adept and recognize our vagal/nervous system state. Ideally, these tools can enable us to consciously shift into a place of feeling more grounded and safe in present-moment awareness.
Attend one, two, or all three classes. Everyone is welcome.
Three Consecutive Saturdays Beginning on January 25
Cost: $12 drop-in; $10 w/ a Lotus Class Card

January 25 from 4:00 — 6:30 PM
