Running for slowpokes

I envision this as a pretty casual workshop/running group that would follow the couch-5k training program together, share struggles and successes, and perhaps run a race, if the participants are interested. I am no expert, but I do have some resources and experience to share about the nuts and bolts of running and will likely have various "new runner" friends come by to share their stories and run with us. I think this workshop would be the best fit for woman-identified people ages 16 and up, but will certainly not turn anyone away. For maximum benefit, sign up with a buddy who lives in your neighborhood! Come to first class dressed in comfortable clothing, and the best athletic shoes you have. Have a light dinner or snack and a glass of water about an hour before. bring a water bottle if you like, but there are fountains in the park. We will likely not have a secure place for our valuables, so plan to only have your car or house key with you during class.

Facilitator's experience: 
I was one of those chubby, asthmatic kids who spent weeks anxiously dreading having to run "the mile" in PE class as part of the presidential fitness testing. No one ever taught me how to run, nor impressed upon me why I might actually WANT to do something that seemed like sheer torture, physically and psychologically. Fast-forward 15 years and I started feeling envious of the people I saw running around the lakes on a nice day, and thought maybe I could learn to do it too. A couple false starts later, I now have about a year of running under my belt and would love to support others in conquering an old nemesis, or just trying something new.

Yoga *Registration Closed*

The Benefits of a Yoga Practice:

-Reduces stress

-Relaxation

-Creates awareness

-Strength and flexibility

-Releases toxins in the body

-Conscious breathing and stretching gives a sense of calm and wellbeing

Goals for the Class:

I would like to guide the class through an invigorating, yet gentle yoga practice, one that  strengthens, relaxes, and is restorative.  One that  touches upon joy and gladness for simply being here.  I would also like to show the class how they can develop a personal home practice.

Yoga & Writing

We all have stories to tell, spun of a lifetime of experience, wisdom, and imagination.  The wriiten word is a great tool for self-discovery, finding your voice, and creative expression.  I have found writing helps me get to the heart of something on my mind, become aware of important information just below the surface of my awareness, or become conscious of a new layer of truth.

Combining yoga and a writing practice can enhance one another to activate different kinds of learning and parts of the brain.  In each class I will be guiding everyone through some yoga postures, breath work, and meditation so that we can all stretch, relax, and gently open our minds and bodies to the wisdom and creativity we have within.   I will be creating each yoga sequence specifically to complement the writing prompts we work on afterwards.   Additionally, there will be an online forum where we can tap into our collective wisdom on the writing process, yoga philosophy as it relates to writing, and other related writing topics.
