SUNDAY at 12PM!
Savasana Secrets Workshop at Samskara Yoga & Healing

We call savasana the most important posture in a yoga class, but not because it means we are done! Learn why we “take a nap” at the end of yoga and how to make those minutes the most effective part of your class.

Why do we move (asana) before we rest (savasana)?
How does savasana differ from rest?
What is the best way to DO savasana?
Learn this and more, plus get plenty of time to rest, digest, and savasana (without the yoga!)

Schedule: March 15 @ 12PM, $10/person. Register at events.samskara.yoga

In this beginner meditation workshop, you will learn three types of meditation and how to prepare for each, including how to begin and finish a meditation. We will also discuss meditation journals and other tools for mindfulness.
