Did you know that your fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that runs throughout the entire body, from the top of the head to the tips of the toes. It is kind of like a glove connecting all of our parts together. Recent studies have shown that it is the largest sensory organ, even larger than your skin! Want to know more about this amazing organ?

Come join Chrissy for a full body, fascia stretch, strength and support session. Together we will discover what our fascia is and what it does. We will also learn helpful tips on how to nourish and support this amazing internal armor as well as move our bodies through a fun and creative sequence.

Wind down your week at this unique yoga class with Reiki. The evening will combine a mellow, restorative yoga practice led by Kate while individually receiving Reiki from Summer. Everyone is welcome.

Ayurveda, Sanskrit for the "science of life", is India's 5,000-year-old medical system. It is commonly referred to as Yoga's sister science, as both are rooted in the ancient Vedic tradition.

Yoga teaches us how to balance our mind, while Ayurveda teaches us how to balance our body through the use of food, herbs, and living in harmony with nature. 

The latter is most important during times of seasonal transition when we are encouraged to modify our diet, lifestyle, and even our Yoga practice to adapt to the changes happening around us.

Earlier this month the kitchen at our local Meals on Wheels location was forced to purchase a new compressor for their 25 year old, industrial-sized freezer.  Total cost of the compressor with parts and labor was $4000. Please help us raise funds for this valuable community program to help offset the cost for the compressor.

Join Kate on Thursday March 9th at 6pm at Donaldson's Crossroads for an All Levels Gentle Yoga class. All donations will go to Meals on Wheels. Suggested donation is $25.

Join Kate for this informal discussion on the book Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey.

The February theme at Lakeview is Rest and Relaxation and this book by Tricia Hersey explores the reasons why rest is so important not just for our own self care - but for the care of our entire community. We hope you will join us.

REST IS RESISTANCE BY TRICIA HERSEY

We all know that rest is integral to a healthy life. But when we have full time jobs, kids, parents, and many other responsibilities it can be impossible to find time to fully rest. I received my Relax and Renew Restorative Yoga Teacher certification when my kids were 3 and 1. I had all the props and knowledge to cultivate a regular restorative practice, but my kids and my work schedule had other ideas. The techniques I will share with you at this workshop are habits I have developed over the past 15 years to incorporate rest and relaxation into my busy, daily life. I will also offer ways to practice restorative yoga from home without using props or with the support of common household items.

"Beginner's Mind" is a Buddhist practice that encourages approaching activities with an open mind, allowing us to more fully appreciate the present moment. All are welcome.

There is nothing more magical than the peak days of summer when the flowers are in full bloom and abundant. Create bundles of flowers and herbs for your own personal use with Summer Voelker, Lakeview Yoga instructor and owner of Kindred Flower Farm.

Summer will begin this class by grounding into our needs and desires, and then, with clarity and mindfulness, guide us to create our flower bundles.

The flowers will begin fresh and then slowly dry over the coming weeks. This contemplative time can be spent continuing to infuse them with intention and appreciating the beauty in transition. Bundles can then be saved or burned.

All of the flowers are grown chemical free, using sustainable practices.

Breathing is foundational to life and our yoga practice. On average, a person takes 23,040 breaths a day; yet have you ever considered how your breathing affects you physically, mentally or emotionally? The way we breathe affects every cell of our body and studies are showing that by changing our breathing patterns we can restore balance to stress responses, soothe an agitated mind and relieve symptoms of anxiety. In this experiential workshop we will explore simple yet effective breath-work you can use to enhance personal resiliency. There are not contraindications to participating in this workshop.

A drum circle is a celebration of life, community, and spontaneous music-making. The session will be led by Karen Romano of Inner Rutz in Mt. Lebanon, who guides the group in rhythms and rhythm-based activities. Participants sit in a circle while playing drums and hand percussion to create a group rhythm. Bring your family, friends and neighbors and make some music!

No musical experience is needed! The group will learn how the proper technique to play hand drums and then off we’ll go to create rhythms, play games and make music together. The benefits of a drumming are more numerous than imagined but do include reducing stress, boosting the immune system, stimulating creativity, and having FUN!

Drum Circle will be held outdoors in the yard at Bombash & Earley, 628 E. McMurray Rd.

There is a fundamental opportunity for happiness right within our reach, yet we usually miss it – ironically while we are caught up in attempts to escape pain and suffering. Drawn from traditional Buddhist wisdom, Pema’s radical and compassionate advice for what to do when things fall apart in our lives goes against the grain of our usual habits and expectations. There is only one approach to suffering that is of lasting benefit, Pema teaches, and that approach involves moving toward painful situations with friendliness and curiosity, relaxing into the essential groundlessness of our entire situation. It is there, in the midst of chaos, that we can discover the truth and love that are indestructible.

The Book of Joy, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, with Douglas Abrams

Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships - or, as they would say, because of them - they are two of the most joyful people on the planet.

In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hope would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering?

They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our times and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.
