Grace,Strength & Healing-Saturday, March 22 10:00am to 12:30pm

The intent of yoga is not only to increase our strength and flexibility, but also to promote health and vitality. The next layer is to transform our behavior from coarse to gracious, and to transform even our very thoughts, from chaos to beauty. Experience Max Strom’s unique prana-flow class, with emphasis on emotional transformation. Class will include a short talk, vinyasa-flow, non-dogmatic philosophy, breathing, and meditation.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness, March 22nd 2:00pm to 4:30pm

Forgiveness is perhaps the most powerful tool we have for healing ourselves. To forgive another, heals oneself, just as anger toward another poisons oneself. Anger and resentment destroy our lives. For the body to heal, often times what is most vital is to heal the broken heart or spirit. Failure to forgive affects our stress level, power to heal the body, discernment, and all our relationships. The first part of this seminar is a powerful lecture on forgiving others, the second part will address forgiving oneself. Bring your mat and writing materials.
