beat the winter blues: rejuvenate with kristen krash, sunday, 1230-230 p, $40

january 21, 12:30 -2:30 p, $40

beat the winter blues, energize, and rejuvenate with boundless teacher kristen krash! as winter lumbers on in january with short cold days and long colder nights, we often find ourselves feeling de-energized, de-motivated, and even depressed. what used to be referred to as a case of the winter blues now even has its own medical diagnosis–seasonal affective disorder, and how SAD it is. in ayurvedic terms, winter depression results from an imbalance of kapha energy, and thankfully, there are natural remedies available to us!

this workshop will begin with a brief discussion of a “seasonal” approach to asana practice and then launch into an invigorating asana and breath-work practice, designed to build energy and heat and kick out those winter doldrums. the practice will include sun salutes and standing poses to warm the body and move energy, lots of chest and shoulder openers to reverse the effects of tensing up in the cold weather, some fun inversions to increase circulation, and twists to stimulate and tone the internal organs. students will also receive a handout of asanas (postures) to do at home when that winter lethargy sets in, as well as some tips on kapha-reducing herbs, spices, and aromatherapy.

this is part one of the workshop, taught at a beginning level; part two for intermediate practitioners will be jan 28.
