Made By Survivors Awareness Event

This is a rare opportunity to meet the founder of Made By Survivors, Sarah Symons, and hear how she came to create this organization dedicated to fighting human trafficking and modern day slavery by helping survivors rebuild their lives after rescue. They work to prevent slavery in high risk communities such as red light and refugee communities, by creating jobs for adults and offering education to children. They import and sell beautiful handicraft products made by survivors of slavery and persons at risk of being trafficked into slavery at their website www.madebysurvivors.com. If you can't come to the event please remember to shop for gifts or for yourself at their website. See more on YouTube.com at http://www.youtube.com/user/MadeBySurvivors.

Yin Yoga Workshop

Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues of the body – the ligaments, bones, and joints - that are that are not normally exercised in a more active asana practice. With a focus on the hips, pelvis, and lower spine, this workshop is suitable for almost all levels of students. It is a perfect complement to a muscular (yang) yoga practice. Initially this style of yoga can seem quite passive or soft, but a yin practice is actually quite challenging due to the long duration of some poses (3-5 mins), and is a great way to prepare the body for a meditation practice. Yin Yoga is a great way to balance your yoga practice and find the softer side of yoga. This is not a restorative yoga, so if you have an injury please allow your muscles time to heal before continuing your yoga practice. Suitable for all levels of fitness. Presented by Dawn Burkett.

In this workshop we will learn to identify the core causes of back pain and spinal compression. The universal principals of alignment and posture will be introduced and implemented into the practice of basic yoga poses. There will be a strong focus and emphasis on strengthening and stretching the muscles of the spine, pelvis, legs and upper torso to create greater stability and mobility in these particular parts of the body the potential for a healthy and happy back will be tremendously increased. Being playful and having fun will be an important component of the class. This workshop will be presented by 35 year yoga instructor, Bob Glickstein. Some prior yoga experience is recommended.
