Sun Salutations, or Surya Namaskar, is a flowing series of 12 poses which help improve strength and flexibility of the

Take Charge of Your Wellness!
Do you want to take the next step towards improving your wellness but aren't sure where to start? Perhaps you want to
reduce stress, lose weight, or increase your activity level? Join me for this unique workshop that combines coaching and
yoga to allow you to relax, focus on yourself, and build a personal wellness plan.
The workshop will begin with a gentle yoga practice to help clear the mind and allow time for reflection. We will then use a
combination of yoga, breathing techniques (pranayama), and coaching tools to:
* Assess current state of personal wellness
* Develop a wellness vision
* Identify what is really motivating you to improve your health
* Identify obstacles that have thwarted progress in the past
* Develop strategies for future success
* Assess the gap between current and desired state
* Create concrete goals to help measure progress towards realizing the wellness vision
This workshop is best suited for people interested in improving one or more aspects of their wellness such as weight
management, improved nutritional intake, increased exercise, stress management, or smoking cessation. Yoga beginners
are welcome.

technique to help you feel prepared for beginner and all level classes. In addition there will be time for questions and lots of
personal attention. Private Yoga 101 workshops are available upon request.
Improving Body Image with Yoga
Would you like to have a better relationship with your body? How we view our bodies is largely influenced by the stories we
tell ourselves about them. We can use our yoga practice to make peace with our bodies and write new stories to tell
ourselves. Join Miri to explore how our body image and self-esteem are affected by a variety of factors and develop
strategies to question and confront the distorted ways we see our bodies. This workshop will combine discussion, writing
exercises, and yoga to help you feel more comfortable in your body.
