The Wisdom Years: A Yoga Approach

In-person Workshop

The Wisdom Years: A Yoga Approach

The third stage of life--many in our communities are entering this time. There is a shift where we are beginning to feel more space and time around the daily responsibilities and routines of working and raising a family.  We are caregiving in different ways.  We are wondering and reflecting, are we making a difference? We are navigating new physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges.  Is this you?  Do you teach or support folks in this stage of life?  

Then this workshop is for you!

Let’s discover how Yoga and ayurveda can enhance:

  • Purpose and Meaning (yamas)

  • Lifestyle (Niyamas)

  • Dealing with a body that has some miles on it. (Asana/Pranayama)

  • Focus and de-stress. Getting to know yourself in the spiritual area. (Meditation)

You will leave this workshop with:

  • Thoughtful discussions to ponder and hopefully inspire

  • Mindful and appropriate practices & techniques

  • A full belly and a sense of belonging

This workshop will take place on Sunday, July 27, 2025, from 10 AM to 3 PM at one of our Yogi’s sweet community spaces. Come ready to engage, learn, and grow in a supportive and vibrant environment!

Price is $108 per person.  Register here. Please register by Friday, July 18th.

Details of where and what to bring will be emailed to you upon registration.
