In the beginning stages, participants will learn the philosophy behind Zentangle, take the first steps to creating their own tangles and practice pattern making. While Zentangle may seem intricate and complex, its simplicity, fun and captivating nature quickly become evident. After you create a piece of Zentangle art, you can transfer that insight and success you feel to any life experience. Supplies are included and will be provided by instructor. The Zentangle® art form and method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. www.zentangle.com. (please visit the Zentangle website for images and more information)

Saturday, October 1st, 2011 with Alyson Colwell-Waber. Yin Yoga provides a welcoming balance to our higher-energy “yang” practices of Vinyasa yoga and other active athletic endeavors. In Yin Yoga we build muscle memory and strength by lengthening and opening deep muscles, connective tissue, and joints that are not exercised as much in a more active asana practice. Asanas are often held for several minutes at a time, providing the space in which we can cultivate patience and a quiet mind. Experience the benefits of "Yin" where we utilize and unite gravity & breath.
