Special Holiday Workshops

In this season of giving, don't forget to give to YOURSELF, too! I have pulled together two fun, mellow workshops to give ourselves a little pampering downtime before the holiday break. Join us Monday, December 17th!

Basics of Candle Dancing
Why is the flame so universally mysterious and captivating? The flicker of candles is one of the many symbols of the holiday season, evoking a sense of comfort, warmth, and calm in the stormy cold days of winter. Simply adding candles as a prop to your dancing can bring a lot of drama to your performance, and is just plain fun. We will explore candle dancing as a method for setting a mood and telling a story. We'll slink to the groove in a workshop lit almost solely by our candles.

TO BRING:
Students must supply their own flameless-candles (no open flame allowed, so please do not bring any real candles!), which are widely available at drug stores and craft stores, such as Walgreens and Michaels.

It is also recommended that you have some sort of holder to disguise your faux candles in--something low and round, which fits comfortably on the palm of your hand without having to grip it to keep it balanced. Something metal with cutouts disguises the faux candles best while playing lovely illuminated patterns on your surroundings, but colored or texture glass can also work (but be careful not to drop them!) Holders are not, however, a requirement.

Make sure your candle batteries are powered and ready to go, and if you have any spare faux-candles, please feel free to bring them to decorate the room with!

Relax into the Holidays
A gentle yoga workshop with Renée Drellishak
Directly following the candle-dance workshop, we will be doing a candle-lit relaxing yoga workshop with Renée. Renée has been studying and incorporating yoga into her daily life and dance practice for nearly a decade, and is currently pursuing yoga teacher training. Her personal approach reflects her diverse explorations of yoga, and her knowledge of the body, clear communication, and encouraging demeanor makes the experience accessible to even those who have never taken yoga before.

It is a mistaken belief that you must already be flexible or strong to take yoga. On the contrary, yoga can be path to gain and increase flexibility and strength, as well as encourage relaxation and peace of mind--a perfect opportunity to center yourself before the bustling holidays. Even if you have never done yoga before, and no matter what your age or body type, this class will be gentle and poses will be broken down for the maximum benefit of all students. All participants are encouraged to work at their own pace, and variations will be given to increase or decrease difficulty of the skills presented.

Bring a yoga mat (limited loaners available) and wear comfortable clothes you can move in: yoga pants/sweat pants and a fitted tee shirt, hair put up, bare feet. You may wish to have a hoodie or other long-sleeved shirt and socks until we get warmed up, as sometimes the room we will be in can start out quite cool.
