In-Person Workshops - Classes with Lanita Varshell and Diane Ambrosini

8:30 am - Joyful Awakening Yoga with Diane ~ $25
Releasing tension from the spine is key to allowing for deeper expression of most asanas.
Therefore, these classes typically begin seated on the floor to center the mind and connect the breath to rhythmic, warming movements. Class progression then moves to traditional yoga poses. Each class is customized based on the student's energy and body's needs. ~ Mild to semi-active poses. Must be able to easily transition from standing to floor to hands and knees.

10:30 a.m. -  Customized Practice - with Diane ~ $39
This workshop focuses on finding ways to create more comfort and ease in specific poses that fit your unique body and needs. The session will last 2-2.5 hours, depending on the discussion and the number in attendance. 

2:30 pm - MIMSY: Meditation in Movement Soft Yoga with Lanita
~ $49
Gentle, Soft Yoga for Healing, Restoring and Renewing. Deep Stretch and Stress Relief

This workshop includes: Sangha, (Yoga Community) Gentle, Restorative Yoga, Breath, and Meditation. A Gentle Way Yoga Community comes together at these monthly gatherings to renew our friendships, share, stretch, breathe, and meditate in powerful group energy. 

We begin with introductions and yoga philosophy for modern-day living. Then, we get comfortable on the floor with relaxation and focused breathing techniques that shift our central nervous system.

From here, spirit leads us to more movement, group sharing, restorative asana, or more profound relaxation or meditation. It is unique and perfect each time - always customized for attendees' needs and abilities.

MIMSY is a floor-based practice that is yoga for your back, hips, spine, mind, and so much more! MIMSY bridges the gap between Classical, Restorative, and Yin Yoga

Class & Chat: usually runs 2.5-3.0 hours based on number of attendees. $49

Lanita,
Your new in-person classes and workshops are so amazing. I can’t wait for the next one!

I didn’t think anything would replace your lovely studio in La Mesa, but the energy of our April workshop at the hotel was just as wonderful.

It was a beautiful afternoon class today - and I also felt the presence of a higher energy field towards the end. I had a really powerful meditation and didn’t even realize you had ended class till much later! You have such a great gift to share with the world!

Thank you for this lovely, relaxed, long session today. It felt like the 3rd day on vacation - where I was finally dropping into relaxation, finally ‘shifting down.’
It was delicious. I will be back!

Lanita,
   Thank you for such a wonderful Saturday at the Handlery! I did the full day and enjoyed everything. I was a little sore afterward… but I had tons of energy to babysit my four-year-old granddaughter so that her parents could have a “date night.” I slept very well that night and felt great the next day!  I feel very grateful to have the opportunity to experience your in-person classes again, and I look forward to future opportunities. Please invite me to all your events!
