Through movement, meditation and writing you’ll let go of the burdens of last year and move forward with new insight and knowledge to make 2017 great! Participants will move through a gentle vinyasa class built to relieve tension in the body followed by a short guided meditation to reduce stress. Once we've relaxed the body and mind we are ready to reflect with a guided writing exercise designed to help us unlock where we are stuck and give us the knowledge to move onward and upward! **Participants should bring a notebook and pen if they want to take notes, though it is not required. You are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, though we do have some here. Tea and snacks will be provided.
