Want to Do Yoga on Jamaica Pond?

Iceskating on Jamaica Pond is not allowed, but doing yoga on the pond is a-okay. Yoga classes on the water using a paddle board are being offered on Sundays by local nonprofit Courageous Sailing. No experience is necessary (of water yoga, or yoga in general). The class starts low on the board (like belly on a paddle board), and they build from there, and do poses while standing up on the board. All equipment is provided.

Soul Journey: Storybook

A ten month immersion; a pilgrimage within. We will deeply explore lifetimes of personal stories, judgements, and masks that keep us safe and partially-living. We will remember the authentic compassion that is us. Through ritual, movement, meditation, chanting, journaling, and visualization, deepen your understanding of the places in you that have not yet been fully witnessed;  celebrate the parts of yourself that shine, and welcome the newly growing buds just starting to develop. Using spiritual understanding and practices from a variety of systems, including chakras, yoga, psychosynthesis, the 5 elements, Tarot, Buddhism, Earth Practices, and other healing modalities, a safe and loving container will be created where you can develop Self Authority, Authenticity, and Aliveness.
