Come to Shambhala for a night of second chakra fun...we will start the evening with an hour long hip opening yoga class- following with a sample sale of local designer Rafika Doniger lingerie.

So please, don't just talk about it- get out of your winter slump and let that second chakra go.

Alexander Technique Sessions
with Elizabeth Castagna

By tuning into the intelligence of our body, we're able to include that felt sense into our decisions, along with what our minds think. The Alexander Technique allows you to explore an improved way of using your whole self through this coordination of mind and body as one. When your whole self is in balance you can enjoy benefits such as easier and more efficient movement full, natural breathing, reduced pain and stress, and clarity to make new choices.
