Tuesday, April 22nd (Earth Day!)  6:15-7:15pm

at Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary

Ayurveda teaches us that Spring is the season of Kapha dosha. When you have too much Kapha energy in your physical, mental, and emotional systems it can show up as sluggishness, lack of motivation, stubbornness, excess mucus, heaviness in the mind and body, and excessive sleep.

Adding fresh sprouts to your meals bring a sense of lightness, deep nourishment, and a subtle crunch that helps to clear stagnant Kapha energy out of your system.

Shannon will show you how to grow sprouts at home on your windowsill. You’ll leave with a covered glass container full of germinating sprouts, along with a stash of extra seeds for your next round of sprouts!

$35, includes all supplies

Field Trip - Celebrate Beltane with a Forest Bath

Join me in celebrating Beltane, the Celtic festival marking nature's start of summer, and the midway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. We'll take a walk in a nearby forest, enjoying the Japanese practice of "shinrin-yoku", or Forest Bathing: the mindfulness practice of spending time in forests. Slow, mindful walking combined with exploration will engage your senses, improve your sense of well being, and deepen your connection with nature.

June:

Field Trip - Forest Yoga

Join me in a nearby forest for my unique style of restorative yoga. Combining gentle movement, deep stretches, and restorative poses, along with the grounding  power of nature, this practice will give you a deep sense of calm and more connection both with yourself and the world outside.

Thursday March 27th - Sunday April 6th

I've been cleansing for years and leading these cleanses twice yearly for over five years - it's become one of my favorite parts of my practice! If you've not done a cleanse with me before, here's some info: 

Why Do We Cleanse?

• Healthier digestion & elimination
• Improved immune function
• Better response to stress, increased relaxation, and deeper sleep
• Decreased brain fog, less sluggishness, and improved energy levels

Your body and mind love an occasional reset, ideally twice each year in autumn and spring. And often you'll find yourself shedding some of the winter weight during a spring cleanse, as your body and mind shift from the hibernation of winter to the fresh energy of spring.

March 20th @ 6:15pm

(Class will be held at Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary)

Combining the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and earthy Celtic traditions, Shannon will help you learn to gently shift from the hibernation of winter to the blossoming of spring on Ostara (the Spring Equinox).

She will guide you through some of the foundations of Ayurveda, how it views the energetic shifts of spring, and how to incorporate some nutritional, herbal, and lifestyle practices into your life to help your body move with grace into the new season.

February 23rd @ 2pm

This class gives you tools such as breathwork, meditation, and other Mindfulness tools to help you feel more calm, grounded, and reconnected to your inner wisdom and joy.

My Reset for a New Year is happening January 16th through January 19th. 

Together, we'll:

• move from mindless eating back to mindful nourishment, 
• mend your relationship with your body, and
• set goals and intentions to move you toward who you want to become.

We'll wrap it all up on Sunday, Jan 19th at 4pm together (online).
