SUMMARY:Yoga For Grief
DESCRIPTION:Yoga East\, Kittery\, ME and on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoga is the body and heart-centered work we need to do to move grief and trauma through our psyche\, leaving behind just pure love and gratitude for the person you lost.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Deana Cavan\, RYT from Rett’s Roost and Michelle Verdi\, RYT from Yoga East for an in-person donation-based class for the grieving body. We welcome all levels\, including beginners to yoga\, and all grievers\, not just bereaved parents.  \n\n\n\nIn the first part of the class we will incorporate readings\, an offering to our loved ones\, meditative exercises\, and gentle body movement. In the second half of the class Michelle will offer reiki during a led Yoga Nidra meditation led by Deana. \n\n\n\nThis practice is meant to be restorative and spriritual\, allowing you to reclaim your breath and appreciate the love for your beloved that still resides inside you. Yoga brings clarity to the often inaccurate and self-deprecating thoughts that surround our loss. And it opens our hearts up for love and gratitude to fill in the broken places. Reiki helps to clear the energetic blocks that hold us back from true healing. \n\n\n\nIf you lost a child\, this class is free. If you’ve had another type of loss\, please make a donation of at least $22 on our website. We will also accept cash\, check\, and venmo at the yoga studio.  \n\n\n\nThis class will take place on November 19th from 6-7:30pm EDT at Yoga East in Kittery\, ME and online. Space is limited in-person so please sign up online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga for Moms & Teens
DESCRIPTION:A fun evening at Wells Harbor learning how to take your yoga balance to the next level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost people have at least tried yoga\, and some have tried stand-up paddle (SUP) boarding\, but who’s done both at one time?! This therapeutic activity sounds tough\, but we promise it doesn’t hurt to fall off a SUP board. Most people find their balance easily\, and once you are surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the harbor\, with birds swooping overhead in the gorgeous late afternoon light\, you’ll feel a deep peace wash over you. \n\n\n\nCome connect with other moms and teens that have experienced childhood cancer and child loss. Open your heart with deep\, long breaths\, and feel your strength and confidence grow. This is a beautiful experience that you and your teen will not forget. If you don’t have a teen child\, you can still attend! \n\n\n\nWe’ll spend about an hour on the water\, then head over to the pavilion for a lovely picnic dinner. Space is limited\, so sign up soon… \n\n\n\n\nSign up

SUMMARY:Yoga For Seasonal Anxiety & Depression
DESCRIPTION:Wintering in a cold climate is a practice\, just like yoga. If you don’t pay attention\, your mood can easily turn to gloom and doom\, and life can start to feel untenable. Taking care of one’s self in the wintertime should be a priority\, especially if you are someone that avoids being outdoors in the colder temps\, despises winter\, or shows symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. For these folks\, yoga is a perfect way to overcome the anxiety and depression that creeps in during the cold\, dark\, long months. \n\n\n\nThis class is accessible to anyone over 11 in moderately good health. No yoga experience is necessary. We will be moving\, to create heat from within\, and breathing\, to stoke that internal fire. The practice will begin and end with meditative breath-work in a restorative pose\, and in between\, we’ll salute the sun\, soften our effort\, and strengthen our mind through a flowing sequence of asanas (poses). \n\n\n\nJoin us on 3/2 at 12pm EDT online or at Yoga East in Kittery\, ME.  \n\n\n\n\nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMake a donation:\n\n\n\nPlease note that this yoga event is a donation-based class in support of the 3rd Annual Rett’s Roost Behold the Cold Polar Plunge happening the following day (please donate online or bring cash or check made out to Rett’s Roost to class). All funds raised will be used to help enrich the lives of families facing childhood cancer and child loss by providing them with peer support and therapies at our healing retreats. Donations are not required by families experiencing childhood cancer or child loss. \n\n\n\n\nDonate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out how you can participate in the Polar Plunge too! Our community will be jumping into the ocean on March 3rd at 11am in Ogunquit (or any cold body of water near you). \n\n\n\n\nBehold the Cold
