What if your yoga practice could be easier? What if your time on the floor could leave you feeling lighter, freer, and more energized? What if you could meet the mat, and the mat would send you back up?

This month's theme, RESTORE ON THE FLOOR, will enliven your back and open your heart. We'll explore yield and push, pull and extend. We'll look at the similarities between the Dart Procedures, developmental movement, and Yoga. You'll learn to love the floor and receive its support.

As posture and movement experts, Sarah and Amanda will teach you skills that help you progress. They create a warm and inviting environment where you can dig deeply into your movement and your breath to create a practice that works for you.

Classes are recorded, so if you are not able to attend, you can practice along with the recording.

About Sarah:

Hello! I’m Sarah Mayhan, an Alexander Technique teacher.

I believe everyone deserves the empowerment that comes from understanding themselves and how their body works.

I certified as a teacher of the Alexander Technique at Alexander Technique Training in Chicago (ATTiC) under senior teacher Daria Okugawa.

I have a background in theater performance and social/ ballroom dance - but I was never a "natural" in understanding my body. Alexander Technique taught me the skills to overcome repetitive use injuries and feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Based in Chicago, I have particular experience working with:

• active seniors who would like to work on their balance and walking
• office workers who are dealing with repetitive strain or want to have more confident body language in the workplace
• people in the caring or helping professions who would like to manage their energy
• people who are managing the stresses of parenting or caregiving

About Amanda:

Hi, I'm Amanda MacDonald, Alexander Technique teacher and Movement Pattern Analyst.

I have seen that when we move better, we feel better. I came to the Alexander Technique from the highly competitive world of Musical Theatre, and a culture that teaches us if something doesn't work, try harder. I tried so hard that by my late 20's I was tied up in knots. Everything changed when I experienced the transformative power of doing less. When I stopped blocking my inner wisdom, I unleashed a new sense of wellbeing and purpose.

During coronavirus I have moved my entire practice online. I love speaking to groups and creating workshops to meet the needs of organizations. Find my classes and sign up for my newsletter at https://www.AmandaBlairMacDonald.com
