Join Leigh Evans (Greenhouse Holistic, Yoga Sutra, YogaWorks) and Dages Keates for an exquisite combination of restorative asana and hands-on holiday treat making!

As we head into Winter, our bodies naturally yearn for a time of introspection and deep meditation. This afternoon workshop will lead you deeply inside through an exploration of asanas, meditation, and chanting, to facilitate your internal journey. Join us for a deeply restorative yoga practice designed to soothe the nervous system, calm the mind, and rejuvenate your body and spirit.

In the Sangha Yoga kitchen, you'll learn easy ways to make seasonal goodies that are healthy, egg/sugar-free, and delicious. Bring them to your potlucks and parties throughout the season and enjoy the sweetness of the season without sugar! Once we've made the goodies, we'll move into the Sangha Yoga studio for our restorative yoga practice and enjoy the nectar of inner unfolding and unwinding. After the practice, we'll have time to savor all the goodies we made along with new friends and some hot mulled cider!

We'll make:
Scrumptious Almond-Oat Bites
Raw Chocolate Date Truffles
No Bake Chocolate Drops
Spiced Cider
