Gut-Brain-Soil Axis w/ Anthony

We all know the importance of the microbes in our soil and the profound impact these have on plant life. When we create the ideal conditions for these beneficial microbes to thrive, our bodies thrive. The direct link between our gut transfers to our brains via the vagus nerve and the Gut-Brain Axis, which affects how well we can tend to our soil. I’ll go over different types of microbes in our guts and point out the similarities between the soil microbes and explain how nurturing the microbes inside our bodies helps us nourish the soil, which in turn also nourishes out gut bacteria. It's a beautiful full circle effect.

Flower Essence Yoga Flow w/ Meraiah

This beginner level class begins with students selecting a flower essence of their choice to partner with theough our class. We will discuss how each essence carries the plants "blue print or essence" and how it can guide us in our practice. A meditation will begin to connect with the essence of the flower we chose and gentle movement will begin, transitioning smoothly from one posture to the next while synchronizing breath with motion. After the body is warmed, more time is spent in select yoga poses to deepen the experience and encourage strength, flexibility, and balance. Modifications and variations provided to accommodate individual needs. This class is suitable for students who are able to transition on and off the floor with confidence.
