with Jennifer Stackhouse
Saturday, February 25th
1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Enjoy an afternoon with Jen Stackhouse, tea and treats, arts and crafts, new friendships and new beginnings!
The Law of Attraction (The Secret) says you increase your chances of attracting to you whatever it is you are focusing on. Use the power of the Vision Board to tap into your subconscious and attract what's in your highest good.
It is really important when creating a vision board that you not only create it, but use it. A vision board is a tool to help you create a matching vibration to what it is you want to have/be or do in your life and in your world.
At the start of this workshop we will do a chakra balancing meditation to tap into all the aspects of life we need to incorporate in our vision boards. We will sit quietly and set the intent. With kindness and openness, you will ask yourself what it is you want to manifest into your life. Maybe one word will be the answer. Maybe images will come into your mind. Taking a few moments to be and meditate with your your intentions, this process makes it a deeper experience. It gives a chance for your ego to step aside so that you can clearly create your vision.
Bristol board, glue, tape, and all the crafty things will be supplied for you. Please bring any pictures, inspiring magazines, or any treasures you would like to add to your visions board. This is sure to be a fun, relaxing and creative time together.
Cost: $40.00 per person which includes all supplies.

Acro Yoga with Joe Barnett ~ Saturday, February 4th, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM ~ Acro Yoga combines acrobatic concepts with a yogic consciousness. The application of bandhas (internal locks) dristi (gaze) ujjayi breath (sounded breath) and vinyasa flow (synchronization of movement with breath) to a partner acrobatic practice gave birth to Acro Yoga. Being ‘in the moment’ and in balance with another person is the essence of Acro Yoga.
Acro Yoga with Joe Barnett
Saturday, February 4th
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Acro Yoga combines acrobatic concepts with a yogic consciousness. The application of bandhas (internal locks) dristi (gaze) ujjayi breath (sounded breath) and vinyasa flow (synchronization of movement with breath) to a partner acrobatic practice gave birth to Acro Yoga. Being ‘in the moment’ and in balance with another person is the essence of Acro Yoga.
A few words from Joe:
"I have been playing Acro Yoga since 2006, the year my teacher Jason Magness came to Tucson. Magness is one of the original seeds of Slackline Yoga (yogaslackers.com) and a senior student of Jenny Sauer-Kline and Jason Nemer, the founders of AcroYoga San Francisco (acroyoga.org). Magness’ class blends his expertise in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Slackline, and Acro Yoga. I was devoted within the first few gatherings.
In July 2010, I traveled to Montreal to meet the original Acro Yoga Kula, led by Eugene Poku and Jessie Goldberg. I received both levels of Teacher Certification offered by Acro Yoga Montreal (acroyoga.com). Through this group I found a very different dimension of creative expression in the form, an expression that invites all forms of art to integrate with its organic expression of Asana.
I continue to train with Magness and Poku & Goldberg. However, I have gathered much of my Acro Yoga from the random Acro Yogis I have met at various beaches and parks over the past 5 years. The ever growing and evolving matrix of fellow Bases and Flyers throughout the world is my greatest source of wisdom (and joy)."
Join Joe for this fun, light, and invigorating 2-hour experience of Acro Yoga. No acrobatic experience necessary! Bring your sense of adventure and let's have some fun!
