Workshops

Yoga for Gardeners: Working the Soul made its debut at the Franklin County Master Gardener Symposium on March 11, 2006 in Deerfield, MA and appeared again as Green Yoga at the 2009 and 2010 Upper Valley symposia. This workshop is designed to teach gardeners how to protect the body while maximizing both effectiveness and fulfillment in the garden.

One or two day workshops are now available for groups seeking a transformational retreat experience.  The Sabbath & Yoga workshop focuses on learning to rest -in body, mind, and spirit- from the stresses of modern lifestyles. The Resurection Body workshop is aimed at Christians who wish to explore the ancient healing wisdom of yoga in a Christ-centered context.  Please contact me for more information on these two workshops.

Over the course of the workshop, gardeners will have the chance to learn fundamental gardening principles and practice a warm-up sequence that will create body awareness and flexibility. Learn about the importance of staying grounded, measuring your 'Soul pH', and take your very own Chakra Garden Tour!
