Thai Yoga & Bodywork Workshop Coming to Mixin Mingle!

Mixin Mingle (http://www.mixinmingle.com/) is hosting a Thai Yoga and Bodywork workshop.

In this workshop you and a partner will support each through a simple sequence of postures focused on breathing and gentle stretching. We will learn a basic sequence of techniques from the Ancient Art of Traditional Thai Massage, which uses palm pressure, rhythmic rocking, and passive stretching, to relax and restore balance to the body. Called "Lazy Person's Yoga" in Thailand, Thai Bodywork incorporates all the benefits of a yoga practice, with a therapeutic massage treatment.

As a natural extension of the Buddhist practice of Metta, meaning compassion or lovingkindness, through this light-hearted practice we learn to be present with each other. Throughout the give and take of partner work, we take time to listen quietly, tuning into our partner as we give the compassion and healing touch that we ourselves would like to receive.

You can bring a friend or partner with you, or just bring yourself, and learn these simple techniques you can share with anyone in your life. There is absolutely no experience necessary!
Yoga mats will be supplied, but bring a blanket for extra cushioning.

COST:
Ÿ Drop-in $20 for one person or $30 for two people
Ÿ Monthly Fitness Pass customers receive a 50% discount
Ÿ 2 punches per person for punch cardholders

Call 1-815-308-5170 or visit http://www.mixinmingle.com/ for additional information and to register.

About the instructor:
Liz Leffert has been an avid student of yoga since 2003. Her interest in natural therapies led her to a career as a Registered Yoga Instructor and Licensed Massage therapist. She has studied various western massage modalities, but from her first exposure to Thai Massage, she knew that is what she wanted to do. Most of her training has come from Chuck Duff, at the Thai Bodywork School in Evanston, and last year she realized her dream of visiting and studying in Thailand. With the grace of her many teachers (including her clients!), her love and appreciation of the healing ability of Thai Massage just keeps growing.

Yamuna Body Rolling Woodstock, IL

Mixin Mingle (http://www.mixinmingle.com/) offers Yamuna Body Rolling in Woodstock, IL.  It involves stretching your body which helps align your body.  The practice uses 6-10 inch balls.  It is not an exercise class, but it is challenging for the muscles.

Poetry Slam with Marc Smith

The poetry slam was actually a lot of fun.  Marc Smith began the evening with a performance...about a subway, and then showed participants how to perform using a variety of techniques.  We went around the room practicing saying things with different volumes, speeds and more.  This was the kind of night where you could laugh, let loose, express yourself and have fun.  A bunch of students from McHenry County College came as a group and we also had students from Marian and people from the community as well.  Everyone who knew Marc Smith knew we would be in for a treat.  Marc had us write our own poems by observing what we were seeing take place in the room.  It was a very creative way to write.  After that, people performed their poems several different ways with Marc's guidance.  The evening concluded with a poetry slam contest.  The winner received $15!
