Morning Yoga with Julia Tindall

Once warmed up we continue with some gentle flow and standing poses for strength and balance. Finally, some backbending and gentle inversion before sivasana. Props are encouraged.

I was born an Empath with all the Clairs, but it wasn’t until a life changing accident that I began my search for healing. It was a journey of trust & inner guidance that helped me utilize my gifts to help others on the same path. What I do now is a combination of 36 years experience in the Healing Arts. I am best described as an Intuitive Energy Healer, Alchemist & Channel. I lead individual & group sessions for ‘Whole Body Re-alignment’ and Personal Transformation.
Meeting ourselves exactly where we are in ‘Sacred Space’ is a powerful tool to awaken your inner Alchemist. From Nagging thoughts, life crises, chronic pain or heartache, there is nothing that cannot heal if one is open and willing.

Introduction to Contact Improvisation with Miriam Wolodarski
Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dance form that centers our felt sense of somatic touch: weight, gravity, and momentum carry contact improvisors into a direct sensory experience of the body in space and time. CI can be meditative, playful, or athletic: to the observer, it may look like a mix of ballroom, wrestling, acrobatics, and contemporary dance. For the practitioner, it is an opportunity to experience the biomechanical poetry of human bodies colliding. This gentle and fun introductory class is accessible to bodies of all abilities.

Venmo: @Kappe-Rousseau
My passion for musical creativity started at an early age when I became bored with piano lessons. I had to ‘practice’ or at least ‘play’ the piano every day for an hour. I started making things up – changing things up and re-arranging the music. Later in life, I lived in NYC for a time and I created a business of ‘arranging’ music for artists who were looking to attract interest in their songs. I can hear where the music is going in my head and then lay it out, or play it out.
I’ve played professionally as part of a group and solo for years. I have a background in classical/orchestral performance in percussion. My main instrument is piano and I am just as comfortable with guitar in open tunings. I have a BA in Music from U.C. Berkeley. My background in Circle Singing is from Oakland California and the Circle Singing team of Bobby McFerrin. I decided to bring Circle Singing anywhere I can so that people can experience the power of the collective voice and also tap deeply into their inner being and soul and SING!
