Hi, Cedar River Yoga Students!

"In the coldest February, as in every other month in every other year, the best thing to hold on to in this world is each other.  —Linda Ellerbe

Welcome to February, the shortest month, but last full month of Winter!  January was intensely full of transitions.  Here at Cedar River Yoga, we took the first month of 2025 to reflect on our very special first year of operation; the incredible people we met, lessons learned, time & energies we've shared together, and wonderful classes & events we've had.  Our Anniversary party was oh so sweet, and we are so appreciative of all who shared space with us to celebrate.  In addition, we've also collaborated with local small businesses, supported local artists, and were humbled to donate to impactful charities (King County Vision House, South County Spay & Neuter, & even raised nearly $1000 for those impacted by the California wildfires.)  We are in awe and inspired.  We enter the month of love with full hearts, excited to share this warmth & passion with you all.

Full hearts, full schedule:  February is bursting at the seems with classes, workshops, events, & package specials!  Please enjoy the studio & offerings this month to embrace self-care & self-love.

All our gratitude & love,
the Jessic/kas

These 2 courses compliment each other, but one is not required to take the other.  Join us for one or both.  The goal of each of these clinics is to gain personal empowerment & freedom in your practice & body, hone your understanding of alignment, and augment your ability to move confidently from asana to savasana.
  Part 1, Saturday:  Understanding our container through anatomy.  Focusing on the Skeletal, Muscular, Lymphatic, & Nervous systems of the body.  Recognizing how these systems work with our mobility, stability & flexibility.  Playing with postures & feeling the fascial planes in our body.
Part 2, Sunday:  Deeper dive into our wide web of fascia.  Learn how our habits create fascial patterns which cause imbalance & strain. We can remodel the body we have created through habits & time.  Interpreting the messages of our body. Explore your awareness to release the traffic jams we place on this organ of form.
