Hanna Somatics Workshop Series with Sarah Warren
Hanna Somatics is a type of neuromuscular retraining which allows you to relearn natural, efficient movement patterns, regain flexibility and range of motion, and prevent and recover from injuries. The workshops will consist of slow, gentle, relaxing movements suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Absolute Yoga's Monday PM Relax & Release class is based on the Hanna Somatics technique and this workshop will allow students (new and experienced) to delve deeper into this transformative method. You will learn exercises that you can do at home in as little as 5 minutes a day to maintain flexibility, improve coordination, warm up and cool down from workouts, and prevent injuries.

About the Get Your Groove On Yoga Meetup
Renew. Revive. Reconnect. And rock out to GREAT MUSIC!
The Get Your Groove On Meetup gives those who live in the Metrowest area a chance to strengthen, tone and balance their body and mind while connecting with other outgoing, wellness-minded people in the community. Each Meetup will feature a different type of music--perhaps an 80s theme, classic rock, contemporary musicians or one-hit-wonders. Meetup members will love the casual vibe and we don't give out prizes for touching your toes so don't sweat it if flexibility isn't your thing. Leave the pressure and the competitiveness at the door, there are no mirrors or people who look at you funny for putting YOUR mat in THEIR spot (yeah, we've had that happen to us too).
Class is taught by a fun and creative certified yoga instructor and welcomes athletic types as well as non-yogis. We recommend some prior yoga experience. Most importantly participants will have a great time! (All levels, room mildly heated). Register at the Get Your Groove On Yoga Meetup page to become a member (free).
