Outdoor Aerials & Learn to Meditate Workshop
Ever thought you can’t meditate or don’t have time to Meditate?
I can show you that you can, and show you that you will gain more time if you DO meditate.
Combine the total relaxation of our Outdoor Restorative Aerial Yoga practice with Mindfulness Meditation and you have complete Bliss!
Mindful Meditation is a practice that anyone can do and benefit from. However, some people say they can’t meditate or there is a lot of confusion around this very simple practice.
This workshop will teach you in a clear, simple and easy way how to begin your practice of meditation so you are able to do it anytime you wish on your own.
With a fresh perspective on what mindfulness is, we will provide powerful, direct methods that will show you how to meditate deeply using either guided meditation or mindfulness meditation with the added benefit of the relaxing gentle movement in the hammocks.
Imagine resting comfortably in the hammock with the warm Spring breeze blowing, listening to the sounds of nature, birds singing, and a gentle voice guiding you to relaxation and mindfulness.
Mindfulness Meditation will help you to live more peacefully, enjoy your life more fully and experience more happiness and have better health.
All with a small time investment, starting with as little as 5 minutes per day and gradually building to about 30 minutes per day.

Building Blocks to Inversions Workshop
Who needs to do inversions? Everyone, including you. In addition to the benefit of creating a strong body, inversions are an important release for tension. They create calm by helping you to see your own potential to work on a single focus for a prolonged time. If you want to master your reactivity, emotions and build the strength necessary to do inversions (handstand, forearm balance, etc), this class will teach you the fundamentals. Special care will be given to wrist and forearm strengthening and mobility and how to incorporate what you learn into your other movement disciplines.
Fee: TBA (all auto-pay clients get 10% off each purchase) Both Inversion workshops discounted price $56.00
(call 804-355-3700 to register)
Handstands and Other Inversions Workshop
Which pose is the Swiss Army Knife of inversions? How do the pros train for their handstand? How can YOU get upside-down? Come learn in this workshop. You are more capable than you think you are. Do you already need an inversion to come to this class? No, but if you do not have a crow pose please make sure that you sign up for and attend Building Blocks of Inversions prior to this workshop.

Buti Glow Party
BUTI Yoga®, meaning “the cure to something hidden or kept secret”, is a fusion of yoga, tribal dance, and Plyometrics, with some spiraling movements aimed at unlocking and releasing the Shakti spiral as well as the hips to help energy flow freely in the 1st and 2nd Chakras. BUTI® combines various styles of Hatha yoga with tribal-influenced dance sequences to keep the heart rate up, free the female spirit and help women form a tribe or sisterhood.
Add some glow-in-the-dark body paint and black lights with some awesome tribal music and you have a BUTI GLOW PARTY!!!
Kim Fuhrmeister will be leading us through this workshop with the first hour consisting of an introduction of what Buti Yoga is and teaching you the signature BUTI moves with proper form and technique. After the intro., we will break into helping each other applying glow-in-the-dark paints. Then the last 60 minutes will be a high energy, heart pumping, full of excitement sweat fest with lots of support from your fellow sisters.
Sign up early to grab your spot! Invite your friends, have fun and let loose to a heart-pumping playlist while enjoying the club-like vibe!
To get the best results, wear white or light colored clothing. Bring anything that glows in the dark, we will supply the paint and glow bracelets.
