LEARN TO MEDITATE WITH SUSAN HIMML

Sundays, April 28 and May 5, 6:00-8:00 PM This introductory 2 session course will help you to explore the basics of meditation. It will simplify the process and prepare you to receive your own personal mantra at a later date if you choose to.   Practiced for thousands of years, meditation is a tool for rediscovering the body’s own inner intelligence. Primordial Sound Meditation uses individually selected sounds of nature called mantras, to disconnect us from the activity of life. These primordial sounds are based on the vibration the universe was creating at the moment of your birth. Practicing Primordial Sound Meditation on a daily basis will help you:

  • Manage stress & reduce anxiety
  • Improve your relationships
  • Create inner peace
  • Enhance your sleep patterns
  • Lower your blood pressure
  • Connect more deeply to spirit

Workshop will not run if minimum enrollment is not met

NSRY Workshops this Week!

Join us at North Shore Restorative Yoga for two incredible workshops this week that will restore vitality and balance to your life!

THIS Thursday, April 25 from 7-9PM: Restorative Yoga with Acupuncture $60

Join Ayurveda Wellness Healing and North Shore Restorative Yoga and Greta Williams. Lic. Acupuncturist for an evening of BLISS.
The practices of acupuncture and restorative yoga are a fusion of the best healing gifts from two ancient Asian cultures. These modalities free up stagnant energies within the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. This process presents an opportunity to let go of the old and welcome the new. Studies have shown that healing is most effective when done in a nurturing group setting. In this workshop students will hold supported yogic postures for an extended period of time while receiving an acupuncture treatment.
The practices of acupuncture and yoga amplify each other’s benefits. This workshop is open to yogis of all levels and ages. No yoga experience is necessary.
When: April 25th 7-9pm
Where: North Shore Restorative Yoga, 25B Lexington Ave. Magnolia Ma 01930
Cost: $60
 Pre-Registration is required for this event. To reserve your spot please sign up at North Shore Restorative Yoga www.nsryoga.com

THIS SUNDAY, April 28th, 5-7PM: Thai Massage & Restorative Yoga $40
Prepare for an evening of maximum relaxation as you are guided through a series of supportive restorative poses and given gentle Thai Yoga assists.
Thai bodywork involves palming, pressing and passive joint movements.  The bodyworker uses her hands, feet, elbows, fingers and knees to gently knead tight muscles with a soothing rhythm that brings the brain into a dream-like state.  You will be buzzing with a light and natural flow of prana that will both sooth and energize your body, mind connection.
Advanced sign up is strongly recommended due to a class limit of 10. www.nsryoga.com
