INTENTIONAL STRENGTH FOR MOON DAYS
Hosted by Valerie Hedlund
Let Val lead you on a journey of strength with intention. The way we train with kettlebells will allow you to train efficiently, getting the most work done in the shortest amount of time without damaging your muscles and hurting your practice.
February’s Intentional Strength for Moon Days classes will be held at Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala! Saturday, February 8th at 9:30am and Sunday, February 23rd at 9am. And because we’ll be at the Shala, we’ll focus on what people consider the “Yoga of Kettlebells”, the Turkish Getup. The Getup is a movement that allows you to get up off the floor holding a weight. While simple in explanation, this fluid movement is great for shoulders, hips, abs, and backs - it works on mobility, stability, and strength at many different angles. Come learn with Val on your Ashtanga rest day. We’ll decide which kettlebells you’ll need for your home practice, and we’ll send you on your way with the tools you need to be stronger for your practice and for life!

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” -Mary Oliver We are celebrating life and love.We are reminded of the preciousness of our days. We are blessed to feel a sense of urgency to live fully the moments of our lives. Ask yourself Mary’s question. Write down a few answers on a piece of paper. Place the paper in a special place, on a mirror or in your wallet; a place you will see this reminder of your intention for the moments of your wild precious life. You are the star and director of your movie. The movie playing in front of you now. It is a great honor to walk this path together, to share our adventures, and to inspire, love and support each other. Love, Diana 1/22/2020
