We are offering an all day event for those who love yoga, and/or who might be in need of some rest and relaxation!
The event will be held at the Shaw's Center - a lovely, carpeted hall attached to the Campanelli baseball stadium in Brockton, MA.
Healthy boxed lunches will be served (hopefully outdoors); there will be a marketplace; and, of course, an entire day of delicious yoga!

A description of the morning session in Liza’s words:
‘Rooting and rising’ is a process we go through in life and in our practice of yoga, as we seek to find and create solid ground from which to explore the movements of life, from the mundane to the momentous. In this class we’ll explore how to root into our physical bodies, and rise into our subtle (energetic) bodies whether we’re standing or sitting, spiralling or exploring the upside-down. We’ll review the yamas and niyamas and how they help form the intellectual basis for our practice as we explore variations on the traditional ‘sun salutations’, as well as other standing poses.
Cultivate a connection to earth energy, listen deep within, and share the fruits of your practice with heartfelt joy.
A description of the afternoon session in Lees’ words:
Lees Yunits will conduct the afternoon session beginning with meditation and pranayama, or breathing techniques. From there the class will move easily into a few basic yoga poses before settling into holding several Yin Yoga poses. In Yin Yoga the poses are seated, mostly, and held for up to five minutes. The beauty of these longer holds is that our body’s connective tissues stretch, thereby bringing joy to our joints and revitalizing our youthful selves. Finally we’ll conclude the day’s events with a relaxing meditation.
