Restorative Yoga

When you have a to-do list that could rival Santa’s, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the holiday season. Yoga is the calm in the storm of the merry-making time. Restorative yoga helps to relax and truly enjoy all the season has to offer. This mini workshop will include a gentle sequence and a
long guided relaxation. You will leave with a sense of deep replenishment. I found this online: The Importance of Recovery Time In Your Busy Life When days become shorter and colder, most mammals hunker down,
hibernating or just physically moving more slowly through the winter. Not humans. For us, life only gets more frenetic when temperatures drop and the holiday season arrives. While the challenges that naturally arise in an active life can build strength, resilience, and confidence, a critical ingredient to that growth is easy to forget in our hyper-productive culture: recovery time. Yoga allows you to recover fully from all the stresses and strains of life—by relaxing muscles, lowering your heart rate, and allowing your nervous system
to stop constantly reacting. People come away from a restorative yoga class not only more relaxed but also more focused and effective.

Toys for Tots

For years our members have been very generous and donated hundreds of toys to children in Whatcom County through the Toys for Tots program. Both the Cordata and Downtown clubs will have collection bins for toys for needy Whatcom County families beginning Monday November 28th. We are counting on you to be generous again this year. The toys need to be new, unwrapped and for children aged 2-14. Toys will be collected until December 19th. As a club, we can be proud of the giving spirit demonstrated by our members each year; as BAC is one of the biggest contributors in the County, let’s make 2016 the best yet.

Rest & Rejuvenate

With the holiday season approaching, our lives are filled with so much DOING and very little BEING, so…perhaps there’s no need for the spa when you can find peace and relaxation right here at BAC! In this mini workshop, you will rest & rejuvenate through restorative yoga, and you will leave with open muscles, a relaxed nervous system, improved quality of sleep, and a deep sense of inner peace. So if you feel rundown, burned out, stressed or just tired, this is for you! It’s a powerful tool that supports the healing process during and after an illness or injury. Poses are well supported with props such as bolsters, straps, blankets, blocks, walls, allowing the body to fully and effortlessly let go. Each pose is typically held for several minutes and soft eye pillows, essential oils, dim lighting and soothing music will be added to help practitioners to release stress and tension and experience revitalization.
