To accompany a loved one as they approach death can be both hugely challenging and deeply meaningful. Roy Remer shares meditations, exercises and discussion rooted in his many years of work with the Zen Caregiving Project to help us learn how to be supportive, loving companions to those approaching end-of-life. Roy was our staff meditation teacher for many years — we are so excited to have him return for this meaningful program!

Join Baxter Bell, shown here with his buddy Mountain Yoga teacher Perry Chattler, this Saturday for his final workshop in this fall's Yoga for Healthy Aging series, which explores what many point to as the most critical component to longevity: COMMUNITY..

What does science have to say about the health benefits of good company? How can we bring more sense of community into our modern lives in small, everyday ways? How does our yoga foster deeper connection? Spend this Saturday afternoon together with Baxter and your fellow yogis — in-person or via zoom — and find out more. It could change your life!

Have you noticed how yoga class can completely change your mood? Some of that is the yoga, and some of it is the CONNECTION to fellow students. Good company is something we are all in desperate need of, according to Surgeon General Vivek Murthy who has declared yoga the number one health concern in America.

Join Dr. Baxter Bell this Saturday in a workshop that explores the connection between community and health, both mental and physical. Learn ways to weave more sangha into your yoga, more community and connection into your life!

Hey, everyone. I'm teaching a workshop tomorrow I think may be of benefit to many of you. It's on preventing and rellieving the pain of sciatica.

This is the first of a new series I am doing called "The Yoga Apothecary" that addresses common conditions through yoga.

I know so many people who suffer with sciatica — and I have suffered from it myself — and there's no need. It can pretty easily be addressed for most people in most cases. (Of course, there can be more severe cases with complications that may require medical attention.)

You can join me in-person or via zoom — or do the recording you will get along with a detailed handout afterwards. Tomorrow, Saturday, 2-4PM.
