 As we approach February moving through winter, I'm so grateful whenever temperatures rise above freezing on the New York streets I ride. This picture, though, is from March 2020.
To warm your winter, grab a friend, date, or family member; come join my pal Bassam and me in our annual Valentine Thai massage couples workshop.
This year it takes place on Valentine's Day evening:
ValenTHAI Workshop
Wednesday, Feb.14, 7:30-9:30PM
Om Factory Flight School
873 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10003
 You will both receive and give nurturing "metta" or lovingkindness through Thai yoga massage in a sequence led in turn by Mary and Bassam.
Whether you're new to this beautiful practice or seasoned, you will soak up its bliss; plus, you will share something you can continue to give to yourselves, each other, and friends, for your whole life.
Registration is per couple.
Early Bird savings by January 31st. See you!

Sunday Night Zoom Series: Feb 4
|
For 8 weeks, through February and March, I will lead a Sunday night Yin/Nidra Zoom series to take us from winter into spring.
 Practice in the ease and comfort of your home. Have your journal with you, a cup of tea before or after.
Practice in PJs, dim the lights! Rest from the week. Refresh for a new one.
We begin with Yin yoga to ease the body and mind. Then we recline for a Yoga Nidra dream meditation, for which I recommend an eye pillow and headphones. You might go to bed right after class. You may choose to do Nidra in bed.
The Nidra meditations start at 15 minutes long and progress to 25 then 40 minutes as we move through 3 stages of Rest, Release, and Rise, following Karen Brody's book Daring to Rest.
If you miss a Sunday, do it in the week: classes are recorded. You'll also get audio clips of just the Nidras, so you can do them anytime, to relax and restore yourself.
Register here. Hope to see you Sunday!

 Yup; a pampered beach resort vacation plus refreshing yoga classes every morning and evening with friends.
