July 2020 dates planned: 11:00-5:00, St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, 880 MacGregor Ave., Estes Park, CO

A healthy and fulfilled life, as understood through the different classical traditions of Yoga, requires physical, mental, spiritual  well-being. Yet our life habits affect not only ourselves, but also those around us, and ultimately, our planet.

Dealing with Colds and Flus Naturally

Sat Oct 19th  3:30-5:00pm   The Old Gallery,  Allenspark

Even when we are fortunate enough to recover quickly from a cold or the flu, most of us have still experienced several days of feeling crummy,  having low energy and productivity , and having to cancel plans.  When we don’t recover quickly, the misery is extended and the situation can become more medically concerning.

In this workshop, we will investigate a series of tools to help us enhance our natural resistance, diminish the severity of symptoms, and enhance recovery time.
