Join Me: Upcoming Workshops & Events

Happy almost-Thanksgiving, one and all! Before we get carried off into the busy abyss of the holiday season, I wanted to share a few upcoming events that I'll be hosting, in case you want to join moi. The holidays are one of my favorite times of the year, but I think it's still so very important to be sure to take some time out for self-care during all of the hustle-and-bustle. No matter what it is, be sure to pencil-in some time to indulge in a bit of relaxation over the next month or two. An easy way to do so? Join me for one of my upcoming workshops...

Reflect, Release, & Restore
Saturday, 12/31 from 2-4pm

Join Mary Catherine for an afternoon of reflection, release, and replenishment as we cleanse and restore the body in preparation for 2012. We will spend 75 minutes in a heated vinyasa practice meant to rinse the body and release the heavy emotions, stress, toxins, and tension that can build up over the busy holiday season. We will then close the workshop with 45 minutes spent reflecting on the past year through meditation, restorative poses, journaling, and of course, ending in savasana. Prepare the mind and body for a fresh start in the new year by letting go of 2011 and preparing the spirit for 2012. Bring your mat, water, a journal, and something to write with.$35; $30 if you register online here.

Holiday Show at Studio 4903
Sunday, 12/11 from 12-5pm
Last but certainly not least, join me for a Holiday Art Show at my old studio in DC! There will be a number of extremely talented artists showing and selling their work (as you an see below), and it's a perfect chance to pick up any last-minute gifts for people on your list. Plus, it's a great chance to take in some creative inspiration as the days get fuller and the weeks get busier. What? How do you get there? It's right off of the Tenleytown Metro in DC; it's also very easy to find parking on the streets nearby :) Address and more info below!

Hope you'll join me for one of these upcoming events! If you have any questions, feel free to post to comments :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday--yay for the day before Thanksgiving!

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
