Jonelle Clark - Kannaway
Come join us to find out why Kannaway is the best CBD on the market and how our products are making waves around the World! Not the country….the WORLD!!

Dating back to the early days of Mesopotamia, CBD was used as an anointing oil for healing. Regarded as a precious commodity since the days of our Founding Fathers, Hemp has over
50,000 industrial uses but yet for the last 75 years, our Government has banned this resource from our society…UNTIL NOW! As a legal dietary supplement, our pure, organic CBD company has been setting a standard in this growing industry. What if everything you thought you knew about hemp was wrong?? Come see how this plant can change your life!

Laura Kaufman- Natural Makeup and Cosmetics
My name is Laura Kaufman, and I have two precious girls, Nia and Vivian Adele, from which Niadele gets its name. This company blossomed out of a personal need. Over the years I struggled to find cosmetics that didn’t cause irritation or breakouts, and I almost gave up on makeup altogether because of how badly my skin would react.

In 2014, I began formulating my own products, and through extensive research and testing I discovered a sense of empowerment and a deep joy in the artistry of creating natural cosmetics.

Our products are made with high quality ingredients that are nutrient rich, gentle and anti-inflammatory for sensitive skin. We preserve our products with a natural elderberry preservative that is filled with antioxidants and vitamins to not only hydrate, but also nourish your skin. Your face will feel loved all day! Our loose mineral powder has broad spectrum uva/uvb protection. We value kindness to ourselves and our world and our products are never tested on animals.

In 2015 we officially launched Niadele, sharing the love through custom-created Loose Mineral Powders and Tinted Face Balms to match skin tones from very fair to deep-hued skin tones. We love taking care of our customers and hope to help everyone make wise choices in their self care routines.

My passion grew from making products for myself, to making it for friends and family, to now sharing it through Etsy to the world!

We are a family owned company and my girls and husband are a constant support! We love our community in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where we embrace any chance to play in streams and go for long hikes! Beauty surrounds and inspires us.

This will be a friendly, heart-opening and rewarding 2 hours workshop intro a series of postures that will help you bend, balance, and bend better using a new kind of yoga strap the “Buddhi Straps”are buckle-free, hassle-free, and come in 4 different sizes to accommodate various levels of stiffness and flexibility

Why Bind?

Binding requires flexibility and commitment, and act like a “lock” to help you find stability in a pose. In certain postures, it can also help us massage our muscles and internal organs, helping us become our very own healers.

Why balance? Balancing postures in yoga teach us how to focus, build strength, find our center of gravity and equilibrium. Trust, slow down, and find a sense of calm and stillness despite what is going on around us.

Why Bend? Backbends and heart opening poses are good to elongate the spine, improve posture and flexibility, stretch the front of the body, open up tight shoulders, reduce stress and anxiety, provide emotional release.

Some of the postures we will study include:

• Dhanurasana (Bow pose)

• Natarajasana (Dancer)

• Rajakapotasana (King Pigeon)

• Kapuasana (Crescent moon)

• Bharadvajasana (Seated warrior)

• Vashistasana (Side plank)

• Pavitra Suriya Yantrasana (compass pose)

• Padmasana ( Lotus pose)

• Utthita padangusthasana ( hands-to-big toe pose)
  
  

What to bring to the class:

No food for at least 2 hours prior to the class. If must eat, please have something liquid and light. Bring small glass container, about ½ cup to take home chai masala
