The British American Club of the East Valley

It CAN be done! How do I know you ask?! I just did this little duo with some friends last week and I’m hooked! Good conversation, apps and a cocktail followed by gentle candlelight yin yoga with a sound bath…. Truly a beautiful way to reset after the buzz of the holidays.
We will meet FIRSTLYat THE VIG in Dana Park located in Mesa. They have a great happy hour with heated seating outdoors in comfy patio sofas and chairs. Bring a little blankie to put over your knees if you run cold.
We will then go a few miles north on Val Vista to YOGA PULSE STUDIO. It is highly recommended to go onto the mind/body app or website down below to sign up for the class, sign the waiver and pay ahead of time to secure your spot. (They have a new student discounted price btw!) BRING A MAT! If you don’t have one, maybe call and inquire if you can borrow or rent one. The gal that teaches the class is lovely and does very gentle poses that most anyone can do as long as you can get up and down off the floor. Modifications are always given as options.
Address and websites below!

I could see this duo becoming a regular thing for our group throughout the year. It’s an opportunity to socially connect with each other and promote a supportive and healing environment in these busy and challenging times.

See you at The VIG, followed by the mat ;-)
Cheers and Namaste!

YOGA PULSE STUDIO

_What is yin yoga?

Slow and passive: Yin yoga moves slowly, with poses held for much longer than in other styles of yoga.
Targets connective tissues: The long holds are designed to stretch and hydrate the deep connective tissues, rather than the muscles.
Meditation and mindfulness: The practice is deeply meditative, encouraging practitioners to focus on their breath and turn inward, helping to quiet the mind.
Uses props: Bolsters, blankets, and blocks are used to help the body relax into the poses with minimal effort.
Lower body focus: Classes often focus on the lower part of the body, such as the hips, pelvis, and lower spine, areas rich in connective tissue.

What is a sound bath?

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants lie down and are immersed in sounds from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes, which are played in a slow, deliberate pattern. The goal is to relax and reduce stress by letting go of tension and wandering thoughts through the use of resonant vibrations, not a structured melody or rhythm. While research is ongoing, proponents suggest potential benefits like stress reduction, improved sleep, and enhanced mental clarity.

This event was suggested from our brainstorming event a few months back, so if there is lots of interest, we can do this again in the spring or summer with more people!
If you are interested in a high tea, light lunch or just scones and clotted cream, let’s enjoy a cuppa at the English Rose Tea Room in Carefree together! Their menu is attached below as well as their tea selection.
See you in the New Year!
