The joy of gardening can sometimes leave you with aching muscles and overtaxed joints. Lindel Hart will work with you on yoga poses and other stretches that can help you prevent and/or alleviate some of the common ailments associated with gardening. You'll learn ways to keep yourself healthy before, during and after gardening. In this workshop we'll focus on strengthening the core, opening the shoulders and hips, and protecting your knees and back. Invite body, mind and spirit to blossom with your garden! Yoga for Gardeners is geared to all gardeners, from backyard hobbyists to professional landscapers. |

Yoga
For Your Feet: Re-energize
your feet and positively impact your overall health as instructor Lindel
Hart leads you through an exploration of yoga poses and other exercises
to awaken your whole body from the ground up! Learn how to strengthen
and balance your feet, improve your foundation, and care for your whole
body. Our feet are the foundation for our well-being, supporting us as
we stand, walk, and engage in our active lives. Don't neglect your feet!
Taking care of your feet can help stave off problems in other parts of
the body - the hips, knees, lower back, even the neck and jaw. Build a better foot through yoga! Beginners welcome! |

 Core
Strength and Balance:A workshop with Lindel Hart Strengthen your abs and increase stability through balancing poses. Build awareness of the relationship between your core and balance. While we are led to believe that the elusive six-pack abs are what it's all about, it's the deeper abdominals that do the real work of keeping the spine free and supported. Learn how to tone the midsection and build abdominal strength by working through a number of yoga poses and other exercises. We'll also work on balancing poses to discover just how important abdominal support is. Take home a practice that supports your whole body from the inside out! Some knowledge and experience of yoga is helpful if you plan to attend this workshop. |

Henna with Heart with Kelly
Flaherty of Henna
ElementsAdorn your body with Kelly Flaherty's amazing henna art! Henna is a safe, natural dye derived from the crushed leaves of the henna plant, a flowering shrub which grows in hot arid regions like North Africa and the Middle East. Traditionally it was used to paint elaborate and auspicious designs on the hands and feet of brides to bless the marriage and nurture fertility. Modern times have brought this 9000-year-old art form to many cultures across the globe. Buddhists, Christians, earth-based religions, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and others use henna for celebrating weddings, holidays, births and coming-of-age rituals. Now men and women alike adorn themselves with henna art. Just as you choose jewelry to wear, you choose the temporary designs of henna to express yourself. Unlike ink tattooing, henna application does not pierce the skin. A paste is applied to the skin in a hand-drawn design, staining the first few layers of the skin a rich burgundy color that lasts one to two weeks. The design will gradually disappear as you naturally exfoliate. The process of receiving henna is relaxing, both for the recipient and the onlookers. Many people report a deep sense of ease while having henna applied. Designs can be as
simple or elaborate as you choose, with prices starting at only $5. For more information,
contact Kelly Flaherty: |

Physical
Theatre Workshop All live performance styles have something in common: the performer seeks to communicate something to the audience, to affect the audience, and ideally, to reach the audience on an emotional level. The physical performer has an advantage, because nonverbal communication is extremely powerful. But technique alone will not move an audience, nor will it enable performers to reach their full potential as artists. This workshop focuses on proven exercises in dramatic structure, vulnerability, imagination, improvisation, status, and establishing a relationship with the audience. Students will come away with expanded possibilities and understanding of themselves and their art, and the power to courageously initiate a dialogue with any audience. |

Join Lindel Hart and Rick Roberts for an afternoon of physical, spiritual and mental rejuvenation. Enter into the stillness that promotes self exploration through yoga, chanting and meditation. Come together in community with others for this mindful retreat from an overactive world to reconnect with your natural state of balance, harmony and peace. The afternoon will include a gentle asana practice guided by Lindel Hart and chanting with Rick Roberts and friends, as well as time for silent meditation together. There will be no specific instruction for meditation; we'll simply sit quietly together. Like the quiet space
between the in-breath and the out-breath, the stillness that arises out
of yoga and chanting leads one easily and naturally into meditation. No
vocal/musical, yoga or meditation experience is necessary to experience
the joy of this afternoon of contemplative practice. All are welcome,
regardless of the type of yoga, meditation or spiritual practice you may
have. This event is FREE. However, donations are appreciated. For more information,
contact Lindel Hart or Rick Roberts:

Come join us at the beautiful healing space of Hart Yoga Studio on the top floor of the Salmon Falls Artisan Showroom building in Shelburne Falls, MA, for a deep inner experience using breathwork, evocative music, expressive artwork, and group sharing. This shamanista musical healing experiential uses the power of circular rhythmic breathing along with evocative music that creates energy flow through the chakra system of the body. This method is very effective for accessing ones inner landscape. This deep healing experience can facilitate the release of deep psychic blocks stored in cellular memory, thus opening the mind and heart for a deeper understanding of Self and the interconnectedness to all creation. The group experience facilitates the energies that are necessary to transform both individually and universally. Faith Burrington Jones is a psychotherapist who specializes in the integration and alignment of Body/Mind/Spirit. She is certified in Integrative Breathwork and Psycho-spiritual Integration through Jacquelyn Small and the Eupsychia Institute. She has been studying and practicing holistic healing for well over 20 years. She feels deeply honored and blessed to guide others on their individual journeys to remembering their true essence and creating their life's purpose. She strongly believes that life flows in a continuum of death/rebirth cycles and acceptance of this process brings peace and joy into ones life experience. We are currently in a transformational shift both individually and universally in conscious awareness and are being called to a daily practice of aligning with ultimate truth and our Soul purpose. This workshop facilitates deep Shamanic healing and conscious awareness; it is a healing into wholeness!

Artist's Statement: I have lived in Deerfield, Massachusetts, at Woolman Hill for eleven years. I am a professional cellist, and I also work at Woolman Hill. I became obsessed with photography at age fifteen while living in Windsor, Ontario. My first camera was a medium format twin-lens reflex; two of the photos in this exhibit are from my first roll of film in that camera.
My work could be described as documentary photography. I strive to capture art and beauty in the everyday images of people, things, and nature. I only shoot black and white film. My cameras over the years have been a Yashica Mat twin lens reflex, and Argus C3, an Olympus OM2, a Leica M3, and most recently, my uncle's Rolleiflex, a return to my original medium format. The prints in the exhibit were processed by me, on selenium-toned double-weight fiber paper. View Mark's photos during regular Hart Yoga class times or by special arrangement with Lindel Hart (413.768.9291 or lindel@hartyoga.com) |

I
loved my time alone prowling the streets in search of good shots. I remember
cutting high school classes when the light outside was irresistibly just
right. I loved equally my time in the darkroom, the magic of watching
my creations come to life in the developer tray.
