Taught by Allana Radecki who has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1988. Her “Yoga from the Inside Out,” draws upon the foundation poses of Hatha Yoga, guided by the breath, to develop a balanced, mindful practice. Allana’s method adapts easily to all ages and levels of practice and is helpful to people with special needs, injuries and joint replacements.

ABOUT AMETRINE:
A great stone for the Astrological Sign Gemini, the Twins. A powerful combo of Amethyst and Citrine, the two together are more powerful than apart. Amethyst connects to intuition and Citrine to the work we do in our daily lives, making it ideal for bringing dreams into reality. Amethyst is soothing, as citrine is uplifting, creating a perfect harmony of yin and yang energy.

This class is taught by jewelry designer and healing crystal expert Jessica Ann Miller. Because she’s a crystal healer, you will be able to ask any questions you’ve ever had about crystals!

How the piece is made:
Electroforming is a type of modern alchemy where particles of copper form a coating through electrodeposition. Pure copper is known to amplify crystal energy, boost flow of chi, and bring vitality and luck. Once you design your piece, you leave it with us to complete the electroforming process. It takes 12-36 hours to get a nice copper deposition. You can take a peak in our studio to see what’s “cooking.” Your jewelry piece will be available for pick up approximately one week after class date.
