TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA FOR WOMEN at The Portland Yoga Project @ The Portland Yoga Project | Portland | Maine | United States

This class is designed for women survivors of trauma, including those experiencing chronic pain. The focus of this class is to befriend our bodies through movement, breath, and self-awareness to help regulate the nervous system, manage stress, and cultivate a sense of calm and groundedness. We will explore sensations of comfort and ease and emphasize listening to our own body’s wisdom, needs, and boundaries in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. We believe in the healing power of community and connection.

This class offers a supportive space for you to connect with fellow participants who share similar experiences and challenges. We will foster a sense of belonging and solidarity as we journey together towards healing and growth.
No prior experience of yoga is required! All women are welcome.

What to Expect—

  • Participants can choose to be on a mat or in a chair depending on their level of comfort.

  • Classes begin with breathing exercises and warm-up movements that are widely accessible for various levels of mobility

  • Maria will guide participants through a program to stretch, strengthen, and balance their bodies.

Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies?! I’m here to help!

Everything you’ll need is provided at class along with a live in-person instructor – just bring a smile (and maybe an apron).

This class is for the beginner cookier or for the person who is just curious about what cookie decorating is all about! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or if you’re trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We will be doing a fun Valentine’s Day theme set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve completed your decorating!

We provide everything you will need from cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in – we just need YOU! Each to-be-baker gets 6 cookies, 4 icing colors, sprinkles, and all the tools necessary to knock this cookie class out of the park! Everything is prepped right before class – so no baking or icing mixing required. Just decorate!

Sip & Learn Series: Painting Autumn with ArtVan @ The Cellars at Allagash Brewing Company, Industrial Way, Portland, ME

Sip & Learn Series: Painting Autumn with ArtVan @ The Cellars at Allagash Brewing Company, Industrial Way, Portland, ME | Portland | Maine | United States

As Pablo Picasso once said, “It is the artist’s role to bring order out of chaos.”

Autumn is a season of transition—school has started, winter is coming, holidays are impending—and with transition comes its partner, chaos. It can make you feel like a screaming pumpkin one minute and a quiet falling leaf the next. Luckily, we can use our own artistry and imagination to help us discover the possibilities of Fall’s unique, and sometimes chaotic, transitions. Using acrylic paint and collage, we’ll paint 10×10 canvases to navigate our way through Autumn’s upheavals.
