You are invited to participate in Awaken the Love Within: A Valentine's Day Workshop on Self-Love & Acceptance, facilitated by Edgewood's own Crystal Moore and colleague Gretchen Schock.

Description:
Love is often described as the most powerful emotion in the world, encouraging great acts of service and sacrifice. Our love for others flows from the love we extend to ourselves. We cannot love others unless we love ourselves. Cultivating self-love and acceptance are vital for living an authentic, purposeful life.

Enter into an unconditional relationship with yourself, as you are right now, with appreciation and gratitude for your unique characteristics. As Valentine's Day approaches, thoughts turn to love. Join us for an afternoon workshop focused on self-love and acceptance.

All levels Vinyasa yoga practice with a personal goal setting, journaling, and discussion.

Please bring a mat and journal. Space is limited. Sign up early.
