January 5, 2019, Saturday - January 2019 Public Mosh at The Saloon

Time: 1p -5p

Location:The Saloon MN, 830 Hennepin Avenue

January 2019 Public Mosh

The North Star Kennel Club is proud to host our January public mosh. This is a public event and is open to all.

This event is free to NSKC members. A $5 donation is requested but not required from non-members.

The pup community has grown out of the leather community and we come together to celebrate and play. However, human-pup role-play has taken on its own identity with its entry level being low and non-threatening, energizing and rewarding, with treats and toys and no small talk required. Many find it therapeutic.

Come join us! Find out what we're about. Maybe take off your shoes, get down on your knees and pup out. You don't need gear, just an open mind.

January 5, 2019, Saturday - Gem Yoga: RELEASE THE MAGIC WITHIN YOU at Hewing Hotel

Time: 1p - 3p

Location: Hewing Hotel, 300 N Washington Avenue

Gem Yoga: RELEASE THE MAGIC WITHIN YOU

Join Layne Averill, founder of The Gem Life for this intro workshop to understanding crystals, mantras, breath and alignment throughout Gem Yoga. 

Gem Yoga is a spiritual experience inspired by Hatha Yoga infused with rhythmic movement. We use mantras, crystals and essential oils as tools in class to open up your senses and allow you to dive deeper into your soul.

We focus on your organs, fascia and muscles as we believe all need maintenance in order to live your best “gem” life.

This workshop has been designed to support students in understanding how Gem Yoga works as well as learn the tools and resources we use throughout class.

During the workshop students will use crystals during a guided meditation as well as scents from various oils to awaken your senses for a total mind, body experience.

You will walk away with a better understanding of the Gem Yoga Flow and be able to tap into your subtle energy.

So what are you waiting for? Come brush your teeth and clean your soul.
