Fundraiser for AK Native Women's Resource Center
with Jacie
Thursday | November 26 | 10-11:15am
Our Thanksgiving fundraiser class is going to look a little bit different this year, but we’re excited to come together (mostly virtually) to move, breathe, and practice in preparation for whatever plans you have for the holiday. There will be 8 available studio spots and space for up to 100 virtual students! Also, this year we are extending the 20% discounted punch cards to ALL students, not just those who are registered for class. Blow is the breakdown of punch card costs that will be available to purchase ALL DAY on November 26:
5 Class PC – $48 (Normally $60)
10 Class PC – $88 (Normally $110)
20 Class PC – $160 (Normally $200)
(5 & 10 Class Punch Cards have a 6-Month Expiration)
(20 Class Punch Cards have a 12-Month Expiration)
Punch cards can be used both online and in-person.
As we all know, Thanksgiving tradition is more than just a feast and is based on not so glamorous American history so we invite you to join us in raising funds for the Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center (AKNWRC) this year. There are various donation amounts, ranging from $0 to $45 so choose what option works for you and you’re still more than welcome to attend if you can’t make a donation.
NOTE: The Zoom link for virtual classes will be sent out 30 minutes prior to class and class will begin streaming 15 minutes before class begins for everyone to get settled and say hi. This is different than our normal class registration protocol to make sure everyone gets the link without too much individual troubleshooting.
Thanksgiving has always been a popular day for yoga in Fairbanks, and we’re excited to see you all turn up in this modified format to support each other during a time where community is crucial to our wellness.

About this Series
This series, inspired by polyvagal theory, will help you explore mindfulness techniques to work with your emotions. Traditional silent seated mindfulness practice can be difficult for those whose nervous systems are being challenged by our current collective stressors.
As we know from polyvagal theory, “state creates story”, meaning that the state of our nervous system dictates our perceptions, narrative and emotions in this moment, towards ourselves and the world around us. For some of us, stressors cause the nervous system to become more anxious and agitated, frustrated and frantic, and therefore mobilizing us towards anger and protection. For others, stressors cause the nervous system to prepare for safety by disconnecting, becoming numb, and retreating towards despair and isolation.
By learning how to shift our nervous system towards a more ventrally-regulated state, we can better prepare ourselves to be able to observe our thoughts and emotions without becoming so subsumed by them that we dissociate.
In each week’s class, we will explore physical movement to help remove excess energy from the body and to facilitate embodied presence and focus. This will be followed by 20 minutes of guided mindfulness practice. Class will be rounded out by exercises or discourse to mindfully explore how to work with emotions.
Please know that you can take this series without any prior meditation experience.
Cost is $120 for the Series or $15/class Drop In
This class is offered ONLINE ONLY
The weekly Zoom link will be sent out 30 minutes prior to class. If you registered after the 30 minute mark or did not receive the link by 6:30pm, please email info@fairbanksyoga.com. A link to the recording of class will be sent out by 12pm the following day (Monday) and all links in the series will be available to view until January 17.
To register for the whole series, sign up for class on November 22 and purchase the $120 8-Week option. If you purchase the 8-Week series you will automatically be signed up to receive the weekly emails (please do not try to register for any following classes).To register for individual classes, either use our free Fairbanks Yoga app or follow the links below to register and pay for your class of choice to receive the weekly zoom link.
This class does not follow a specific schedule of topics as Linda would like to keep this series a bit more organic than other Applied Meditation courses.

What is Meditation?
Meditation is the practice of whole-hearted, non-judgmental presence with moment. The ultimate goal is to cultivate happiness that is not dependent on any external cause or circumstance. Doing this requires the stilling of both the mind and the body to allow a direct connection to the present moment. Developing a meditation practice can feel overwhelming, so in this series, we have created a practical approach to help you start your meditation journey.
Class is broken down into two parts: Practice and Lecture. In each class, we will practice guided silent seated meditation (working from 5 minutes to roughly 20 minutes by the last week), as well as explore various philosophical concepts from Eastern world views. With this foundation, we will discuss and apply these concepts to modern life so that you can regularly use these techniques.
