Okay. This is one of the hardest weekend lists I’ve ever had to do. This dump of snow has cancelled some events, but others are in full force. Best I can tell, St. Patrick’s Day parties are not deterred by a little snowfall. There will be no parade in Virginia City, but the Rocky Mountain Oyster Fest is on. Head to downtown Carson for more green beer, Irish music, and corned beef and cabbage than you’ll know what to do with.

SATURDAY: St. Patrick’s Day

Winter may be showing up fashionably late, but she was certain to make an entrance. Schools in Carson City are closed due to the snowfall we received last night, but Carson Valley and Lyon County schools will be open. For the kids of Youth Theater Carson City: the show must go on.

The Beginner Yoga class is a course for those new to yoga and for those who have tried yoga and are ready to renew their practice. Mary Kay is skillfull in working with all body types. The class will focus on self acceptance of the body, providing support to enjoy the pose with the use of props when needed. The instructor is Mary Kay Raponi.

An intention of gratitude, curiosity and relaxation is offered in the class while you experience:

— Foundational poses to increase strength and stretch your muscles safely.

It’s play-off Sunday and we are all picking the teams that we want to cheer for in the big game. You can watch the Jaguars battle the Patriots, then the Eagles attack the Vikings. You have one last chance to commune with the monks of India. There is a workshop at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Coincidentally the classic sci-fi movie, Alien, is playing at Galaxy Theater the same times. Get a glimpse inside the historic Wungnema house at the east end of Mills Park during the afternoon’s Open House.

Attend six lunch time yoga classes, the seventh class is free! This is a mixed level class of Hatha Yoga. This means that all levels of students are welcome. The class is designed to help rejuvenate and stimulate the mind and the body so that the rest of the work day is met with a fresh perspective. This class is not a “super-sweaty” flow class so folks can return to work without feeling like they need to shower! This class is taught by a different teacher each day of the week, so the teaching style may be different each day!

Ready, set, crawl. The Brew Crew’s monthly pub crawl kicks off from the Laxalt Plaza next to the Nugget and includes up several downtown area taverns and restaurants.

SATURDAY:

Deborah Stevenson offers a refreshing, six-week series, featuring simple movements and guided meditations for balance and renewal. This Sheng Zhen Qigong course is suitable for beginners who have an interest in meditation but "can't sit still." Qigong means “energy in motion” and its purpose is to open and purify the heart. Sitting, standing, and lying down meditations will be introduced. This class is perfect for seniors. Non-yogis are welcome; the form is easy to learn.

Do you have arthritis, fibromyalgia, or similar aches and pains? Would your body prefer a gentle yoga practice? Are you interested in learning how to work with people who have arthritis?

This is the class for you! The yoga taught in this workshop draws from many yoga practices, and is designed specifically for people with arthritis. It is a gentle class designed to help you understand how to use yoga and modifications to manage your arthritis.

Tibetan monks, on a two-year tour of the United States from the Gaden Shartse Monastery in India, will be visiting Carson City and South Lake Tahoe to share their unique and deeply spiritual culture of Tibetan Buddhism.

A slow and leisurely Sunday morning yoga practice. This practice will gently warm you up and prepare your body and mind for deeper opening and exploration. The class finishes with a lovely guided meditation.

This practice is based on the Tibetan Yoga chakra balancing series, allowing each student to create a smooth flow of balanced, calm energy. The extra time allows you to deepen into each asana in a way that isn’t available in a shorter class. This deepening relaxes and heals body and mind, reversing the effects of anxiety and chronic stress. (We could all use a little of that!)

Yoga Nidra is 75 minutes worth of the perfect antidote to a frenetically busy life and compounded daily stresses. The practice is composed of various parts: Savasana (corpse pose for deep rejuvenation), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal and the ability to quiet the mind, letting go of biased thought, opinions, habitual ways of processing information, and cultural programming), Pratipaksha Bhavana (intentionally replacing one thought with another, also known as positive thought replacement), surrender to the practice, deep breathing, focusing the mind, and deep relaxation.

Carson City Yoga officially opens for business this week at its downtown location and offers a full schedule of classes and events to serve yoga enthusiasts at all levels, from beginning to advanced.

The evolution of a local yoga education studio will open Monday, Jan. 1 as Carson City Yoga takes aim at community and education, celebrating and supporting teachers, students and community, said Amy Smith Joytir and Mary Kay Raponi in a joint announcement.

Join us for an hour of gentle yoga in our Digitorium. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring a yoga mat, towel, and water (we will have some mats available).

ALL AGES: Ages 9 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver of at least 13 years of age at all times.

This is a 6 week class for those who are brand new to yoga. Class size is limited to allow for personal attention. We will take yoga slow, and learn about fundamentals. Learn about your core (what the heck does that mean, anyway?) and how to move more efficiently in order to prevent injury.

You will learn how to move in and out of basic poses, and learn a few classic introductory yoga postures. We will include elements of strength, stretching, balance, and breath.
