Detox
Step off the holiday hamster wheel and take a moment to relax.
Get your head right for the holidays with Acu Yoga at Third Space Wellness on Nov. 22 and Dec. 20. This restorative yoga class will ease your way into or out of a family visit, plus you’ll get a mini-acupuncture treatment so you can handle any holiday craziness that comes your way!
Escape to Catylator Makerspace and channel your stress into something productive. Making things with your hands can help bring the relaxation response! Take all those projects you’ve been wanting to finish off the shelf or try your hand at something new, like making a personalized laser cut journal cover or laser cut jewelry with wire wrapping.
Stop by Zed’s Cafe for a calming blended tea (we’re partial to the lemongrass ginger). Watch the scene on Georgia Avenue or stay late on Friday or Saturday for live music.
Spend an afternoon at the AFI Silver to catch an old holiday movie or two before you head back to bake and wrap. Or zone out in the pink room at Joe’s Record Paradise listening to albums and droning out the sound of your to do list.
If you want even more music, head to the Sonic Circuits show at Pyramid Atlantic on Dec. 12. Featuring five different acts, this experimental music show will expose you to new artists and sounds. Or check out Bump ‘n Grind’s music lineup for a refreshing way wrap up a long day.
Connect with your Twitter pals IRL at the #SSTweetUp on Dec. 1 at La Malinche. If the crazies on Twitter don’t brighten your holidays, the sangria surely will!
