Steamboat Springs As the snow begins to melt, the spring season awakens. And with that change, comes new transitions throughout daily life.

Spring is all about awakening and celebrating life, rebirth and coming out of winter, said Talaya Thomas, local yoga and Pilates instructor and organizer.

What: Spring Awakening

When: 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 22

Where: Rowse Studio, 41300 Routt County Road 36

Cost: $36 with all proceeds donated to the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council

To tap into the energizing Vernal Equinox with Friday as the first day of spring, Thomas and other yoga instructors created a workshop that goes beyond a typical yoga class.

Transforming the mind, body and spirit to work in harmony with the season, the Spring Awakening yoga workshop will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Rowse Studio near the Strawberry Hot Springs. The business is owned by Kris Rowse and her husband.

To create a connection with the local community, 50 percent of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council. In return, YVSC will provide lavender seeds to workshop participants to plant with dedicated intentions.

1 to 1:15 p.m. - Welcome tea
