Connection Experience
Thursday, Dec 19: 7:00-8:30 pm
More than food and water, it is said we as humans need CONNECTION to thrive.
Join us for a special monthly event to share, be heard, felt and seen. Weaving together yogic, embodiment, and intimacy practices, you’ll have an opportunity to
connect in a group dynamic and have one on one exchanges.
Each experience will have guided prompts to invite each participant deeper within themselves, and into the present moment. There will be seated and standing
invitations, as well as verbal and non-verbal practices.
The keys to authentic relating and connection is through cultivating the gifts of presence, equanimity, and vulnerability. We hope you’ll join us and share in this
uplifting, heart centered evening to stretch yourself as we evolve and grow….together in connection. “

Gentle Movement + Sound Bath
Monday, Dec 23: 7:00-8:30 pm
Give yourself permission to deeply rest your body and mind. This immersive offering combines yoga with the power of sound healing and encourages physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Begin with conscious breathing accompanied by slow, gentle movements. Once our body is more at ease and our mind less busy, we then drop in for a Sound Bath. This practice is one that will help restore your inner light and come back home to yourself, your true nature.
How does a sound bath work?
The sound waves help relax muscles, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality. When you listen to soothing sounds, you enter a state of relaxation called alpha brain wave activity. Alpha waves are associated with deep concentration and creativity. This makes them ideal for creative endeavors, including writing and painting. Beta waves are minimized during this state, which means you become less aware of external stimuli. You may feel relaxed, focused, and even sleepy.
Sound baths allow you to completely immerse yourself in the experience of healing vibrations. As you listen to the music, your body relaxes, your mind lets go of thoughts and you enter into a deep a state of calm.
Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. Come as you are.

Exploring the Psoas to Shake Off Trauma
Saturday, Jan 11: 4:00-6:00 pm
This workshop will explain the importance of the Psoas, which Taoist healers refer to as “the muscle of the soul". Based on the wisdom of Peter Levin, PhD and David Bercelli, PhD. We will create a safe environment for all to surrender past trauma without having to mentally re-live or recall the trauma we are releasing. Discover how a tight Psoas affects the breathing, which in turn affects our mood, emotions and overall health. Enjoy a vigorous vinyasa practice designed to exhaust the Psoas to release unwanted emotions from the body. Rest in stillness with Yoga Nidra which is extremely healing on all levels. This practice will guide the mind and body into total relaxation where you can access a deeper level of inner awareness. Here you will release unwanted habits, tensions and self-limiting beliefs. Increase your body's capacity for self healing and awaken to your greatest inner potential. We will complete the experience with a crystal bowl sound bath.
This is a very physical vinyasa. Please let me know ahead of time of any physical limitations so we can decide if this class is appropriate for you right now. Not recommended if we are in the center of trauma right now.
