HIIT, Yin, and Release with Richard

Prepare, maximize, and wind down in meaningful and research-backed ways. In this workshop, we spend time preparing our joints and connective tissues, as well as priming our lymphatic system. HIIT routines have been shown to increase cardiac fitness and blood health. Yin Yoga helps release tight connective tissues and has been shown to decrease stress.

After age 30, we begin to lose as much as 5% muscle mass per decade. We also lose bone density, elasticity and lymphatic flow. A thoughtful, well-designed routine can slow these processes down, and may reverse some. Richard has designed an exercise template that feels safe and effective for him, and has grounded this routine with six studies on exercise and aging.

What is Reiki? Reiki is an energy healing technique that uses gentle hand movements to facilitate the flow of energy throughout the body. It can help reduce stress, promote relaxation and provide healing to our physical and emotional well being.

Moon Salutations /Moondalini

Join Natassia Dickey for a special practice designed to embrace the ancient proverb “The sun sees your body. The moon sees your soul.” Let’s clear out old energy as we usher in a new moon, bringing with it the energy of new beginnings specific to the month’s astrological sign. Experience a traditional Moon Salutation sequence, a Kundalini Kriya (for all levels of experience), and a calming meditation practice as we ground down into the moon’s energy, restore our nervous system, and set internal intentions for this next chapter.
