Moon Salutations - Moondalini with Natassia Dickey

Harness the energy of the new moon in Leo as we flow through a more traditional moon salutation practice. Known for its calming, yin energy, moon salutation helps us connect with the energy of nature to find balance from our active, yang lifestyles. Following this flow will be a meditation and kundalini kriya to help cultivate the wisdom of the new moon archetype and usher in the teachings of Leo: to show up for yourself and overcome self-doubt and insecurity on the path to being the fullest version of you. All levels of experience are welcome and no prior kundalini experience is necessary.

Yin + Sound with Ash

Experience the perfect blend of practices, designed to improve flexibility, release tension and harmonize the body’s energetic flow. This class begins with yin yoga, focusing on the fascia and connective tissue, and concludes with a soothing sound bath, using frequency and vibration to balance the body, mind and spirit.

Ash describes herself as a modern day ecstatic, traveling the world and collecting bits of magic from each transcendent experience to create her own brand of spiritual alchemy. Music and sound have always been a therapeutic part of her life and after attending her first sound bath, the effect was so profound that she left her corporate job and began her own healing practice, sharing her gifts through sound therapy, various forms of yoga, reiki and ecstatic dance.

HIIT, Yin, and Release with Richard Gartner

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.

Add to Cart Releasing & Healing Our Emotional Body Through Postures & Breathwork It is said that the human being has a powerful guiding voice within; it is the voice of our intuition and wisdom. But this voice is commonly drowned out by the noise in our mind. The noise is often caused from chaotic or congested emotions from stress, depression, PTS, or anxiety. In this workshop we will begin with a talk by Max, then move into a gentle breath-initiated movement sequence. The second half of the workshop will focus on floor postures and breath-work to release the mind and body from long-held emotions that impede our happiness and our ability to sleep well. Bring your mat and writing materials. All levels welcome.

Add to Cart First Aid Kit for Grief It is an unprecedented time. We all have someone close to us in crisis, or maybe we ourselves are just barely hanging on. What do you do and say when someone you care about falls apart into grief? What should you not do and say? Most of us lack any guidance whatsoever in this critical, very human, and ever-present emotion. This workshop will show you how to hold space for those who are grieving in a way that makes them feel seen, cared for, and that they belong in your community. The event explains a new understanding of the interconnectedness between grief and intimacy and meaningful connection. Includes lecture, self-enquiry, writing, and some gentle breathwork. Bring writing materials.
