Take care of yourself this holiday season. As the colder days and less daylight settle in, it’s so important to engage in self-care practices. This a time of year that calls for slowing down, going inward, taking pause.

During this 2hr deep dive into bliss with Dana, we will move slower, pause often and target deeper layers of the muscles, connective tissues and psyche. The posture sequence will help increase immunity health, decrease stress and support mental and emotional well-being. This workshop will weave in tips and tricks that you can take with you and use in your day to day life.

There is a magic to this practice - it brings us back to ourselves. It helps us remember who we are beyond the hustle and bustle, away from the noise of every day living and takes us back to the heart. That’s the gift of Deep Yin.

All experience levels welcome.

Relaxation is a natural state of being, but one we don’t practice enough. For a lot of us, rest is only found when we’re in a deep sleep. In order for us to feel truly rested, we need to also experience it while we’re awake and aware.

In this 1.5 hour guided conscious rest practice, we’ll become very aware of our body and mind slipping deeper and deeper into rest. Using the tools of gentle yoga, breath, music and meditation we’ll enter a deep state of conscious rest.
In this state of rest we can:

Process our emotions more easily so they’re not burning out our system
Release anti stress hormones so we feel truly rested
Move into alpha and theta brain waves which are responsible for creativity, flow state and intuition
This workshop will be a guided practice from start to finish, woven with brain wave and nervous system theory. Leave feeling deeply rested with tools to find restful pockets in your day to day life.

A healthy well-hydrated fascial system is necessary for good quality movement. Our range of movement is largely determined by our fascia, the fascial layers gliding over each other is what actually allows movement to occur.

This structured recovery class can be helpful whether you need recovery from specific sport, excess movement, lack of movement, injury prevention or rehab, or simply recovery from day to day living.

We will focus on the spiral lines of our body, so lots of great work around the spine and torso and outer hips. The class will include MFR as well as some active and passive recovery finding a combination of traditional yoga poses and science backed techniques to hydrate, mobilize, stabilize and release our body.

Please bring Myofascial release balls, 2 of equal size, otherwise some will be provided using sanitary measures. A yoga block would also be helpful for this class.
All levels welcome!
