Restora-Yin & Massage: Heart & Hip Health
Join Lea and Dana in this two-hour yin / restorative practice to open the heart space and nourish the hips.

Imbalances in heart and hips can result in lowered mood, poor circulation and body discomfort. When we balance the energy in our hearts we connect better with others, feel more vitality and inner peace. When we release tension in the hips, we move with more ease and flow.

Yin and massage are both deep healing practices which activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the body’s fight/ flight response, promoting a deep and lasting sense of calm.

This sequence is designed to lead you into a deeply supported state of opening and relaxation. Yin postures will be accompanied with mini-massages to accentuate the effects of the practice.

Expect to leave with a happy heart and hips.

Breath-Work & Sound Bath is a sacred journey into the exploration of human potential using breath and sound, that opens the door to higher states of consciousness.

When breath work and sound are combined, we experience a connection between mind and body that has been lost because of our continual fear based survival thinking. During this practice you will experience flow state. Your thinking mind slows. This allows the deep connection from mind and body to be restored.

This will elicit the relaxation response and in the relaxation response the body relaxes, the blood pressure lowers, heart rate lowers and the body basically goes into healing mode. The mind is not in the way anymore and the body now can do what it naturally knows to do to be happy, healthy and strong.

This workshop will begin with a lecture and discussion, followed by breath-work and sound bath. We hope you will join us for this magical experience.

Exploring the heart is an ‘all terrain’ experience. Aside from it being the place where we feel all the feels, it’s also the part of us that can help us lead a loving, compassionate life.

The Brahmavihara's, as described by the Buddha, are the 4 natural qualities of our heart. They are Metta (loving kindness), Karuna (compassion), Mudita (altruistic joy) and Upekkha (Equanimity).

Join Alex Ure for this 4 week meditation series, exploring these heart qualities so you can…

better understand your relationships with yourself and others
listen and lead from your heart show up as the loving, compassionate person you are.

These sessions will be comprised of theory, discussion and meditation practice (no physical yoga practice).

Please bring a cushion to use as a comfortable seat, a mat if you wish to lay down for your meditation practice, a journal, and a pen.
