This practice is designed to ignite your life force and return balance to your system. In this 1.5 hr practice, we will use mantra, sound, movement and pranayama techniques to clear the body of stagnant energy. This will connect you to a blissful and relaxed state of mind/body/heart.

In yoga, the breath is seen as a vehicle for prana or life-force energy. When our breath is unsteady, our entire system mirrors that unsteadiness.

The breath has the inherent capacity to bring us back to calm state. This calm state improves immune function, energy levels and overall health.

You will love this workshop! I can’t wait to share it with you.

Take your practice to new places in this 2 hour journey of utilizing the benefits of core gliders with Jen Pakuts. 

Get ready to drastically increase your balance and strength. The gliders add an element of instability that requires your core to work harder, activate more muscles, tap into small stabilizers you don't normally use and train your mind-body to access new levels of focus.

Class will include one hour of play & hard work, followed by another hour of stretching and wind down.

Warning: You may feel sore in new places in the days following!

In this 4 week series, we will explore how the body carries our trauma / stress and how we can engage in processes to promote healing.

Each week, we will focus on a different theme to build resilience, release stored stress and return to balance. You can expect a blend of discussion, philosophy, movement, sound & breath work, guided healing meditations and somatic practices.

Unprocessed stress and traumatic events can severely impact mental and physical well-being. Often times, this occurs below the level of conscious awareness and yet influences everything we do.

Perhaps you are experiencing:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Sleeplessness
• Burnout
• Digestive issues
• Irritability
• Difficulty with focus/concentration
• and more... 

Whatever the symptom(s), the answer lies within. Wherever the wound, therein lies the wisdom for deep transformation, growth and new beginnings.

Please note: This program is not a replacement for individual therapy. The intention of this series to provide education from a yogic and somatic lens as well as offer strategies to help with accumulated stress & trauma. .

Dana has been studying healing work for 10+ years. She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Embodiment Coach and Plant Spirit Medicine Healer. She works with clients one-on-one and in group settings to promote healing through these modalities.

Inversions can shift the flow of energy in our bodies and life. Have you felt stagnant? Need a new perspective or something to reboot your system? Join this practice and feel the benefits it has to offer!

We will break down the key inversions - shoulderstand, headstand, handstand, wheel - and have ample time to practice correct technique & progressions. We will also incorporate the emotional and spiritual aspects of these postures.

After this, expect time to play with incorporating inversions into your practice with a short flow sequence.

Our time will close with a guided relaxation to integrate the mental, physical and emotional benefits of inversions.

Some benefits of inversions:

• Improves circulation
• Supports lymphatic system
• Nervous system balance
• Helping the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain helps with concentration and memory.

Being upside-down changes your view on the world, both literally and metaphorically. Hope you will join us!

No inversion experience necessary, but yoga experience recommended.
