YOGA IN YELAPA

Yoga in Yelapa, is a united community of yoga teachers that will work together in teaching yoga classes in a private setting to individuals, couples, and small groups who are visiting or living in Yelapa. What’s unique about our yoga in Yelapa program, is that it has been designed to create yoga ‘HOSTS’ throughout the community of Yelapa, Mexico, where the ‘HOST’ understands the importance in creating private yoga classes focusing specifically to their group’s needs.

Our goal is to keep classes private or very small to retain the teacher’s attention on everyone involved and thus allowing the sequences and overall flow of the class to focus on your own personal goals and intentions. Not only will you be able to choose the flow of the class; whether you’d like a traditional hatha or a faster paced vinyasa, but we come to you and your vacation rental, or private setting. Sessions can also be arranged at in-town sacred yoga spaces, beachfront, or at the river. Whatever you prefer, you can choose! The program is for locals & tourists a like.

Holistic health coaching | Integrative nutrition

Integrative Nutrition is a type of philosophy in which we look at balancing our primary and secondary foods. Primary foods, are not actually foods, but a way in which you can see how all areas of your life are connected, and where you can discover which primary foods (relationships, health, spirituality, joy, home environment, etc) need attention in order to create the life you love.

Secondary foods, which is nutrition, is the foundation of how you are each and every day. It is the catalyst that either makes you feel fantastic, or not. It is what creates your mental clarity, mood, energy, ambition, creativity, body mass, and much much more!  The interconnection of primary and secondary foods are the foundation of the Vikara Wellness practice!

My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.  Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing unhealthy food cravings, increasing sleep, learn how to manage stress & anxiety, discover areas in your life that are not serving you, and maximizing energy.  As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

Shaking Medicine in therapeutic Tremoring

for nervous system regulation

You will be taught and guided by a Shaking Medicine embodiment teacher. The class comprises of embodiment movements that have been created to release tension, stress, anxiety, ptsd and the effects of trauma from the body by triggering neurogenic tremors/pulsations/vibrations(a natural human response) to discharge stress, releasing the fight/flight cycle that we didn't allow happen & is being stored in the body.

This type of somatic based practice is to reset the nervous system, bringing it closer to rest/digest, by working with the physical alchemy of the body. Reducing any cortisol/adrenaline charge that the system may be experiencing, bringing you into homeostasis.

Why do we do this? To balance the triune brain/body connection, so we can experience the stressors of life in a more balanced way. Not having our decisions be souly driven by our emotions, survival brain, or thinking mind.

Living in a chronically dysregulated state can lead to compromised immunity, poor sleep patterns, challenged digestion, difficulty concentrating, strained relationships and more.

Calm your nervous system, and let go of sympathetic activation.

Therapeutic Tremoring is a somatic based practice that focuses on regulating the nervous system by working to release deep layers of muscular tension due to tension, stress, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD, that everyday exercise isn’t able to release.

This long held tension could be effecting your mental, emotional, and physical state of being, not realizing that you are living each day in a state of chronic stress/hyperarousal.

Just like how animals tremor and shake to regulate their nervous system from a stressful event, we too need to embrace this natural response.

We have grown in a society where tremors and shaking is something that we want to suppress by obtaining some kind of composure, when it should be a part of our natural way in moving through what just happened from a physical level, directly working with the mind/body connection.

After the session, deliberately look for new growth in your day to day life:

• Stress levels

• Tension & pain

• Freedom of movement

• Energy levels

• Sleep & dreams

• Emotional expression

• Mind & thinking

• Creativity

• Relationship with others

• Groundedness & Centeredness

• Presence & awareness

• Sense & vitality

• anything else you notice…

SOUND HEALING

What is Sound Healing?

Sound Healing is the therapeutic use of sounds

• to heal on the physical level

• to overcome a blockage on emotional level

• to raise the energy levels

• to change the thought pattern/belief

To acknowledge the pattern upon which ones life is currently moving and to allow the consciousness to transform the emotional blockages is “Sound Healing”.

Sound as a tool teaches one to observe life through its lens. It teaches to observe own thoughts, emotions, mental state & the energy level one is surrounded with at any given point in time. The observation in itself is a way sound works. Sound brings mental clarity & hence teaches one to observe self without attaching to the experience & thereby to understand the situation from a higher perspective.

The journey with sound may begin with any instrument like singing bowls, gong, drums, voice but it surely does have a common destiny which is silence. Like it is so wisely said silence has its own sound and it is the stillness within that allows one to experience the sound of the silence.

KAP (Kundalini Activation Processs) 

The Most Transformative Process You’ve Never Heard Of

For thousands of years, yogi’s have been trying to awaken their Kundalini in order to work through their karma, connect to the bliss that is our human birthright, and attain higher states of consciousness. Writer and yogi Gopi Krishna, calls Kundalini the “evolutionary energy in man” and famed psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung professed that an awakened Kundalini was an essential element in becoming a fully integrated human.

While the concept of Kundalini is a foreign one in our Western culture, civilizations throughout the ages have understood both it’s power and it’s necessity, not only for spiritual pursuit, but in order for us live our highest potential as a human… physically, mentally and emotionally.

KAP awakens this natural, evolutionary process, opening up long-held blockages in the subtle energy body. This results in a profound rewiring of the brain structure and central nervous system that will strengthen with repeated exposure to the KAP energy.

You just simply lie down, relax completely, and experience the energetics of KAP
