TARGETED & SPECIALIZED YOGA SESSIONS

Apana Vayu, Navel Center, & Elimination Practices

Daily, you will practice specific yoga & meditation kundalini kriyas that will work with apana vayu, the energy governing the removal of waste in the physical body, operating in the genitals, lower intestine, colon, rectum, kidneys and bladder.

Aging does not start just with years; it begins with nutritional deficiency, intestinal problems, untended emotional and physical stress, and an inflexible spine that disrupts the flow of meridians and the rejuvenating flow of your spinal fluid.

Signs of an unhealthy or imbalanced Apana Vayu can range from laziness and dullness to confusion and indecisiveness.

Balancing the vayus through practicing yoga and meditation not only promotes physical strength, but also helps the practitioner move closer to their spiritual path.

YOGA PHILOSOPHY WORKSHOP

We will discuss the yoga sutras of Patanjali, diving deep into the 8-limbs of yoga (1. Yama · 2. Niyama · 3. Asana · 4. Pranayama · 5. Pratyahara · 6. Dharana · 7. Dhyana · 8. Samadhi)

INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION WORKSHOP

Includes 1, 2hr group session

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!

Understanding the interconnection of primary and secondary foods will propel you into a deeper state of awareness. You will achieve this through discussion, and will identify your Ayurvedic constitution, (a person's unique ratio of vata, pitta, and kapha), which is the blueprint to achieve optimal health. We will discuss how to incorporate certain herbs, foods, and food combinations to balance your dosha.

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION WORKSHOP (TRE-TRAINEE)

Includes 1, 1.5 hr group session

You will be taught and guided by a TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) Provider trainee. TRE is a set of movements that have been created by Dr. David Berceli about 30 years ago to release tension, stress, anxiety, and trauma from the body by triggering neurogenic tremors/pulsations/vibrations(a natural human response) to discharge stress from the body, releasing the fight/flight cycle that we didn't allow happen & is being stored in the body. Bringing yourself back to the rest/digest state, connecting to the triune brain to create a brain/body balance.

KAP (KUNDALINI ACTIVATION PROCESS) ENERGY WORK

Includes 1, 2.5 hr session

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 still 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: Kundalini Activation Process, is a direct energy transmission that opens and awakens the stagnant energy pathways within the human mechanism, resulting in a clearing of old blockages that have accumulated over lifetimes and manifested in various types of mental, emotional and physical restrictions.

This propulsion of life-force energy often brings an abundance of mental clarity, creativity, emotional healing and spiritual awakening as it allows us to uncover deeper layers of self and connect to our authentic truths through higher states of consciousness.

The KAP modality ignites this process in a safe and effective way, and once this process initiates, a profound rewiring of the brain structure and central nervous system begins and will continue, facilitating a deep growth and evolution of self that is so often unattainable via other methods.

SOUND HEALING THERAPY

Includes 1, 1.5hr session

• Stimulates a more efficient self healing process.
