Cathartic Breathwork
First Fridays 6:30-8pm (1/3, 2/7, 3/7, 4/4, 5/2, 6/6) $30
We invite you to join us for this unique experience of breathing and feeling and letting go. We will work with a specific type of connected breathing that will give us the opportunity to process and integrate stuck emotions.
When we experience trauma in our lives, whether big or small, they are either processed or stored in the body. One way we limit feeling big feelings is to shut down areas of our breath. For example- holding your breath when you are upset. When we breathe fully, we touch in to the areas where we've stored emotions, so to not feel, we limit our breath. In this way, we avoid the pain, but we also limit our energy and experience of life. This breathing method gives us an opportunity to revisit those sore spots and feel the feelings so that we can move forward lighter and have more access to our full breathing capacity. We will breathe, cry and feel together in a safe and supportive environment.
Working with the breath has been a part of the Eastern tradition of yoga for a long time. The yogis understood that there is a direct connection between our breathing and our emotional/mental/physical well-being.
Please bring a pillow, blanket, water. You'll be lying down the entire time, so wear clothes you are comfortable in. This is not a yoga class so there will be no movement required.
This group session is not recommended for people who have heart problems, asthma or severe mental disorders. These special conditions would require a 1 on 1 environment with an experienced leader.
Restorative Yoga
First Thursdays 7:30-8:30pm (1/2, 2/6, 3/6, 4/3, 5/1, 6/5)
Restorative yoga is a gentle, meditative form of yoga that focuses on relaxation and comfort rather than strength or flexibility. You can purchase a drop in or use your regular package to attend.
Goal: To reduce stress, promote healing, and build a sense of inner peace.
Practice: Involves holding a poses for 3–10 minutes with the help of props like blocks, bolsters, or blankets.
Focus: On breathing deeply, decompressing tense areas, and cultivating a connection between your brain, breath, and body.
Benefits: Can help with anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and other stress-related conditions.
Here are some other characteristics of restorative yoga:
Comfortable: Restorative yoga is designed to be comfortable and supported, with as little physical effort as possible.
Meditative: Restorative yoga is a very meditative practice that can help you sink into your body and clear your mind.
Active relaxation: Restorative yoga can be thought of as active relaxation because you're encouraged to stay in the present moment and let your body remain still.
Music: Soft sounds or melodic background music to help you relax.

Yoga Nidra:
6 Week Series
Mondays 7-7:35pm (1/6, 1/13, 1/20, 1/27, 2/3, 2/10) $36
Yoga Nidra literally means yogic sleep, an ancient technique where the practitioner enters the deep state of conscious relaxation. It is a systematic practice of moving awareness from our external world to the inner world.
Yoga Nidra can be practiced by anyone. It holds immense benefits for those who struggle to let go, those who suffer from lack of sleep, trauma, burn-out, and anxiety. It is also highly beneficial and holds great healing power for anyone who wants to experience a deeper sense of peace and re-connect more profoundly with themselves. The practice of Yoga Nidra leads us into a state of harmonious, restful being. From here, we can heal, restore and awaken to our true, blissful and eternal Self. This sublime practice is gaining popularity all over the world as more and more people experience its healing powers while ongoing research continues to prove its effectiveness.
A recent study showed that while meditation and Yoga Nidra were both effective in reducing anxiety and stress, Yoga Nidra seemed to be more effective in reducing anxiety. The study also suggested that Yoga Nidra can be a useful tool in reducing both cognitive and physiological symptoms of anxiety.
We will be lying down the entire time. We have a limited amount of props for your use including yoga mats, bolsters and blankets but feel free to bring your own if you like. You might also bring a pillow if that will make you more comfortable. Dress in clothing that won't make you uncomfortable and wear layers to accommodate for the temperature of the room.
