Love♡Shine♡Play Festival 2024

This immersion is for those that want an intimate experience with the aerial hammock as well as those that have an interest in meeting their next best friend (Hammock and/or Human). If you want to learn about yourself and how you move in the world this is the place for you. If aerial yoga is the movement practice you want to know more about, join me.

What if your life and all Earth life depends on the way you move physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually? What if choosing to become Somatically and Soul aware is the greatest gift you can give yourself and our planet? What if your life matters more than you can imagine, in these uncertain times?

At this moment within our ecological and cultural time, finding beauty and joy can be elusive. What type of practice, and in this case movement, will make a difference during times of challenge and times of peace? Join me for some play and some reflection.

This immersion into Radical Movement (your unique authentic movement) and Radical Joy (your enduring radiance) begins to explore these questions and more as we move together. When you move we move. When you move we may begin to discover together, what type of movement is possible in and out of the aerial yoga hammock.

The aerial hammock primes your awareness through somatic movement in play, heart openness, twisting, inverting perception, and cocoon-like holding. Guided aerial yoga postures and other prompts will bring awareness to the ways your unique authentic movement informs the choices you make at a personal level, within your community, and in the world at large.

Pairing the aerial hammock with your unique and authentic movement is sure to reveal the gifts we all need in uncertain times. Pairing hammock movement with reflection and imagination exercises we will write, draw, and express the gifts we all need in uncertain times. While we may walk away from this immersion with more questions than answers, consider becoming a seed that renews and rejoices in a life that matters and in lives that matter. Come ready to move, to explore, to be in community.

Are you the one that will attend?
Building partnership happens as we move together.
Join me in building personal awareness.
Join me in building community.
If community regenerates you, find yourself here.

I can’t wait to meet you!

Style: Aerial Yoga that is Hatha Informed w/ Guided Imagination & Dialogue

A note about Class Space and Configuration:

Because this practice is unique in its approach and set up, I’m inviting you to participate within an individual and partnered setting. With one anchor as a common rigging framework, I’ll be adding a second anchor point to accommodate another person. Each rig will support two participants. The mobile aerial rigs are designed to accommodate up to 1,000 lbs of dynamic weight load which means you and your fellow yogi/yogini will feel supported in this two anchor configuration. Each person will have their own aerial hammock. For inversions and other suspended postures each person will take turns in their hammock to ensure safety.

No aerial yoga or yoga experience is necessary to participate in this immersion.

If you enroll in this immersion additional information will be provided prior to our gathering about the way of the aerial yoga hammock, what to wear, what to prepare for and what to expect.

Introducing the language of aerial yoga, this practice builds strength, increases flexibility and opens the doors to creativity and play.The aerial hammock is a looped fabric that is suspended from an anchor point above. The purpose of the aerial yoga hammock is to act as a supportive prop for the safe entrance/ exit into a variety of postures as well as a prop for changing posture accessibility.

Postures found in traditional Hatha Yoga provide the foundation for forward folds, arm balances, twists, standing balances, inversions, and reclined positions the hammock assists. Progressing through a variety of aerial yoga postures where the hammock becomes a partner in assisting body and breath movement, this practice deepens stretches, elongates muscles, opens the heart, decompresses the spine, and rejuvenates the Soul.

Discovering the Way of the Hammock, brings alternate ways of expressing and experiencing the body-breath-soul connection. The benefits to this practice go beyond body function reaching into the depths of psychological well-being and resilience. Come play with me!

No aerial yoga experience necessary.

Explored as a “power” practice, Rooting to Rise Up sees the aerial yoga hammock as a platform for invigorating postures that activate the core. The core of the body and its interaction with the breath becomes the place where strength and vulnerability come together. Through a series of postures, rooting to our centers in and out of the hammock will encourage personal growth. Rising up comes as postures reach for what is possible in the air. Rooting and Rising Up is about finding love in the air and bringing expansion to who and what we stand for. No aerial yoga experience necessary.

Delve deeper into the way the hammock can enhance passive and active postures that restore the body. A slow flow into a range of motion and postures, this class is designed to maximize the therapeutic effects of the aerial hammock as an assist. The hammock helps decompress the spine and reduce stress and pain. The integration between surrendering and softening and active restoration will move you towards self-awareness and self-healing.

Sealing our practice with an extra-long and well-deserved floating Savasana, this class is crafted to relax and restore you so that you can return to your day more alert, more creative, with greater clarity and less stress. Let the breath flow.

Aaahhh…No aerial yoga experience necessary.

Inversions become accessible in this practice as the aerial yoga hammock safely suspends your body. Defying the confines of gravity, arm balances, forward folds, and inverted poses take on new meaning. The possibility of holding inversions longer, anchoring in alignment, and exploring the ways air opens the door to previously unattainable postures, is what makes this practice playful and fascinating.

Practice your yoga in the air to move freely, release fear, and float into a deeper understanding of your well-being as the blood reverses itself. Improve circulation, traction the spine, detoxify and increase immunity, and shift your energy with this practice. See the world from a shifted perspective and feel held in its infinite potential.
