Core Catalyst

Dive deep with us into "Core Catalyst: A 360° Exploration of Inner Power," a journey that's all about unlocking the true potential of your core, far beyond the quest for the perfect six-pack. This workshop is your invitation to explore the real magic of core strength – it's the foundation that supports every inversion, the power behind every arm balance, and the guardian of your spine, all wrapped up in one. With a mix of dynamic asanas, mindful breathwork, and a little bit of bandha magic (hello, mula and uddiyana!), we're going to take a holistic dive into what makes your core tick, feeling it out from every angle and discovering how it supports your entire yoga practice.
Forget everything you thought you knew about "core work." This isn't about endless crunches or superficial gains; it's about tapping into the deep reservoir of strength that lies within you, improving your posture, and bringing a new level of resilience to your practice. As we flow through sequences that light up your core, you'll see how this central strength is key to your balance, your breath, and your ability to move with intention and integrity. Whether you're here to amp up your practice, level up your game in other sports, or just get really intimate with your inner power, "Core Catalyst" is where you want to be. All are welcome – from the yoga-curious to the seasoned practitioner – to join in and discover the core's critical role in our practice and in living our most vibrant lives.

We will tap into that intuitive sense of knowing; how and when to move and when to be still.

The Way of The Hammock ~ $$

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.

Liberate Your Voice ~ A Sacred Sound Meditation Ceremony

Discover the profound power of your own voice as a healing modality and surrender into a blissful state of peace in a reiki-infused crystal alchemy sound bath.

It’s very easy to find yourself running on autopilot in day-to-day life. Feeling stuck in an anxious and reactive state that keeps you playing small, disempowered in your sense of Self. When you lose that connection with the sacred spirit of Self, it can be difficult to speak your needs and wants to others, or even admit what you truly desire to yourself.
By activating your own voice with intention in a ceremonial space, your spirit wakes up within the physical body, creating a portal for your unlimited human potential to shine through.

In this 90-minute ceremonial workshop, you’ll be guided through a journey of vocalization for opening up your energy channels to increase vitality and magnetism while deepening your understanding of your innate authentic power.

This one-of-a kind ceremony will include:

· An overview of the science behind vocalization and sacred sounds, and how these frequencies affect your brain and nervous system
· Light breathwork into an intention-setting meditation
· Vocal toning to clear the energy centers and activate the energetic channels in the body
· A guided melody meditation designed to raise the frequency of your intentions and amplify your personal power
· A reiki-infused crystal alchemy sound bath to relax, rejuvenate, and anchor your newly energetic state in the body as you go back out in the world

The resonance of your own voice is the most powerful healing sound in the universe. Come experience the wonder and expansiveness on a sonic journey that guides you home to the sanctuary within.

Deeps Roots & Radiant Fruits

Concealed within our DNA resides the seed that contains everything we need. Together we will nurture and tend to its flourishing, through a practice of yoga asana, meditation, and Yoga Nidra, sequentially opening and centering the body, stabilizing the nervous system, liberating the shoulders and hips, while also supporting increased flow of energy throughout your body.
Focusing on the inspiring metaphor of the tended seed and the nascent tree, we will embody the simple teaching that reminds us that we already contain limitless potential within us. Come connect to yourself and Nature and leave feeling grounded in your body, and in your life, so that you can thrive and generate majestic fruits.
