LET GO OF CONTROL AND SURRENDER

It is estimated that 1 in 4 people suffer from insomnia and that many more experience anxiety on a regular basis. In our society; full of deadlines, constant external stimulation and an incessant pressure to succeed, it is no wonder that so many of us struggle to quiet our minds & our bodies.

Our adrenal systems are stressed to their max and our nervous systems are working overtime to keep us going. It's like a yoga date night with yourself.

Through calming breath-work, deep and relaxing poses, you will learn to unwind in a natural and effective way. We will end the practice with Yoga Nidra, a yogic technique, is guided meditation usually practiced while reclining. This meditative technique focuses on effortless receptivity and deep ease for profound relaxation and healing.

Restorative yoga is a gentle method to relax the nervous system. It helps us “practice rest”—a skill many of us have forgotten.

Qi Gong is a form of “moving meditation”, helping to transform stress and tension in a creative way.

Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic practice that continues to deliver its time-tested results in the modern world. Beyond empirical evidence, researchers have found that acupuncture activates the body-mind connection as points placed in traditional locations send signals to the brain that prompt a cascade of chemical messengers. The result? Pain relief via endogenous opioids and a nervous system switch to the parasympathetic, healing state.

Gentle Restorative Yoga & Meditation

So many of us give care generously to our families, our loved ones, and our clients, without taking time to give care generously to ourselves.

We invite you to gift yourself two hours of gentle, restorative yoga and meditation to connect with your breath, care for your body, and recharge your whole system so that you can show up energized with continued generosity for others. All parents and care-takers are welcome.
