Classes & Workshops
Yin Yoga & Sound
August 21st
6-8pm
Join myself and fellow sound practitioners Kirk Jones, and Lily Carter for this nourishing outdoor offering at the Burlington Surf Club.
While living within a culture that is yang dominant, Yin is, in my opinion, a supportive and necessary practice for our bodies and nervous systems.
This series is an invitation to slow down and return to presence so that you can continue to enjoy the magic of this season with perhaps a bit more intention and at a pace that feels supportive for you.
Yin yoga is a slow practice that invites us to find stillness in supported shapes with the help of props. Because these offerings are held outdoors and props may not always be available, some gentle movement will be incorporated as well. There will be a focus on breath as we practice bringing awareness into our bodies and learn to notice and navigate the felt sensations that arise.
While resting in certain shapes, you will have the option to receive healing vibration from tuning forks placed on the body. The vibrational frequency of each fork invites softness into the nervous system, helping to relax the muscles and ease tension.
This offering will have some sound woven throughout the practice and will conclude with a 30 minute immersive sound bath as you rest completely.
We will move indoors if it rains.
Reiki & Restorative
September 11
6-8pm
At Laughing River Yoga
An invitation to consciously rest and fill your own inner reservoir.
Join us for this replenishing two hour offering.
Restorative yoga invites you to simply rest and be. The props support the physical body in gently unfurling throughout each shape and breath. Releasing tension and unconscious habitual gripping in the body. The intention with this is that the nervous system begins to regulate, turning on our parasympathetic nervous system that tells the body its safe to rest.
While in shapes I will come around and offer reiki to each person. Reiki is an ancient modality that came from Japan. It encourages relaxation and supports the natural flow of energy within the body. It helps to clear density and restore balance, creating space for ease.
This offering will close with an extended savasana and sound bath, using crystal bowls and various other instruments, allowing the body to fully integrate and simply be.
Together, these practices offer a powerful yet gentle experience that nurtures the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic layers of being.
Embodied Resonance
An extended practice with mantra, meditation, and movement.
October 10th
12-1:30pm
At Laughing River Yoga
Join us for an extended 90 minute practice exploring the intersection of movement, breath, vibration, and stillness. Weaving in the teachings of non-dual Śaiva tantra, we'll practice yoga, pranayama, meditation, and chanting as an invitation to reconnect with your own embodied presence and inner resonance.
