Join Jen and Mike for an evening of devotional Kirtan chanting! No experience necessary.
What is Kirtan? Kirtan is the Yoga of Devotion (Bhakti Yoga). Derived from a Sanskrit root meaning to call, recite, praise, or glorify. Put simply, kirtan is the act of praising and glorifying the Divine. (this is not a dogmatic practice, all faiths and beliefs are welcome).
Why Practice Kirtan? Chanting Kirtan is a devotional practice that helps to uplift the mind, open the heart and bring inner peace. It is the fastest, easiest and most joyful way to achieve peace of mind. The mantras are mystical universal sounds that resonate with our chakras and remove negative energies.
All are welcome, and again…no singing experience necessary! Just bring your beautiful self. This is a donation based event, but PLEASE RSVP as space is limited!
Grief Yoga ®
for Families, Individuals, and Kids
with Dr. Juanita Chapman, MFT, LCADC, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, RYT 500
Sunday, January 26,
9:30 am – 11:00 am
The Yoga Center Reno
Workshop Cost: Donation-based
Please pre-register: email Juanitasyoga@outlook.com
Payment options: Venmo or cash
Please note: Participants should bring a journal and something with which to write. Participants are also invited to bring their own water (in a container with a closed top to avoid spills.)
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Grief yoga combines many different forms of yoga, breath techniques and movements to help students process grief, trauma, losses, and other stuck emotions to use them as fuel for transformative healing. This process is not about physical flexibility, it embodies emotional liberation. Classes begin with students becoming aware of the present moment and where they hold struggle and pain in their bodies and minds. We then create a safe place to express and release their struggles through movement, breath, and sound. Next we incorporate flowing moving mediations to open the heart, perhaps some laughter exercises to tap into joy and dancing movements that connect to the soul. In the final part of class, students will be moved to surrender and let go of the pain to reconnect to love and the gift of life.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Dr. Juanita Chapman – licensed MFT and LCADC, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, RYT 500
One of the main reasons I became a therapist was it provided me the freedom to talk openly about emotions, and death, somethings which were taboo in my family. In my years of practice, I have discovered that this lack of emotional validation resonates with a huge portion of my clients. When I began practicing yoga, I stumbled into the added benefit of the practice releasing emotions. I wondered if there might be some way to bring yoga and those who don’t normally practice yoga but struggle with grief and other difficult emotions, together. Then, I found Grief Yoga ®. It was so impactful that I decided to become a teacher. A Grief Yoga ® class is a safe place to release those stuck old emotional wounds and process grief in a healthy and fun way. I hope you will join me to experience this for yourself.
