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.

Join Russell Persson for a 90-minute workshop focusing on mindfulness meditation and present moment awareness. He welcomes anyone new to the practice of meditation as well as experienced practitioners. This workshop is designed to help participants experience the benefits of present moment awareness and cultivate, through guided and silent meditation, loving awareness and the refinement of our innate abilities for concentration and stillness.

The workshop will include:

• A short series of movements inspired by qigong to bring awareness to the physical body
• A guided meditation with focus on the breath to cultivate concentration and compassion and to begin to see, with precision, our distractions and addictive thought patterns
• Questions and discussion on our experience
• A brief walking meditation
• And a final silent meditation to end the workshop

AUGUST EVENTS

Working with the healing vibrations of crystal bowls, drums, chimes, gongs, vocals and more… Jen will support you in setting intentions for this upcoming New Moon in Leo and tuning you in to the frequencies of rebirth and renewal. The New Moon in Leo is a beautiful time to get in touch with self expression and what is truly in your heart. This is the energy we’ll be working with during this sound bath session. The sound healing instruments she uses work with your chakras (energy centers), helping to move a lot of energy quickly, clear any blockages, and help you release anything you’ve been holding onto that is no longer serving you.

Everything that exists is made of sound and vibration. Our bodies are 70% water, making them ideal conductors for transformative sound experiences. This New Moon in Leo Sound Bath will help release tension and stress. It will also open the door to enhanced intuition, improved immunity, better relationships, lower blood pressure, reduced stress hormones, stabilized moods, and better sleep. This powerful healing modality can create big changes in your life, and in a short amount of time.

Allow the gentle vibrations to wash away any tension and help you release negative energy. As you surrender to the harmonious sounds, you may experience a profound sense of clarity and inspiration, opening your mind to new possibilities and expansion.
