NEW MOON / NEW YEAR BREATHWORK
1/20 8pm est online
sliding scale

A group to welcome the new year with breath, in the early light of the first new moon. Part of the beauty of the moon is that it’s light is ever waxing and waning. A new moon offers the beautiful opportunity to begin again and here we are in a new year, beginning again. Let’s welcome the year with intention and breath.

Breathwork is an active meditation that by occupying the mind creates space for the body to release somatic holding, to experience emotion that might not be available at the surface and to access intuition and insight. This is your practice and I encourage everyone to breathe at a pace that feels right for you and to use this practice as a container of self holding, self listening and self care. Breathwork is a powerful and practical tool to work with your own energy, a bridge out of the critical mind and into deeper resources available to all of us.

We have a little over a month til we say goodbye to the year of the wood snake and hello to the fire horse. Even though that snake energy isn’t done with us yet, I can already feel the movement of the horse. It feels like a year of big shifts, I can already feel things getting set in motion. How about you? How are you feeling about going from wood snake to fire horse? Is the tone of your life changing?

My newsletter to close out the year just went out. If you’d like to join my mailing list (typically 1 email a month) there’s a link in my bio. Here’s what this one has to say about the element of water.

“We are in the liminality of water season. As external and yang as the fire element and summer are, winter is the yin polarity. I love this time for it’s invitation to tending, introspection and dreamscapes. If there was an anticapitalist season it’s winter, it’s mottos are slow down, do less, stop listening to the noise and listen to the deepest voices within yourself. The water that comes to mind for this season is the water of the ocean, think of the depth of the ocean, the brininess, salts and seaweeds, the blue/black color, the ears and what things sound like when you’re underwater, think of evolution and how we’re related to ocean animals, think of bones, your bones and how shells are like bones but also like ears. As I said, this is a time of liminality, a time to expand your lens and maybe even get a little weird. Weird the way dreams are weird, with timelines out of time and messages from the unconscious. What practices do you have or can you explore to expand your lens, to see without looking, to truly listen, to know in your bones? What calms your nervous system? Some ways I’m leaning into the weird waters of winter are; the rhythmic sound of drumming, slow stomping on the ground, baths with sea salt, miso soup with seaweed, candlelight and pockets of time with no agenda.”

BREATHWORK & YOGA NIDRA
8pm est 11/18 online group

Join for a yin yang pairing of Breathwork and Yoga Nidra. We’ll use the active breath practice to move energy, release what the body is holding and access the depths of ourselves. After the active practice yoga nidra allows us to integrate and restore the nervous system while also holding onto a body memory of intention. There will be an invitation to work with the idea of Sankulpa, a personal positive and transformational suggestion that will be integrated into both practices in a somatic way.

Breathwork is an active meditation that by occupying the mind creates space for the body to release somatic holding, to experience emotion that might not be available at the surface and to access intuition and insight. This is your practice and I encourage everyone to breathe at a pace that feels right for you and to use this practice as a container of self holding, self listening and self care. Breathwork is a powerful and practical tool to work with your own energy, a bridge out of the critical mind and into deeper resources available to all of us. After Breathwork sessions people usually leave saying they feel energized and lighter, however this is an active practice that brings up emotions and can bring up memories, if you are unsure if this practice is appropriate for you may want to check in with your doctor or therapist first and you are always welcome to reach out to me with further questions.

Yoga Nidra is sometimes called the yoga of rest. or yogic sleep. Through a guided body scan a liminal state of consciousness is attained, the state between consciousness and sleep. In this state the body is able to truly rest and restore and with the use of tools such as sankulpa and sensing opposites a rewiring of neural pathways and somatic holding can also unfold. Yoga nidra is a great tool for anyone experiencing periods of stress, inflammatory conditions, hormonal shifts such as menopause or insomnia. If you have any questions about yoga nidra please reach out.
