IN STUDIO MONDAY NIGHT 4-WEEK SUMMER RESET BEGINS Monday, August 8th at 7.15pm COME TO INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OR SIGN UP FOR THE WHOLE SERIES!! Summer is the time when the earth is in full bloom, and we are meant to tap into the blissful energy of our own joyous heart! It is the time to celebrate heightened activity, abundance, expansion, and connection. Join 500E-RYT, Tier 3 Certified Baptiste Teacher, and Certified Yin Yoga teacher Shelby Caffrey for this 4-week exploration of summer seasonal health and wellness.
Week #1: Summer is the “Yang” time of year and is associated with the element of fire and the heart meridian. We will stoke the flames of this summer heat with a fire-building back bending vinyasa practice that will open the physical and energetic channels of the heart and chest as well as increase range of motion in the spine. Please bring your yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks and a strap.
Week #2: The fire element of summer empowers us to experience inspiration and expression, and connect to compassion, love, and joy. To nourish the fire element, we will practice Yin Yoga targeting the heart meridian to open up the energy of loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Please bring your yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, a blanket, and a bolster or pillow.
Week #3: Restoration is an important and powerful aspect of health and wellness. We will turn the flames of summer down with a balancing and cooling Restorative Yoga practice while being guided with affirmations towards loving kindness. The practice will close with a 30-minute savasana with Yoga Nidra. Please bring your yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, a blanket, and a bolster or pillow.
Week #4: Summer season is the time to connect with the world around us through an open and loving heart. In this meditation practice we will learn techniques that lead us to compassion and acceptance. We will begin with gentle asana to prepare the body and mind for meditation, and then we will practice Metta. In Metta Meditation, we direct loving kindness toward ourselves and then, in a sequence of expansion, towards all beings everywhere without distinction. Please bring your yoga mat and whatever you need to be comfortable in meditation

FRIDAY NIGHT - RESTORATIVE PRACTICE WITH REIKI FRIDAY, AUGUST 19TH AT 7PM Join 200-RYT, Reiki Master, Reflexologist, Nutritional Health Coach and Tier 1 Baptiste Teacher Linda Principato for a restorative practice with Reiki. Restorative Yoga is a passive practice of deep relaxation, designed to release tension, lower the stress response, and heighten the relaxation response. Supported poses are held for a longer duration to balance the nervous system and allow energies to flow freely. Reiki is pure Universal Healing Energy channeled through an attuned practitioner via light touch (or distance) to a receptive person. Savasana is a perfect time to receive Reiki while the body and mind are deeply relaxed and receptive. Reiki is harmless and always offered with pure intentions. It is never imposed, and naturally flows to where it’s most needed. If you do not want to receive Reiki, that is perfectly fine. Cost is $30. If you have current pricing option (monthly, 2 months, class card, new visitor or welcome back) - Cost is $15. If you are 5BPY VIP, Gold or Silver Member or are enrolled in the Summer Challenge - Cost is $10.
In this training, you will learn about the history of Reiki, being a channel for Reiki energy, hand positions for self-healing and full body treatments, Reiki and the seven Chakras, Reiki for kids, animals, plants, food, water and more. You will receive Restorative Yoga practice with Reiki, the traditional Usui Reiki Level 1 attunements, a complete Usui Level 1 course manual, a personalized Usui Level 1 Reiki certificate, and hands-on Reiki practice exchange. TRAINING IS OPEN TO ALL!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A YOGA TEACHER TO ATTEND THIS TRAINING! Cost is $299. Refresher $99 if you're already Level 1 attuned. 10% discount to 5BPY VIP, Gold & Silver Members.
