About the event
Join me for this Full Day Immersive Experience during which I will share:
Unique pranayama practices and meditations to draw Prana (energy) into the heart and lungs.  We will explore together, the meaning of "The Lotus of the Heart" and I will share excercises and journeling prompts that will invite us to look deeper into the depths and layers of our hearts .  We will connect intimately, in conversation and through compassion practices that will begin to  open our hearts to love and compassion for all others.  Â
During this retreat,  I will also offer 2 yoga asana practices.   The first practice, early in the day, will be a gentle restorative movement practice assisted by props.  This nuturing practice focuses on relaxing the active mind & soothing the nervous system through potent breathing techniques & visualization meditation  in order to allow you to connect to your intuition the whispers of your heart.  During the second half of the day, after a light, mourishing lunch,  you will be invited in dance as well as another Yoga asana practice, this time to energize and throw open the doors of the heart.  On a physical level, this practice will assist in drawing prana (energy) into the heart and lumgs by creating space and easeful movent in the chest, shoulders, and upper back while also developing strength and support in the abdomen and lumbar spine.  Â
The day will end with a nourishing Sound Bath offered by my friends, Melissa and Aaron Kelly at the helm. Â We will close together in ceremony to honor eachother and what we culitvated together along the way during this full day immersion into our hearts. Â We will together, create actionable ways to continue cultivating heart awareness and energy into out lives and out in the world. Â
