Intro to Somatics with Emily

Saturday, December 2nd | 1:30-3:30 pm | $35 or $60/two people

 

Join this workshop to learn about somatics, how to work with and through the body to heal our trauma, conditioning, patterns, pains, and anything getting in our way of living the life we truly desire. We will discuss how through working with and through the body we can find wisdom, connection, and joy in our life.

We will look at how mental patterns, mindset, shapes we carry ourselves in, language, background, conditioning, and more affect us and our wellbeing. All of these show us how we are finding safety, connection, and belonging in the world. This class will discuss how we are currently doing these and explore ways in which we could find these things more in alignment with what we truly want, value, and care about. You will also be guided into your body to heal and find wisdom there.

Breathwork and Astrology w/ Amy and Lacey

Sunday, December 17th | 6-8 pm | $40 or $70/two people

Join Amy Kuretsky, from Constellation Acupuncture & Healing Arts, and  Lacey Prpić Hedtke, from The Future, for a special  astrology and group breathwork event at Yess Yoga. Breathwork is a powerful experiential tool and process that allows deep self-exploration and transformation. Breathwork uses only the power of our own breath with the support of music and a group dynamic to access a non-ordinary state of consciousness.  with an intentional breathing practice to go within into the deepest parts of ourselves and witness whatever we find there with love and compassion.

 

There’s significant power in coming together in a sacred container to breathe and open our hearts together as a group. This group dynamic allows you to care for yourself while you care for your community through group healing. Because this process can bring up intense emotions and strong physical experiences, please understand that issues arising from participation in Breathwork may require additional therapeutic or supportive interventions.If you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, have a recent TBI or history with seizures, retinal detachment, or any other significant health issue you’d like Amy to be aware of, please make this information known to her prior to your participation. As always, please feel empowered to discuss breathwork with your physician if you are concerned about participating for any reason.

This event will be split into three parts: time to discuss the current astrology, time to lay down and breathe together, and time after the breathing to share witness. No previous breathwork experience necessary. Wear comfy clothes, bring a yoga mat, an eye covering (mats and other props are also available onsite to borrow if needed!)

New Years Eve Day Immersion w/ Elisabeth and Michele

Sunday, December 31st | 2-4 pm | $50 or $90/two people

 

Join Elisabeth & Michele as we come together to share in conversation, movement, ritual, stillness, and sound to close out 2023 and welcome in the New Year.  We will begin with an understanding of  2024 astrology, shift into movement, and then settle into Yoga Nidra accompanied by sound (crystal bowls & soft gong). 

 
2024 will bring a new era! The outer planet of Pluto makes its final ingress into Aquarius  in February, where it will stay for next 20 years! Aquarius vibrations call for radical thinking, the integration of technology, and ultimately an evolved collective intelligence. In preparation for this transition, let’s engage the yoga principles of abhyāsaḥ (effort) and vairāgyābhyām (letting go) to ready our whole selves for the next evolutionary step.
