candlelight yoga & sound bath

“balance & integration” - wednesday, september 17th from 6 - 7:30 pm

These Candlelight Yoga & Sound Baths are each going to be special evenings designed to “tune-up” your mind, your body, and your spirit. The theme for September’s session will be “Balance & Integration.” As we enter the Fall season, it’s nice to pause, integrate, and balance the heat and energy of summer.

In this session, we’ll practice specific breathwork, sound yoga (humming and toning), gentle movement, and relax into guided imagery and relaxation in an immersive sound bath. All of these practices will not only be pointing you inward to align yourself with your inner light, they will support you to share your beautiful individuality! The sound bath will utilize different combinations of frosted crystal bowls, metal bowls, and percussion instruments along with with guided imagery and intention.

There will be some refreshments (Kin euphorics and a light snack) offered along with the Candlelight Yoga & Sound Bath.

Please bring your own yoga mat, blocks, blankets, and any other props you would like to use. Bring plenty of blankets for maximum comfort & coziness!

Pinewood Wedding & Event Center is located at 33262 Palm St NW, Cambridge, MN 55008.

Upcoming dates: Wednesday, September 17th

The price for this 1 1/2 hour class is $40.

ALL-ness workshops

We are all perfect, whole, and complete! But, sometimes, it feels like our perfect crystal gem of Self rolled down a mountain and got covered with mud, gum, and rubbish. Through the use of gentle asana, art, writing, toning/mantra, breath, and yoga nidra, we will wash away all the dross and allow our inner gems to shine through!

In the August 20th ALL-ness workshop, “Inner Sun and Self,” we will use the above variety of methods to explore this theme. “Inner Sun and Self” will be an exploration of not only how we shine and show up in all the facets of our being and in all of our roles, but also how we would like to shine and show up. Getting into the flow of our own solar energy builds our connection with our individual operating systems. It brings to light where we may have deviated from our own intentions/heartfelt desires and allows us to reconnect with them. There’s only one YOU - and that’s the one the world needs to see!

The entire 2-hour workshop is a guided self-study practice. Linking segments with breath and mindfulness practices along with poems or spoken word, you will not only gain a greater understanding of yourself, but you will be invited to celebrate yourself as the unique being that you are!

Accessible for every level, this workshop will be all about the ALL of you! No previous art, writing, singing, or yoga experience is required - just bring a sense of exploration and experimentation. Each workshop will focus on a monthly theme. Art and writing materials will be provided for you.

Please bring your own yoga mat and any blankets, blocks, or props you would like to use for the guided relaxation practice.

ALL-ness Workshops will be held at the Pinewood Wedding & Event Center in Cambridge from 6 - 8 pm.

Upcoming workshops: Wednesday, August 20th & Tuesday, October 14th

iRest© is a simple form of meditation designed for modern day living which helps you restore balance. It is a meditation practice based on the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra and adapted to suit the conditions of modern life. When practiced regularly - little and often - iRest enables you to meet each moment of your life with unshakable peace and wellbeing, no matter how challenging or difficult your situation.

iRest has historically been endorsed by the U.S. Army Surgeon General and recognized by the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury as a form of complementary and alternative medicine, thus warranting continuing research on its efficacy in the treatment of post- traumatic stress. iRest has been shown to be effective in scientific trials for conditions including chronic pain, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

iRest is simple to learn and easy to practice. It can be practiced by anyone, regardless of physical ability or experience with meditation. Once learned, iRest becomes a set of tools for life. To practice, you don’t need to do anything complicated - just find a comfortable place, either seated or lying down. You can follow any practice with your eyes open or gently closed.

iRest© co-meditation dyads are pair-based meditative practices. As your meditation partner, I will hold space for you and gently guide you with questions, impressions, and observations. You will be invited to sense into whatever is present and alive within you. You will journey into and through your feelings, thoughts, memories, and beliefs. I am present to reflect back to you and walk alongside you as you make your meditative journey. It is an amazing process in which your deep listening brings even deeper awareness and acceptance.

What it entails: In this 1-hour session, we will have an initial consultation/check-in followed by a discussion pertaining to what to expect from the session. Then, we’ll move into the co-meditative practice itself. After we close our meditative session, there will be time for transition, discussion, and any questions which may have arisen.

1-hour iRest© co-meditation dyads - $60

Reiki energy sessions are gentle and non-invasive. They promote deep relaxation, release stress & tension, and improve your overall sense of well-being. Reiki energy works on all levels of your being - physical, emotional, mental, and energetic. Reiki sessions can clear your energy field and balance your energy centers (chakras). Reiki supports your natural healing processes and as such is a great adjunct to any protocol.

“What happens when I book a Reiki Energy Session?” Once you book a session with me, I’ll have you fill out an intake form and we’ll discuss via email what you’d like to address for your session. We will talk about your intention for the session as well. I will let you know the time and date at which I will be doing your distance session. I will time it so that it is at a comfortable, restful time for you. After the session, I will send you a follow-up email with any insights or suggestions that may have come forward during the session.

“Do I have to DO anything for a distance Reiki Energy Session?” Nope! You get to simply sit back, enjoy the flow of energy, and rest in the practice.

1-hour Distance Reiki Energy Session: $60

4-pack of Distance Reiki Energy Sessions: $200
