Join Lauren for a special 2-hour Friday night Soul Flow!
In this special class you will have time and space to move through a creative, deep and nurturing flow with plenty of time for a long Savasana and meditation. By creating space in the body through movement and breath, we invite in more spontaneous moments of insight, awe and gratitude to shine forth. This is an extended practice of exploration and embodiment, meant to nurture and inspire you from the inside out.
Imagine laying on your back, bathed in healing crystals, blanketed in ambient music, and essential oils. Crystals vibrate at specific frequencies, which correlate with the seven energetic centers, or Chakras, of our bodies.
In this workshop will be working towards finding an inner sense of pure bliss charged by the vibrational medicine of the Earth corresponding with each Chakra. We will match the stones with these energy centers on the body, and spend some time focusing on the healing qualities of each stone in tandem with each energetic center from Root to Crown.
The session will begin with handling and understanding the crystals and their meanings, after which we do a seated meditation, with gentle movement, while chanting the seed sounds (Bijas) for each Chakra. The workshop will end with a long meditative Crystal-Coated-Savasana, covered in crystals to correspond with each chakra.
BONUS! Each participant will be able to take home one crystal from their set – which ever charka they felt most connected to.
Our bodies remember absolutely everything that happens to us. It stores emotional, physically, and spiritual experiences in the very fibers of our being whether we like them or not. Through a mixture of deeply held Yin postures, mindful flow that helps to move stagnant energy or Qi, and specifically applied pressure along our fascia (the connective tissue between our muscles and our skin that support, contains, and holds together the structure our bodies) we can release, realign, and restore a sense of balance in our muscles and skeletal systems from our joints to our neuromuscular efficiency. Especially after a long week of work, our bodies are naturally calling out for a deep need to Unwind + Align.
Please join Paula for an evening of Yinyasa + Myofascial Release, designed to physically put pressure on and relieve any “stuck” areas of the body with the help of tennis balls and rollers within specific Yoga poses and flowing sequences. You can expect to leave feeling completely renewed and recharged by your body’s capacity to nourish and heal itself.
