Recharge and restore balance with a gentle yoga practice and an immersive sound bath meditation. We’ll first release tension and cultivate body, breath, and energy awareness through slow, mindful yoga. Modifications will be offered to ensure the practice is accessible to students of all levels. You will then settle into a restorative pose and let the healing sound waves of crystal bowls, koshi chimes, and an ocean wave drum wash over and through you. These sound waves and vibrations will soothe the nervous system, ushering you into a state of deep relaxation, which will help you release energy blockages and allow the body to do the deep work of healing.

Let’s gather and prepare to bloom with new growth into this lush season with a mini yin reiki retreat geared to nourish your internal landscape and systems. We will work with the element of fire to purify the stagnant energy from the last cycle to create space and clarity for our visions and intentions.

Our time together will include:

• a fresh yin sequence

• rejuvenative reiki

• soothing and cleansing breathwork

• simple snacks and refreshments during our break

Bring your journal to record any insights or messages received during your time within your emotional interior. Lastly, we’d love to invite you to bring a small item or two (nature item, crystal, picture or other treasured memento) to add to the Spring altar that we will be constructing as a community. This collective offering will signify our intentions and heartfelt desires as we cross the threshold into this new chapter.

We hope to see you there.
Spring blessings and gifts to you all!

What is Yin Yoga?
Yin is a yoga style that evolved from the Taoist yoga lineage. All together, there are 26 and each is held for 3-5 minutes each. Each pose focuses on flushing out different meridians, the same energy channels used in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Yin is an active practice (unlike a restorative flow), and it can be very effective in releasing on all three levels of your body; physically, mentally and emotionally. It is mostly a floor based practice that actually allows you to let go of your muscles, which results in a palpable cleansing sensation of the fascia.

This is the medicine and the magic of Yin.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a technique of physical, emotional and energy healing, and had its origin in Japan. This modality aims to help energy flow and remove blockages in a similar way to

acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy around the body can allow relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of physical and mental illnesses.

During the workshop participants will receive Reiki in all their main 7 Chakras while doing the Yin yoga poses. The combination of those two practices (Yin yoga and Reiki) will create space in your physical body, nourish your nervous system, promote balanced energy, encourage deep relaxation and increase your ability to cope with stress. It is our hope that this workshop will provide a powerful and deep experience of energy healing for the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies.
