Tension Taming for a Happy Head and Neck with Tricia Kull

Sunday, May 3rd

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST | In Person Only | Cost: $45

Yoga Eagle Pose

Join us for this two hour Fascial Release workshop with Tricia Kull:

Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and organs. When it’s healthy, fascia allows your muscles and other tissues to slide and glide as you move, but when your fascia gets tight and stuck, it can restrict your movement and cause tension and pain.  

In this workshop, we will use tools, simple techniques, and yoga poses to help release tension held in the fascia of the upper body.  This practice will help you to find more space, calm, and ease in your head and neck.

 

Props will be provided. No experience necessary. This is in person ONLY.

This workshop is a gentle invitation to honor and connect with the nurturing, creative, and powerful essence of the Divine Mother, the universal energy of care, intuition, and unconditional love that lives within and around all of us.

In our workshop, we will use contemplation, meditation,
pranayama and asana to celebrate this most primordial
relationship in our own hearts.

This workshop is open to all with some experience in asana. As we celebrate the Divine Mother, we encourage you to celebrate yourself if you're a mother, celebrate your own mother, or those strong mothers in your lives as well. We also encourage you to provide extra love if you're experience grief today as well.

1:30 pm - 2:00 pm EST | In Person Only | Cost: FREE!

cropped.jpg

“Shinrin yoku,” “Forest Bathing,” “Nature Therapy,” “Outdoor Mindfulness,” many terms to describe a rather simple thing: time spent in nature is healing and restorative. Come learn why and be introduced to a few simple practices that might serve to inspire and deepen your own
nature-based wellness routine.

 

You’ll learn the science behind forest bathing, its origins in 1990’s Japan, and the ways it is being used in the United States today. Whether you spend hours a week outdoors or can’t remember the last time you sat under a tree, this session will offer new ways of thinking about your relationship with nature and with the more than human world.

Join Susan West Montgomery, a Kripalu-certified Outdoor Mindfulness Guide for this free intro session ahead of the summer mindfulness sessions.

The Power of Posture: Unlocking Balance and Ease (Fri, 6/12)

Posture isn’t fixed—it’s fluid. It ebbs and flows, always seeking balance with gravity.
Standing well is a dynamic interplay of opposing forces.

  • Your bones hold you up.

  • Your muscles move you.

  • Your nervous system tells the muscles how to move the bones.

When your bones are aligned, your nervous system can relax—and let’s be honest, most of us could use a little more relaxation (if not a lot).

Alignment gives your muscles a break. Instead of working overtime to support misaligned bones, they’re free to do what they’re meant to do: move you with ease.
Aligning your bones is one of the simplest—and most powerful—ways to support graceful aging. It lets your nerves flow freely and helps your whole body function more efficiently.

Improving your posture is like switching from regular to premium fuel. You’re still the same car, but your performance gets a serious upgrade.

It’s not hard to change your posture—but it’s not something we tend to do naturally.
This workshop will teach you simple, lasting shifts that go a long way.

Pain Free: The Power Of Walking Well (Sat, 6/13)
We all walk—but few of us ever stop to consider how we walk, or whether it’s contributing to pain we’ve learned to live with.


What if changing the way you walk could relieve years of chronic discomfort?
In this workshop, you’ll learn a natural walking technique that helps align your bones, free your joints, and reduce overworked muscles. When the body moves as it was designed to, movement becomes easier, more efficient, and far less painful.

Using CoreWalking techniques, you’ll discover how to bring your body into a balanced, individualized state of healing—step by step.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

  • Boost energy and reduce muscle fatigue

  • Ease lower back pain and joint discomfort

  • Build core strength with every step

  • Support a healthier, more resilient stress response

 

If you’re ready to walk your way toward better health, join me for this essential workshop ….

Psoas Release Party! (Sun, Jun 14)
A free and balanced psoas allows your body to move with efficiency, ease, and minimal strain. As the body’s primary hip flexor, the psoas plays a vital role in walking, standing, and even how we process pain and trauma. When the body can’t fully process stress or energy in the moment, it often stores it in the psoas—leading to chronic tension, hip and lower-back pain, joint discomfort, and a nervous system stuck on high alert.

If you’ve been dealing with pain that no one seems able to diagnose—and you keep hearing “nothing is wrong”—your psoas may be the missing link.

In this live workshop, you’ll learn how to align, use, and release your psoas through simple, mostly effortless techniques designed to restore balance, relieve pain, and support healthy, graceful aging. Expect clear insight, practical tools, and a deep sense of ease in your hips, pelvis, and lower back.

Summer Solstice Mindfulness Walk with Susan West Montgomery

Sunday, June 21st

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm EST | In Person Only | Cost: $40

Image by Klara Kulikova

Honor the Summer Equinox and you own changing seasons with an immersive guided walk in the tradition of Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing. Through mindfulness we will be present to the landscape and all its sights, sounds, smells, and feels. We will give ourselves permission to slow down, to be curious, and access the healing qualities of nature.

Each excursion is approximately 90-minutes long and includes warm-ups, centering, and breathing exercises to allow for a transition from the day-to-day to an immersive
experience in the landscape. This is followed by a walk and an extended sit. We conclude with a returning ritual, a chance to reflect on the experience and understand
how the practice can be used in daily life. This time in nature will not be strenuous; all skill levels and most abilities can be accommodated.

A Gateway to Healing.

 

Conscious Connected Breath, CCB, is a powerful breath pattern that brings consciousness to the breath, creating space in the body and the psyche for deep healing. CCB is a modern, activating breathwork technique that involves an open mouthed inhale and exhale that is connected so that there is never a pause and is set to music. It is also known as circular breathing as the inhale and the exhale remain steady and rhythmic.

 

In this class we will learn about of the history of CCB, the affect on the body and the nervous system and participants will be lead in a breathwork journey.

About the instructor: 

Meghan McCleary is a trauma informed Breathwork Facilitator trained through a 450 hour accredited program certified by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance (GPBA) which reflects the highest professional standards in breath-work training and education.


She utilizes the breath, Reiki, nervous system regulation and parts work to help guide clients on the journey of self-reclaimation. Her “resume” includes healing from over a decade of chronic illness and c-PTSD from severe child trauma. She approaches this work with deep compassion and curiosity with the understanding that healing is a journey not an end goal.
