This treasure chest of ancient wisdom contains the knowledge of yoga, breathwork, meditation, food as medicine, aromatherapy, body therapies, sound therapy, energy healing and herbal medicine and many other ways to restore balance within and around us.

In today’s modern society and world, many people associate yoga primarily with physical fitness; and, although yoga asana can offer many amazing health benefits to the physical body, this is just the beginning of the countless benefits a yogic lifestyle brigs to those who practice. The eight limbs of yoga, which first appeared around 250 BC in the book The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, beautifully outline specific directives on how to live an abundant and meaningful life. In this immersive workshop & discussion, we will define and outline each of the 8 Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, including the Yamas and Niyamas. As a group, we will discuss how these ancient directives apply to our modern world and how, when practiced, can transform and deepen our individual lives tremendously. Finally, participants will be given practical and useful daily tools to help them implement and practice the 8 limbs of yoga.

In this class, you will be guided through a relaxing meditation with the sounds of the alchemy singing bowls to bring you back to your natural state of being, where you can experience inner peace, bliss, and pure unconditional love.

As I guide you on a relaxation meditation, your body and mind will naturally relax and surrender to the crystalline sounds, taking your brain to a theta brain wave (deep state of relaxation, meditation and healing). During the entire journey, the sounds of my alchemy singing bowls will open the gateways for connection to your Higher Self.

Sound bath is the easiest form of meditation, where you will journey with the soothing sounds of the singing bowls to calm down your thoughts, relax your body, unlock blockages, release trauma and bring you back to your inner peace.

BILINGUAL WORKSHOP: ENGLISH AND SPANISH   Own your story, own your voice is a workshop where we will be exploring the connections between vulnerability, our unique voices, and building confidence. Our story is directly linked to owning who we are as a whole, with both the shadow and the light. All of it makes us who we are and we are loved and worthy as a whole. This principle will guide the experience.

This is intended to be a mindset AND somatic experience. Rooting this exploration in our bodies.

The workshop has four parts. In part I, we will begin with a gentle exploration and discussion around the questions:

What is “one’s story”?
What is vulnerability to each of us?
Is there a connection between vulnerability and our own story?

In part II we’ll explore our stories or narratives about ourselves through a light/shadow work:

What are the parts of you that you put in the light? What are those that you put in the shadows? The spoiler alert here is that our shadows are sources of great inner power and can make our voices raise louder.

In part III we will practice giving a voice to all those parts of ourselves, trying out different voices. Through this exercise we’ll release some of the emotional charge attached to this narratives. At the end of this practice we will cool down, coming down to our bodies, using movement to re-ground.

Finally, in part IV we’ll do a free writing exercise with the intention of integrating the aftermath of the experience. Participants will then be guided to write down a statement through which they chose one of their shadow/growth opportunities and turn it into a power affirmation for themselves, bring it to light.

I want to teach people what mala beads are and how they can assist a mindfulness meditation practice. In particular, I want to explore how to incorporate mala beads into breathing meditation and how mala beads can help people with different forms of neurodivergences – ADHD, ASD, SPD, and other forms of neurodivergence – to deepen their meditation practice. Mindfulness meditation is essentially about training the mind to rest in non-attachment. By focusing on the breath, we observe our perceptions, feelings, and thoughts as they arise and faid away, but continued focus on the breath can often be a struggle. Introducing mala beads can further help center the observing mind during meditation, helping the meditator to remain in a place of non-attachment.

An upbeat, vinyasa flow focused on the hips and opening up the heart. Move with your breath in these deep stretches, back bends and sequences that build heat and are both invigorating and FUN. All to the beat of your favorite hip-hop and R&B tracks. Warning: playlist might have you busting into an impromptu dance.

We all have missing pieces of ourselves. Whether from past lives or the present. These missing pieces can cause us to not fully know ourselves or to be fully present. By retrieving these pieces of our soul, we can connect deeply to our purpose on the planet.

Having five or more positive emotions for every negative strengthens resilience, self-discipline, and emotion regulation (Fredrickson & Losada, 2005). 1:1 ratios or lower are related to emotional disorders and make it difficult to develop SEL skills. We’ll share three 5-minute routines that create this ratio in students and adults:1. Mood and energy enhancers, 2. Fueling purpose, and 3. Reframing. These are grounded in CBT, NLP, and cognitive neuroscience. Handouts and curriculum will be given.
