SUMMARY:Aligning the Chakras: A Sound Healing and Restorative Experience with Allie Mandikos
DESCRIPTION:A sound healing and restorative experience: using two powerful modalities combined to cultivate a healing experience. We will move through the energy body and explore the chakras through sound healing\, breath work and mindfulness. \nRestorative yoga allows the body time and space to rest\, heal and recover through postures that use as little effort as possible. A relaxing and slow paced class that allows time and ease for the body\, breath and mind to slow down. In this class you can expect as few as 5-6 postures and the use of props such as bolsters\, blocks and blankets to hold and support the body. \nSound healing combines different healing sounds\, music\, and sound healing instruments that create resonant sounds and powerful vibrations\, promoting relaxation and energy flow through the body. This vibrational energy can improve our multidimensional well-being where we are able to deepen the connection to our mind\, body and breath. \nIf you are looking to relax\, let go\, restore and deepen your meditation and breath work practice this workshop is for you! \n\nCost: $30Financial Aid AvailablePLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Integrative Breathwork for Self-Discovery  with Eddie LeShure and Margaret Kirschner
DESCRIPTION:Integrative Breathwork is a powerful adjunct to meditation and yoga\, effective for working with addiction\, trauma\, depression\, and anxiety.  \nIt is a powerful approach to self-exploration and personal empowerment that relies on our innate inner wisdom and its capacity to move us toward wholeness. You will cultivate a sense of openness\, honesty\, and a deep connection to inner wisdom.  \nYou can reach expanded states of consciousness in a completely natural way using your breath and a specific music playlist. It nudges your default mode network out of your way and allows intuitive awareness to be known. It also integrates new insights into old stories\, placing you on a higher vantage point to gain a broad perspective. Deeply connect to your body and hear/feel/see the messages from your intuition\, creating a balanced\, calm\, clear state\, trusting that all the answers you seek are inside. \nThe process is very safe and simple\, combining accelerated breathing with evocative music in an eyes closed setting. You remain in complete control of your own process. \nIntegrative Breathwork is intended as a personal growth experience and is not a substitute for psychotherapy. It can initiate non-ordinary states of consciousness accompanied by intense emotional and physical releases. If you are pregnant\, have cardiovascular concerns\, severe hypertension (untreated high blood pressure)\, severe mental illness\, epilepsy or have had recent surgery\, infection\, illness or fever\, please do not sign up.  If you have asthma\, please bring your inhaler with you.
