De-stress and restore
Yin Yoga
A practice for every age group, Yin Yoga is a perfect balance of movement and awareness. It invites you to reflect on your internal world, noticing how poses feel vs how they look . Allowing for expansion and conscious awareness, Yin Yoga provides the opportunity for the restoration of balance and harmony that extend into all aspects of our lives.
From a physical aspect, Yin Yoga targets the fascia (connective tissue), joints, and the more 'plastic' parts throughout your body. This is accomplished through passively held poses using props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks. Poses are held for anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes (sometimes longer), encouraging a relaxing, meditative state, perfect for inner reflection. Focus on the present moment and feel the peace and calm. Whether you are young or old, there are countless benefits to this practice; here are just a few:
- Increased flexibility, mobility and range of motion
- Can lower blood pressure
- Increased focus and concentration
- Better, deeper sleep
- Assists organs in releasing toxins
- Strengthens connective tissue helping to stabilize joints
- Releases emotional tension and stress held in the body
Reiki and Energy Work
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that uses universal/source energy. This energy supports the body's innate healing abilities. Our practitioners access this energy, allowing it to flow through the body and facilitate healing. This is a gentle, noninvasive, and holistic energy healing system that yields powerful results for your mind, body, and spirit.
Receiving Reiki is physically very passive. You're typically laying down comfortably on your front or back body (sometimes both in one session). The practitioner will move their hands over certain areas of the body, channeling universal/source energy. This process creates a relaxed and meditative state, allowing this intelligent energy to move about freely and easily where necessary. Reiki/Energy Work has many beneficial effects that may help transform your life; these are just some of them:
- Activate deep relaxation
- Strengthen connection to self and intuition
- Promote feelings of happiness and well being
- Stimulate balance to mind, body, and spirit
- Assist in removal of energy blockages
- Helps in detoxification
- Provide new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy
- Stimulate the immune system
