Seasonal Radical Rest Sundays, 4:00-6pm
Yin, Qigong & Somatic Movement/Yoga Nidra
Each quarter there will be a seasonal special theme that will be explored through somatic awareness, slowly and kindly shifting you from movement into stillness.
Offer yourself permission to REST and the gift of self care through this seasonal quarterly workshop exploration of energy shifting movement, cultivation of presence and the belonging sense of community. These sessions will be recorded so that you have access to them for the remainder of the quarter.
This is a new format that will allow a deeper dive into the concepts we are working with, mostly through the lens of the five elements theory as taught from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective. I will be sending out a worksheet with inquiry questions a couple of weeks prior to the actual event so that you can do some personal inquiry .This is an opportunity for continued growth, both emotionally and spiritually. A focused time for personal commitment to practice living your answers. You will then have access to that Yoga Nidra for 3 months. This is the true spirit of the practice. To stay with your heart felt intention for several months and truly plant and honour your seed of desire.
If you are on list for that workshop or all 4 , I'll be sending you accountability and support questions every couple of weeks as well as the occasional brand new audio Yoga Nidra supporting the theme of the season. Liken this to a year long study group of self inquiry and growth toward a more conscious life.
I look forward to sharing community centered quiet time with you!

Winter-Kidney’s faith, Wisdom, Hibernation, the element of Water.
During the change of seasons, the nervous system becomes especially sensitive to what is going on in nature.
Our continuing series for Winter 2025 workshops will guide you through gentle practices for supporting your Winter energy as we move forward into the first phase of the new year. This is the most yin season of the year. In Winter, within the realm of Mother Nature, the world is at it’s most Yin energy state. Mother nature is teaching us to go inwards. To reflect and rejuvenate. This is an optimal time to look back at the previous year, see where growth was apparent and generous and find new places to manifest your inner desires and your best self going forward. Body/Mind/Spirit practices for Winter focus on the kidneys’ and bladder, breathing exercises, the immune system and accessing wisdom gained and how to utilize that gathered knowledge for continued growth.
Radical Rest Sunday’s create an environment of intentionality. One of the most powerful elements of the practice is to create and bring forth your heartfelt intention also known as Sankalpa.
Your personal inner seed of intention. The quiet practice of Yoga Nidra is the nurturing inner force that cracks open your intention seed and allows it to rise towards the light, just as Mother Nature is modeling for us.
YOGA NIDRA and Modern Research
In the field of neuroscience, there continues to be discovery and support of the profound effects that Yoga Nidra has on your nervous system. Better sleep, greater clarity of thinking, enhanced creativity, hormonal balance which has the added bonus in assisting with weight loss.

Take some time for yourself . Honour your soul. Give yourself the gift of the Sacred Pause.
