Intro to IFS & Yoga Therapy w/ Kelly and Jen

Sunday, December 8th | 2-4 pm | $40 or $75 for two people

 

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a Parts Work-based psychotherapy modality and self-help framework that can pair beautifully with the deep inner healing that occurs through Yoga Therapy. Both modalities lean on compassion for self and others, the mind-body connection, and gently tapping into our inner healing wisdom through a sense of curiosity and mindfulness. How can these tools be used to better understand yourself, your life experiences, and those around you? Let Kelly and Jen share their practices with you in this experiential workshop. This workshop is designed for beginners to IFS and/or Yoga Therapy, giving participants a sense of each modality, how they can complement each other, and how you can utilize them to promote personal growth and healing. 

As the weather changes and we naturally go inward, let us guide you through an afternoon of light internal exploration and curiosity. Attendees will be taught the core concepts and goals of IFS, then skillfully guided into their body through movement using principles of Yoga Therapy: coaching sensation and edge, dropping in, and then engaging in a reflective IFS meditation. There will be opportunity to ask Kelly and Jen questions and you will be provided resources for future learning. All activities are optional and meant to briefly demonstrate the models in a safe group environment. Please bring a journal/paper to write on, a writing utensil, and a yoga mat. 

Note: This workshop is educational and is not intended to treat or diagnose any mental health condition.

          Astrology and Breathwork w/ Amy and Lacey

          Saturday, December 21st | 6-8 pm | $40 or $75 for two people

           

          Join Amy Kuretsky, from Constellation Acupuncture & Healing Arts, and  Lacey Prpić Hedtke, from The Future, for a special  astrology and group breathwork event at Yess Yoga. Breathwork is a powerful experiential tool and process that allows deep self-exploration and transformation. Breathwork uses only the power of our own breath with the support of music and a group dynamic to access a non-ordinary state of consciousness.  with an intentional breathing practice to go within into the deepest parts of ourselves and witness whatever we find there with love and compassion.

           

          There’s significant power in coming together in a sacred container to breathe and open our hearts together as a group. This group dynamic allows you to care for yourself while you care for your community through group healing. Because this process can bring up intense emotions and strong physical experiences, please understand that issues arising from participation in Breathwork may require additional therapeutic or supportive interventions.If you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, have a recent TBI or history with seizures, retinal detachment, or any other significant health issue you’d like Amy to be aware of, please make this information known to her prior to your participation. As always, please feel empowered to discuss breathwork with your physician if you are concerned about participating for any reason.

          This event will be split into three parts: time to discuss the current astrology, time to lay down and breathe together, and time after the breathing to share witness. No previous breathwork experience necessary. Wear comfy clothes, bring a yoga mat, an eye covering (mats and other props are also available onsite to borrow if needed!)
