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!)
Winter Solstice: Restorative, Yoga Nidra, and Sound Bath w/ Elisabeth and Michele
Saturday, December 28th | 3-5 pm | $50 or $95 for two people
Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is a time for rest. The Sun shortens its journey into the high sky every day and takes much longer periods to rest. Darkness pervades more of the time, encouraging us to return to the home and sit by the fire to rekindle and strengthen our inner flame. The cold air awakens the eternal warmth of the soul. Please join us, as we gather in community, in warmth and gratitude, to rejuvenate our bodies with restorative yoga, yoga nidra and sound healing. There will be time for journaling and reflection.

Let’s celebrate curiosity and joy through the simple act of creation, as we move into the New Year!
