Reiki Level 1 Training w/ Liz

Saturday, April 26th | 10 am- 6pm | $250- $25 off when you register before April 1st

 

Join Liz in delving into the rich history and healing techniques of Reiki. Reiki is an ancient energy healing technique that promotes energetic balance, stress reduction and physical healing.

Topics include:

  • History and basics of Reiki
  • How to protect and clear your energy
  • Hand positions for treating yourself and others
  • Principles for living a balanced and peaceful life
  • 4 attunements to release stagnant energy and connect to Reiki energy
  • Creative ways to use Reiki on animals, plants and so much more


Through this course you will also obtain a Reiki First Degree Certification in the Usui Reiki lineage. Reiki combines two Japanese words- “rei” meaning universal, and “ki” meaning vital life force energy. It refers to the gentle energy that flows through all of us and is literally the essence of our beings (known a prana, qi or chi in other traditions).

The flow of energy in the body can become blocked or restricted due to injury, trauma, daily stressors of modern society, or emotional pain. Reiki aims to support optimal health and wellness by removing constrictions and improving the flow of energy. Reiki is done by laying the hands gently on the body with intention. Please join Liz for this Reiki training if you are interested in deepening your personal self-healing tool kit, practicing Reiki on others, or simply for the sake of learning.

Class sizes are kept small (6 or fewer) to ensure that all participants feel safe and comfortable in the classroom. This training includes lecture, discussion, attunements and hands on practice time.


No prior experience or knowledge is necessary to take this course.

    Sound Bath w/ Michele

    Sunday, April 27th | 7-8 pm | $20 or $40 for two people

     

    According to yogic philosophy, liberation comes when the mind can be directed and one’s inner light takes the lead. Paying attention to the activity of our senses is one way to direct the mind, and hearing is one of the 5 primary human senses. When we become fully aware of our hearing sense, with a heart of curiosity, we can decrease the tendency of the mind to act as master.  Further, therapeutic sound has a unique ability to call forth the parasympathetic nervous response, as the ears are a seat for this part of our nervous system.  The parasympathetic nervous response brings forth the feelings and sensations of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation. In a world that largely activates only our sympathetic nervous responses, therapeutic sound is so incredibly needed right now. Therapeutic sound can entrain the mind’s vibration into one of steadiness and directability.

    In these monthly workshops, we will start with restorative breathwork that fses on lengthening the exhale, which is another way that yogic philosophy says will mold the mind into a more redirectable form. Then we will move into relaxation within the vibrations of therapeutic sound. The instruments of gongs, crystal sound bowls, and drums will be used to create these therapeutic sounds.

    No previous experience needed. Please wear comfortable clothing. If you are prone to headaches, please bring a head covering (beanie, hat, bandana, etc). Minimum age requirement is 11 years old.

      Yoga and Acupuncture w/ Tatum

      Sunday, May 11th | 7-8:30 pm | $40 or $70/ two people

       

      Yoga and acupuncture are a match made in the chillest of heavens. Whether you’re new to acupuncture, yoga or you love them both, this is an accessible and affordable way to combine these two healing modalities at once, each month at Yess Yoga.

      This 90-minute trauma-informed yoga class will begin with a slow flow / yin yoga practice and conclude with an extended savasana needle nap. Together, the two complementary modalities will provide an opportunity for folks to relax and find balance. Tatum Fjerstad, a yoga teacher and licensed acupuncturist, will be leading the yoga and providing the acupuncture. All levels are welcome. 

      Masks are optional during yoga and required during the acupuncture portion.

      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!)

      That Yoga Life: dinacharya, ṛtucharya, and yajña w/ Karin Lynn Carlson

      Sunday, May 18th | 2-4 pm | $40 or $75 for two people

       

      Anybody who starts to practice in a dedicated way starts to feel that yoga is everywhere.  Everything about yoga seems a little sacred.  Yoga is more than a stretch; it’s about our soul.  Yoga is more than an hour or two on the mat, it’s our fundamental relationships to time, purpose, and relationships. 
      .
      Come learn about the practices of an aesthetic, yogic life in daily, ritual, and personal journey paradigms known in the tradition as dinacharya, ṛtucharya, and yajña.  We’ll discuss lostness, too.  We can also reclaim yoga from the fitness industry and Ayurveda from lists of food rules.By learning the traditional models, we’ll also have an opportunity to discuss identity and personal transformation. 
      .
      Karin Lynn Carlson (she/her) ups the ante on yoga conversations and offers yoga teachings that honor yoga tradition.  She’s committed to disrupting the co-option of the practices of Black, Indigenous, and WoC for white wellness and spirituality. She is unraveling the dominant narrative both in her own body and in wider yoga culture. Karin is an acharya within the living Desikachar lineage, and is uniquely positioned to transmit lineaged teachings without upholding the harms of patriarchy, cultural appropriation, and colonialism. Karin (like you put the car in the garage) lives on unneeded Lakota territory, North Minneapolis.

            Intro to Somatics with Emily

            Saturday, June 14th | 1:30-3:30 pm | $35 or $60/two people

             

            Join this workshop to learn about somatics, how to work with and through the body to heal our trauma, conditioning, patterns, pains, and anything getting in our way of living the life we truly desire. We will discuss how through working with and through the body we can find wisdom, connection, and joy in our life.

            We will look at how mental patterns, mindset, shapes we carry ourselves in, language, background, conditioning, and more affect us and our wellbeing. All of these show us how we are finding safety, connection, and belonging in the world. This class will discuss how we are currently doing these and explore ways in which we could find these things more in alignment with what we truly want, value, and care about. You will also be guided into your body to heal and find wisdom there.
