The Sattvā Experience
During this 2.5 hr. mini retreat, we will begin with a dharma talk about what living a sattvic life entails and discuss different breath techniques we will use to turn on the parasympathetic nervous system in order to fully reap the benefits of this unique practice. From there, we will move into an all levels vinyasa flow to build heat and burn through barriers before transitioning into a slow, mindful and intuitive flow. Flowing first helps work out physical tension to soften our muscles and quiet our thoughts before we share in a sacred cacao ceremony to open our hearts. Next, we’ll transition into a yin practice which further challenges the mind to be quiet as we hold postures for several minutes to open locked spaces (focusing on our stiff connective tissues which are harder to open than our muscles that are made of water) in our bodies in a tranquil and quieter space before moving into a Yoga Nidra (psychic yogic sleep) practice in which you will be bathed in various sounds to further reduce pain and inflammation, stress and anxiety, improve sleep, lower blood pressure and leave you floating on a cloud of pure bliss as you slip into a conscious dream-like state (and if you fall asleep, that’s great. It means you needed it!).
Light refreshments, cacao, and props (blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters, eye pillows and sandbags) will be provided. Bring a mat, water, and any other props you’d like to use (pillows are great for savasana!).
Cost is $55 and space is limited to 12 friends
