Breathwork
“So long as there is breath, it is called life. Death consists in the leaving of breath. It is, therefore, necessary to restrain the breath.” – Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Breath is intrinsically connected to our state of being. When we are disconnected with our breath, we are disconnected from our anchor and source of control. When stressed, our respiration increases. When relaxed, it decreases. What if we could relax, by decreasing our respiration? Science is proving that we can engage our parasympathetic nervous system, and counter act the “fight or flight” response, promote cellular repair, fight the affects of aging, all by utilizing our breath. In this workshop, we will learn methods to reach states of rest and repair, re-balance and integration. You will learn techniques that you can use to develop a personal practice, and change your experience of life, for life.
Mala and Mantra Workshop
A mala is a specific type of prayer beads from eastern cultures. Usually containing 108 + 1 beads, the mala acts as a tool in reciting specific phrases known as mantras. Mantra, literally translated as “muttering”, is the repetition of one phrase representing aspects of the Divine to bring ourselves into a state of devotion. When spoken in their native tongue, these mantras also have a significant vibrational affect on the mind and body.
In this workshop you will hand build a mala for your personal practice. We will learn about different types of mala beads and mantras, and choose the best fit for your path. When finished, we will consecrate the mala and practice our mantras together for the first time, installing a lasting memory and connection to the piece, and bringing forward tranquility and spiritual ascension.
