Aroma Yin Experience

July 21, 2025

5:30-7pm

Come Restore Your Self through AROMA YIN: combining Yin Yoga and the power of essential oils. We will explore the five-element theory as it relates to the 5 pairs of meridians (as recognized by TCM) that run up the front of the body and down the back. Gently moving through poses to support the yin/yang relationship of the organs and how each behaves on an energetic level. Pairing the asana with essential oils that support normal organ function for the specific element.

The first pair is that of Fire: the heart & small intestine. The second is Water: the kidneys & bladder, the third is Wood: liver & gallbladder, the fourth Metal: lungs & large intestine, and finally Earth: the spleen & stomach. We will move through a series of asana with essential oils to enhance the fundamental function of chi (energy) in the body through each of the five areas. Enriching the strength and fluidity of healthy chi by slowing down and surrendering to our experience to restore the SELF.

Heal Your Self Through Ayurveda

September 7, 2025

10AM - 5PM

Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga and is often referred to as the Science of Life. We are each made up of a unique constitution of the three Doshas, which provide us with our greatest strengths and greatest challenges as we move through life. Each Dosha exhibits and holds attributes which have specific activities and structures in the body and the mind. With regular and mindful observation, we learn to understand their activity and presence in our body-mind. When a Dosha is in excess, or disharmony, certain conditions may occur. The goal is to provide healing activities and exercises, natural substances and external stimuli which will restore the natural balance. We will begin with a questionnaire to determine your predominant Dosha, and then explore all three Doshas combined with yoga asanas, practices, and essential oils to bring healing to your body.

Includes Dosha Quiz and information packet, as well as a healthy catered lunch.
