MULTI-PART TRAINING INCLUDES:

  • An introduction to reiki energy; you’ll be attuned to share reiki energy freely and easily, learn the history of reiki, establish a simple self-practice, and gain language for speaking about your experience with energy. You’ll use this practice to soothe your body, understand that your presence is enough, have an immediately accessible tool to help calm tension or stress, and perhaps share healing practices with others.

  • Emotions 101! You’ll build your emotional vocabulary, learning to link sensation in the body with the words to describe your experience and step into your power. In the first half of this 8-week training, you’ll learn to and then practice listening to yourself. The latter 4 weeks focus on listening to yourself while in relationship with others, as well as expanding your capacity to be present to the emotions and experiences of those around you.

    LEARN MORE

  • You’ll learn poses that open up and support various areas of the body that hold tension, and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine that inform this practice. You’ll learn to recognize the difference between pain and discomfort with tools for how to safely navigate both. No yoga teaching experience is required; this training is suitable for both teachers and students alike.

    LEARN MORE

  • Restorative Yoga is the practice of experiencing yoga postures with the full support of props like blankets, bolsters, blocks, chairs, the wall, and floor. You’ll learn poses that support specific symptoms like anxiety, exhaustion and sadness, while deeply exploring what “comfortable” feels like in your body. No yoga teaching experience is required; this training is suitable for both teachers and students alike.

Honor the body

WHY HONOR THE
BODY?

Every day, you have hundreds of emotions. Most pass in the blink of an eye; maybe you register their presence, maybe they are just little blips on the radar of experiencing life. Some emotions and sensations feel “too much” or “too complicated” - they might be intense, causing a strong physical sensation or they might be layers of contradicting feelings about a particular experience where a simple designation of “I feel sad” doesn’t quite cover it. When we aren’t giving ourselves time or space to feel, especially more complicated feelings, we tend to feel stuck, run down, or overly emotional - the very things we are trying to avoid by not feeling our feelings in the first place.

Whether we want to or not, our body expresses emotion continuously. Often, as children, we weren’t taught how to be with, process or understand our emotions - our caregivers themselves might not have been taught, so how could they teach us? Instead, we learn to override our body’s signals, ignoring a prime communication tool that’s meant to help us understand and learn from our lived experiences. We feel a disconnect from ourselves and in our relationships; oftentimes there’s a greater sense of overwhelm and stress, as we’re not moving through the emotions but instead getting stuck carrying them.

To Honor the Body means to learn to BE in your body, accepting its communication and wisdom without fear of overwhelm. Your body isn’t out to get you - your sensations and feelings are there to help and guide you! The “problem” is you likely weren’t taught the skills and tools to understand your body, soothe yourself, and trust what your body is continually telling you is true for you. When you can build a sense of safety and support in your body through mindful practices, self-healing comes naturally through the gentleness you cultivate for yourself.

Reiki, Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga are all tools to support self-regulation and optimal energy flow within the body. Each practice is low effort and allows you to show up just as you are. Reiki re-integrates gentle touch as a regular part of your day. Restorative Yoga shows you how to get the benefits of yoga poses without the work and effort - props and the earth support your body rather than you having to hold yourself up. Yin Yoga uses principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to create optimal energy flow in the body. The Yin Practice introduces sensation in a way that helps you see how capable you really are when it comes to feeling, taking away old stories and allowing you to replace tension with space and openness.

Along the way, you’ll learn mindfulness practices that are easy to incorporate into your daily life, leaving you feeling better in your body with minimal effort or planning. These practices connect you to your body, your experience, and your needs, which allows you to feel better, at ease, and more settled. You’ll be giving yourself the gift of knowing YOU.
