THE VARIOUS TYPES OF CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS THAT I OFFER

*** TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA FOR EMBODIED HEALING:

I am so happy to begin to offer this type of practice. It feels so necessary for the times we are living. I offer the class in English.

In this 5-week series of yoga, we will be engaged in Trauma Informed care. This means that instead of receiving yoga instruction to learn to “do a pose right”, you will be invited to tune into your felt sense and to make choices about how you want to move. Although I will be guiding movement, offering options, you will be fully in control of your own practice, moving in and out of shapes as you like.  I also will be making choices based on my own felt-experience of each moment.

There are many forms of trauma, and one common aspect is that trauma often includes an event or series of events that has compromised or erased (or continues to) our sense of self-agency and our capacity to make choices based on how we feel. This Embodied Healing series is a space to begin to gently reconnect to our physical sensations, our authentic selves and our own empowerment.

The on-line nature of the course more easily allows participants to opt in or out of any movement invitation without the self-consciousness that may arise at an in-person class. You choose whether to have your camera open or closed, whatever will support your practice. Doing movements in your own way, changing the tempo, doing something completely different, simply watching or listening to class, are all welcome expressions of exploration!

In this movement-based class, there will be no discussion of traumatic experiences, no need to explain or justify your relationship to trauma. My hope is that we will create resources in learning to make choices about how we want to move and feel, and in nurturing our capacity for resilience, self-agency, and empowerment.

WORKSHOPS

WINTER SADHANA: The Sacred Centre

Sadhana can be defined as The Journey of Return. What are we returning to?  Through practice, we return to our true Divine nature that ever lies beneath our conditioned individual selves, as a state of deep integrity, clarity and grace. Please join me in a week-long morning sadhana that will include inspirational readings, simple asana practice (focussing on the spine and kidneys) and meditation, all to help us abide in our sacred centre.

Spiral into Spring 

Spring is the time when the great thawing begins here in the North, the sap rises, buds begin to form and we unfold our cocooned winter bodies. In traditional Chinese medicine, this upward and expansive impulse is related to the element of wood and to the Liver and gallbladder organs These organs influence our capacity to have a clear view of what we would like to grow in the garden of our lives, and how to go about planting those seeds.

 In this 5 day long sadhana, using both yin and hatha postures as well as sound, we will shake the old stagnant chi from the liver and gallbladder so that we can truly spiral into spring.

Vibrations de Guérison

Bain sonore et Soins Énergétique

Avec Kim Zombik et Fanou Lanciault

Nikolas Tesla a dit un jour: "Si vous voulez trouver les secrets de l'univers, pensez en termes d'énergie, de fréquence et de vibrations."

La pratique de guérison ancestrale et mondiale consistant à utiliser des vibrations sonores et physiques pour disperser doucement les blocages et équilibrer le cerveau apporte une relaxation transcendantale et un contact profond avec les secrets du Vrai Soi.

Attendez-vous à être immergé dans un «bain» de tonalités d'une collection de bols en métal et en cristal émettant des fréquences différentes accompagné de soins Énergétiques en Polarité et d’une belle méditation guidée.
