Yoga & Eating Disorder Support Group
with Karen Gilmour & Trish McDermott Friday, May 3rd - 7:30-8:45pm Join Karen Gilmour & Trish McDermott for an evening of support. The Yoga & Eating Disorder Support Group is a peer led group open to anyone in recovery from, or currently struggling with disordered eating (including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, Orthorexia, EDNOS, etc). This is a space for in person group support led by two certified yoga teachers who have been through treatment, therapy and know the everyday struggles of living with an eating disorder. This movement, breath, conversation, connection and community is something we found has helped in the healing process and we want to share it with others struggling. This is a space for practice to do just that - to ground, to get present, to release what no longer serves us and invite in all that does. This group is not a means of treatment and is not professional therapy. We are not doctors or therapists.The class will begin with 20-30 minutes of gentle accessible yoga for all bodies - including asana (poses), breathing, meditation and relaxation. The remainder of the time will be left for group discussion and open conversation around topics relating, but not limited, to body image, self love, self compassion and ways to fill our tool boxes to help ourselves in times of need. At no time should there be mention of numbers, weight and specifics of damaging behaviors shared as this may be harming and triggering to other members in the group. We are here to encourage healing, inspire recovery, and create a supportive space for those affected by eating disorders. (ages 18 and up) |
Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation
with Dr. Darren Orr Saturday, May 4th - 1:15-2:45pm Join us for our monthly Meditation Class with Dr. Darren Orr, Doctor of Chinese Medicine in Medical QiGong Therapy, Daoist Priest, NCTMB/LMT Massage Therapist, Reiki and QiGong Master, Meditation teacher, Sound Healer. During the course of our life many emotional, mental and environmental factors interfere with the emotional and mental state of the body. When the body is vibrating out of tune or non-harmoniously, it is called dis-ease. The human body is the sum of many vibrations emanating from the organs, muscles and nerves. Vibrations spread in waves. There is no better medium for waves as water. The human body is 2/3 water. This makes it the perfect medium for the propagation of waves. When a singing bowl is played, they call on the body memories of original harmonic frequencies. Heart and respiratory rates change, self-healing powers are activated and the immune system strengthened. The sound and vibrations emanating from the bowls re-tune the listener’s body by opening, clearing and rebalancing the 7 chakras, 20 meridians and 365 acu-points. When the body is vibrating in harmony with the whole, it is in a state of homeostasis, or sound health. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and bring pillows or any other items to enhance your own level of relaxation. All levels are welcome. $30. |
Qi Gong
with Dr. Darren Orr Saturday, May 4th - 3:15-4:45pm Medical QiGong is the ancient art and science of cultivating and balancing one’s life force energy or Qi (chee) for health, healing and well-being. This is done by combining posture with slow gentle flowing movements and stretches along with breathing, intention and visualization which leads you into a deep state of meditation. By calming the mind, QiGong allows you to increase stamina, balance, flexibility, vitality, relaxation, blood circulation, immune function and overall quality of life, then the natural self-healing ability of the body is activated and accelerated. QiGong is the foundation of Chinese Medicine, art, philosophy, culture and the martial arts. It is sometimes called acupuncture without the needles, Chinese yoga or meditation in motion. Qigong is the medicine, while Tai chi is a martial art. Qigong has all, if not more benefit, than Acupuncture and Tai chi because it’s much simpler and easier to learn and can be done seated in a chair, standing or even lying down. No Experience is necessary. All are welcome! Everything can be modified to meet your needs and condition!!! $30. |

Yin + Pin: A Yoga + Acupuncture Workshop
with Abrianna Rossi & Katie Us Friday, May 10th - 7:30-9:30pm Yin + Pin is the harmonious marriage of yin yoga and acupuncture, both of which work on the energetic channels of the body. This workshop strives to improve the flow of energy in these channels while creating space in your body at the same time. During this 2 hour workshop, Abrianna will guide you through a slowed-down yin yoga practice - by holding poses for 2-8 minutes, time and gravity will allow you to deepen your stretch, elongate your fascia and release your ligaments. Yin invites what is in the shadows – our thoughts, emotions, and feelings - to the surface where we can acknowledge and observe them on a physical level. We will end with an extra-long savasana where Katie will use acupuncture points to complement the yoga practice, encourage continued energy flow throughout the body, and promote deep relaxation (snoring is encouraged). You will leave this workshop feeling like a new person! Please arrive 10 minutes early to grab your spot. We will begin with a short meditation to calm the nervous system, flow through our yoga poses, and the last thirty minutes will be savasana with 3-6 pins. 8 yogi min, 20 max. $60. |
Nervous System Reset Workshop
with Leah Kleiner Saturday, May 11th - 1:00-3:00pm It’s time to thrive! In the modern world it’s easy to become reactive to everyday stressors. This builds up over time and creates issues with our mental, physical and spiritual health. Learn how to respond rather than react by using tangible tools to combat an activated nervous system quickly and simply. Accessing your parasympathetic “rest and digest” nervous system, not only helps you to feel more calm and peaceful, but does so much more for your life, health and well-being. This includes manifesting your desires, as you can not create from a state of “fight or flight.” In this intro workshop you will learn tools such as EFT tapping, breathwork, moving meditation, and vagas nerve toning techniques to allow you to begin to train your nervous system, add to your “de-stress toolbox” and create a life of thriving rather than just surviving! Bring your yoga mat. Dress comfy. All are welcome! $45 |
