A Japanese technique that promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands and is based on the idea that an unseen 'life force energy' flows through us and causes us to be alive. When this force is low it often brings about stress and sickness. When the force is high we can expect good health and happiness.
Rei = Higher Power or God's Wisdom
Ki = Life Force Energy
With the powerful tool of Reiki energy healing, a spiritually guided life force, there will be a transformation of blocked energy, also known as energy alchemy. In combination with yin yoga we will be provided a beautiful opportunity for a journey through the mind, body and spirit, creating Union, allowing us to return to our natural state of love. As we remove blockages and dense energy, we are able to vibrate at the same frequency of our truest desires.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga is known as the quiet practice, attending to the forgotten inner realms. There are no standing postures, each one held for 3-5 minutes. We use the breath as a vehicle to connect, mind body and spirit. In this restful state, we are given the opportunity to ease and release deeply held tension in the physical body.
Yin energy is calming, cooling, introspective, nurturing, receiving, an ode to the feminine. It's opposite, yang energy, action-oriented, giving, warming, the embodiment of masculine energy. Most yoga practices work with the yang energy, building heat in the body, working with the muscles. In yin yoga the body remains cool, allowing us to get deep into the connective tissues.
In my class I hope to create a safe, sacred space where people can easily release and allow the flow of energy through the body, creating a healing experience. Each class is candlelit and warm. I choose to play reiki infused music which helps move energy in the body, for healing. Essential oils are also a favorite of mine to use, to help relax and ease the body and psyche. I also offer assists and light massage, only if the person is open to it.
Looking forward to seeing you in class!
With Love,
