Celebrating the Yogini Path! Saturday August 17 from 10am-6pm in Bewdley, Ontario at Ayurvedic Rituals and Spa

Illustration from the Osho Zen Tarot

A day in the countryside to experience renewal in body, mind and spirit through connection to the Goddess and her Divine Feminine ways.

This energy also goes by the names of Prana, Shakti, Qi and LOVE itself. Filtered through a feminine lens, it takes on extra fluidity, devotion, healing and compassion.

You will experience yoga, breathing practices, meditation, self-healing, spontaneous dance, chanting and Vedic astrology, among many other delights. And you will be supported by the company of beautiful and soulful women (like yourself) as well as Nature herself. I will be sharing Embodied Anatomy, my special approach to freeing Health and Beauty to flow through us by mindfully unlocking the natural anatomical movements of our joints.

Your three inspired guides will be AnandaShakti, Andrea Olivera and me!

More Free Living Somatics Lessons in March 2023. Find out what it’s all about, or come back for more!

I am pleased to offer two more free Living Somatics lessons in March. Experience what it means to move slowly, with awareness, and within a range of motion that prioritizes freedom and ease.

Somatic methodology re-calibrates our nervous systems, reduces (or in many cases erases) pain, improves posture and well-being, and brings suppleness to our bodies and minds. And these are  just a few of the benefits.

Each lesson is one hour, which includes a short introduction to the method, as well as an opportunity to share afterwards, or to ask questions.

All you need is your willingness and curiosity, and a place to lie down. This could be on a yoga mat on the ground, or even on your bed. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you freedom of movement, and have a few pillows or folded towels available to use as props if they are needed. If you’re on the floor, you may wish to pad your mat or carpet with an extra blanket or two; cozy is best.

It is also helpful for me to be able to see you as you move. If possible, please adjust your laptop or device to show your body resting on the floor. This way, I can customize my feedback to your needs and to how you learn. If you are unsure of how to accomplish this, please reach out by email; I am happy to coach you. What you learn can optimize all other movement classes you take online.

This month’s focus is on releasing the spine and improving how we walk. These lessons take place over Zoom, and all are welcome.

Please email me if you would like to experience one or both of the following sessions:

Saturday March 5, 10-11am. “Pelvic Clock” and/or

Saturday March  19, 10-11am. “Freeing Walking”.

Past Lessons:

Saturday Feb. 12, 10-11am. “Freeing the Hips” and/or

Saturday Feb. 19, 10-11am. “Activating the Core”.
