Yoga is a profound practice that fosters connections within ourselves and with the world around us. It combines body techniques and states of consciousness, encompassing breath control, specific postures, and meditation to achieve deep spiritual insight and a sense of calm. As you continue your yoga journey, you will discover a pathway to inner peace, well-being, and a profound sense of unity with your environment as well as your SELF. The benefits of yoga are far-reaching, offering physiological improvements, psychological growth, and biochemical advantages that contribute to overall health and vitality.
Integrative Restoration (iRest) is a contemporary adaptation of Yoga Nidra. While it shares many basic principles and techniques with other forms of Yoga Nidra, it also has unique differences. Yoga Nidra is a process of meditative self-inquiry derived from the teachings of Yoga. Meditation is the practice of dedicating time to quiet contemplation or it can encompass various techniques, including mindfulness, concentration on an object, thought, or activity. Through meditation, individuals can train their attention and enhance their awareness, fostering mental and emotional clarity. This versatile practice can be beautifully combined with yoga and breathwork, but it can also be enjoyed solo or through guided sessions. The beauty of meditation lies in its flexibility—there’s truly no wrong way to make it your own. Embrace your unique journey towards serenity and self-discovery!
As a Reiki Master certified in the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition, I harnessed the power of “Universal Life Energy” to facilitate healing. Originating from Japan, Reiki is a gentle yet profoundly effective form of energy work, which is guided by your Angels, Ancestors, Guardians, and Spirit Guides. Reiki offers numerous benefits; including emotional release, stress reduction, pain relief, improve sleep and enhanced sense of overall balance. In this practice, I serve as a bridge connecting the realms of spirit and matter, with the intention on channeling healing energy to those I work with. This role of being a vessel allows me to facilitate a transformative experience that nurtures the mind, body and spirit.
