VAST
A Sonic Journey to Your Fundamental Nature

Dates: 

March 11

 

Saturday | 7 pm – 930pm 
 

Regular $54

YCD Members $44

A deep, relaxing sound bath to help you attune to the spaciousness of your fundamental nature.

 

Our essential wholeness shines forth when we let go of concepts and feelings about ourselves and simply Be.  Flowing into the present moment, our essence becomes crystal clear. 

 

 

 

Sound can help us effortlessly let go into this eternal moment.  In this liminal state, our mind and spirit can travel to places not easily accessible in normal waking states.  Reflection, inspiration, understanding, and resolution can all happen in this space.

 

 

 

At tonight’s AWAKE Pop Up, Travis Rumsey will use guided embodiment and sound to transport you beyond the everyday self.  Generated live from traditional sonic instruments, the sound will expand your sense of place and time.  It will expand your sense of you. 

 

 

 

Sound is traditionally received laying down.  Please bring a pad, pillows, and blankets as you need for comfort.  Chairs will be available if you prefer to sit.

 

Travis utilizes sound energy, embodiment practices, and meditation to help people find and align with their shining, undamaged core.  Contact with our core essence allows for deep healing and connection to our highest selves.

Yoga and The Pelvic Floor: A workshop for EVERY BODY

with Leslie Howard

 

Please note this is a one day workshop that is also the first day of the Teacher Training. If you would like to sign up for the Teacher Training, click the training below.

 

Proper strengthening and stabilizing of the pelvic floor helps to create the correct foundation of each movement in the body. This is the true meaning of “core work.” Whether you experience any of these conditions, or are just plain curious about this region of the body, this workshop is for you:

 

  • pelvic pain
  • lower back, hip or groin problems
  • discomfort during sex or while using tampons
  • skin irritation
  • leak when laughing or sneezing
  • have to go the bathroom too often
  • prolapsed organs
  • pre and post pregnancy

This workshop we will locate, assess, soften, stretch, strengthen and exercise the muscle groups of the pelvic floor, discuss mula bandha, abdominal health and how to utilize the pelvic floor in asana.

 

Part one of the workshop will begin with anatomy, lecture and discussion, followed by subtle experiential movements to awaken your understanding of this often ignored area.

Part two, will be yoga asana to address the two types of pelvic floors. A series of specific exercises and asanas for the pelvic floor will follow. Handouts will be provided.

 

Bring your friends, sisters, mothers and daughters. Although helpful, no yoga experience is required. This workshop qualifies for continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance and IAYT.

 

* all female identified or female assigned at birth people welcome.

It all begins with a desire; this desire is so deeply woven into the fabric of the human tapestry and yet few are still enough to hear it. From an early age I distracted myself from this desire, I ran from this desire, and I denied this desire existed at all, until one day, the desire paralyzed me. It is this moment of paralysis that catapulted my curiosity and redirected the rest of my life. I was shown the power of the mind and the effects emotions can have on the body and it is an intelligently intricate and beautifully balanced design. The desire was unleashed, unapologetically guiding me on the path of self-study and healing. This, among a lifetime of experiences in many differing realities of the human existence, is what bred me to become a teacher.

 

My passion is to connect people to this collective desire, that of self-study and self-awareness as this is what leads us to YOG, the Sanskrit word meaning “to yoke” or to bring together “a union” in the mind-body-spirit connection. I aspire to inspire the human collective to choose consciousness in all facets of the word and take back our birthright of sovereign embodiment and abundant joy.

Sovereign Sexuality

Dates: 

May 27th-28th

 

Saturday | 12 pm – 8pm 
Sunday   | 10 am – 4:30 pm
 

$395 

Join Sierra Lynn for this soul expansive journey into creative + sexual expression

 

No, I am not teaching a “sex course” although sexual tendencies will certainly be discussed.

 

Think BIGGER!

 

Sexuality is the reason we all exist. It is at the foundation of every cell in our body and is our biological drive to receive connective states of pleasure and create human LIFE.

 

Such a profound + powerful force is VASTLY unexplored by most of our population, and this perpetuates the cycle of unhealthy expression and empty connections.

 

This course is an opportunity to connect with women on the path to cultivating awareness around our expressive patterns, how they were formed, and which ones are serving us + which ones are holding us back.

 

POINTS OF FOCUS
+ Body image
+ Relational Patterns
+ Sexual Expression
+ Feminine Connection
+Energy Centers
+ Anatomy of Vulva + Vagina
+ Our Personal Empowerment Story
+ AND much, MUCH more

Our sexual expression is an all-encompassing means to communicate to the world who we are spirituality, emotionally, mentally. socially and most undeniably CREATIVELY! The more we understand ourselves the more we are able to impact and redirect our expression to support us in obtaining a life of sovereignty + authentic experiences.

This price includes materials + coursebook + facilitation + certificate of completion +experience!

Given the nature of this course space is limited to keep the group intimate + connected.
