UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Embodying the Heart: A Restorative & Yoga Nidra Odyssey

with Kristine Whittle and Jeremy Wolf

Online via Zoom

January 23rd 2021

3-5:30pm MST

$54

Join Kristine Whittle and Jeremy Wolf for their 10th edition of this collaborative journey.

In a world driven by productivity, one’s value is often acknowledged by wearing a badge of “busyness,” which can lead to a dysfunctional lifestyle and eventually illness. Deep healing becomes available when we are able to stop long enough to listen to the wisdom of our own hearts. Through self-care we can restore balance and reclaim our true creative power.

In this workshop, we’ll explore practices that help bring balance to the nervous system and quiet to the mind. This will be a journey into the abode of the heart and back out again through the deeply nourishing and interwoven practices of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.  When action flows from the heart, rather than the mind, we can meet the world with compassion, understanding and purpose.

Registration: To register for this event, please submit the following three items (accompanying your payment) to either the Venmo or Paypal accounts below.

– Your payment of $54/person

– Specify that this payment is for the “Restorative/Nidra”

– Include your email


Once payment is received, you will receive a Zoom registration link by email.  Once registered you will receive a confirmation email with login details for the workshop.


Payment can be made to:

Venmo:  jeremy-wolf-23
