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

PayPal:  jeremywolf23@hotmail.com

Props needed:
~Yoga Mat or Sleeping Pad
~1 Bolster (or two bed pillows)
~2-3 blankets (mexican blankets or similar, twin size)
~2 blocks (or 2 small pillows or rolled up towels)
~Eye pillow or hand towel

Wear warm, comfortable clothes and socks.

You can get a massage anytime when you know how to use hollow rubber balls to do so. Join me for an online 4 class series in Bodymind Ballwork starting November 4th. Each session focuses on a different area of the body, so you will be empowered to free yourself from tension and pain whenever and wherever you need. You will need a full set of Massage Balls to participate, which I can ship to you or you can pick up from my front porch if you live in the Denver area. Register soon if you plan to join us!

Roll.Release.Restore.

A Bodymind Ballwork and Anatomy Series with Kristine Whittle, E-RYT 500, LMT

4 Wednesdays
Nov 4th, 11th, Dec 9th, 16th 2020
6:30-8:30pm
$120 for 4 classes or $35/class drop in
Set of 6 Balls $30In this four week self-care series, we’ll roll on rubber balls to gently massage and stretch our entire body with a focus on a different area for each class:

1: Best Everyday Practices & Spine
2: Shoulders, Neck, Head and Arms
3: Lower Back, Hips, & Abdomen
4: Hips, Legs, Knees, Feet

Bodymind Ballwork is a bodywork system that employs rubber balls of various sizes and textures to ease tension in muscles and fascia. It can be an effective preparatory technique for yoga or other movement practices to loosen up and increase joint mobility. It is incredibly empowering in that once you learn the basics you can do it on your own at any time to relieve stiffness and pain.Anatomy slides will be shared on the screen to illustrate each area of the body we are working on. Gentle stretches will be interspersed throughout, and at the end of each practice we’ll relax into a Restorative Yoga posture to afford our body-mind the deep rest, quietude and healing it longs for.The marriage of ball work, stretching and restorative yoga goes well beyond a few relaxing stretches: it gives us permission to truly let go and soften into a profound experience of freedom.You will finish the series with a new toolbox for relieving pain and tension including detailed handouts to refer to when practicing at home and a full set of Massage Balls.

Accessible to people of most any age or physical condition.
