FULL DAY WORKSHOP
Yoga Therapy: Breath - The Therapeutic Link between Body and Mind
Breathing is a pillar of good health and mental calm. Deeply connected with the functioning of all body systems and the mind, our breathing influences how we move and think. In this workshop, we will explore different techniques of breathing from the physical perspective. Then we will look at how breathing is connected to the mind, working with attitude and visualizations. Through our connection with and exploration of the breath, we will discover how the breath can be a powerful tool to maintain well-being and combat ill-health.

5 Hour Class
Chakra Balancing for You + the Planet
Mixed Levels | Discussion + Asana
Imagine if we, as a conscious human race were to reduce our efforts of digging down below the earth's surface (it's root chakra) for limited fossil fuel resources, depleting and destabilizing our planet's steady foundation. Imagine that we looked upward into the sky (the earth's higher chakras) to focus more of our efforts towards harnessing it's unlimited, sustainable and renewable energies from the wind, sun, and even higher into the cosmic realm of our galaxy's stars and planets above.  

Join Twee as she guides us through a dynamic elemental and chakra-based Prana Flow ® vinyasa practice starting with a discussion of seven energy centers (chakras) within us all, and concluding with our group's collective suggestions highlighting several ways to support not only our own health and abundance…but our planet's too! | All levels welcome.

AcroYoga Therapeutics Full Day Intense

The Therapeutics Full Day Intense focuses on the healing, relaxing and
transformative practices of Thai massage and therapeutic flying. The Thai
Asana Sequence teaches basic body mechanics and massage techniques, with an
emphasis on cultivating sensitivity and self-love. This practice lays the
foundation to effortlessly transmit metta (loving-kindess) during the dance
of Thai massage. The techniques learned on the floor are then translated to
the flying work, using the element of gravity to amplify the healing flow
of prana (life force). Often, we will work in teams of three for safety and
support, and everyone will have the opportunity to base and fly, heal and
be healed. This training offers invaluable tools for yoga teachers, massage
therapists, and energy workers who wish to develop a new dimension of
healing touch for students or clients.

Skills covered:
• Thai Asana Sequence
• Giving & Receiving Thai massage in the 4 main positions - Supine, Prone,
Side Lying, & Seated. Plus additional Tandem sequence (2 givers on 1
receiver)
• Forward, Backward & High Flying Whale Therapeutic Flying Sequences

Pre-Requisites:
• Comfort & experience basing AND flying folded leaf
• Comfort & experience giving a 10 minute Thai massage sequence on the legs
with the receiver laying face up (supine).

Recommendations:
• Completion of a General Immersion
