Setting the Foundation for strength and stability without abandoning gentleness and flexibility.✨

This workshops style series will meet for 2 hours each Friday. Each class will begin with some yogic philosophy & yogic psychology along with an aromatherapy anointing ritual to enhance the practices. I will be sending students home with samples (about 10-15 drops) of therapeutic grade essential oils along with aromatherapy rituals and insights around how we can bring plants in as teachers as we explore and cultivate our own inner landscape and seasonality. Springtime is a time in nature when the tree is “putting on wood” for strength and stability. Our roots, that have been growing depth all winter, must be strong to support our springtime growth. Classes will include asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), kriya (practices used for purifying energy channels and harmonizing energy flow within the body), meditation & more. Each class will end with a long savasana and a short neck and scalp massage. Seasonal tea will be available after class as a traditional (optional) offering for a 15-20 minute integration time to build Sangha (spiritual community) and allow for transition. This is a great time to share experiences and ask questions.

Was there ever a time in your life when you were strong because you had to be? A time when you survived, you pushed through, you did what had to be done? That strength is valid and it was necessary for that season of life that was teaching you about survival, but it is not sustainable to remain in the season of survival forever. There may be times when we pull from those lessons again, but without becoming dysregulated by the stress patterns that our nervous system remembers, remaining rooted in a deep sense of trust and understanding that we are safe to respond differently because we have built strength that is now rooted in trust & stability. That is what this Aroma-Yoga Springtime Series for Strength & Stability will be all about.

This is the season for discerning what aspect of the self we are strengthening. When we build strength from an ego driven place of attachment/expectation, or from a survivalistic place of urgency or desperation - it can be destabilizing to the spirit. When we build strength without abandoning any aspect of our True Self - our emotional messaging, our instinctual needs, our evolving Dharma - we don’t just build strength, we build relationship. And when we feel safe and seen in any relationship - most importantly the relationship we have with ourselves - we build TRUST. Trust that is rooted in our relationship with our True Self builds stability that ripples out into all aspects of our lives. Strength with stability allows us to distill a life where we meet each moment with trust over urgency, truth over illusion, with spirit over ego. And that is what I am interested in exploring in the Aroma-Yoga Springtime Series I will be offering this May. If this speaks to the season of life you are in right now, I hope you will join us on the journey! Let’s circle up around the alter and discover what’s possible when we KEEP PRACTICING.

By the end of our journey together you will…

🪷Receive 5 handouts highlighting the topics of each week’s discussion, what we are channeling though during our practices, plus resources for your at home practice for those who want to deepen between our group classes.

🪷Receive 5 sample therapeutic grade essential oils with inspirational intention cards for quick reference as well as a more detailed handout on that Plant Essence for more in depth insights on what that plant has to offer along with inspirational application methods to bring aromatherapy ritual into your everyday life.

🪷Have a deeper understanding of what strength and stability means to you.

🪷Learn yogic practices for resilience and tracing the messages of your own energy during your practice for guidance.

🪷Learn how to bring “a dot of yin” into your strength and stability practices for the breakthrough.

🪷Have a deeper understanding of what it is you want to be strong for, what is yours to carry, and what you can put down.

🪷Understand the meaning of Sankalpa, how to discover your unique Sankalpa, as well as how to incorporate it into your practice effectively as a stabilizing mechanism.

🪷Be able to select essential oils with confidence to enhance both your practice and the vibrational shifts you are working on with for supercharging your transformation and healing.

🪷Have enough of an understanding of your own body and the way you relate to the yoga practices to explore creating an at-home practice for consistency and growth that honors your own timeline.

*This series is intended to offer our group an energetic sanctuary for exploring your threshold for greater strength and stability in a way that feels like coming home to yourself. All levels welcome.

*This is not a bootcamp to become bikini ready, although that could happen, this is a series geared more around setting the foundation for a yoga practice that will help you build strength and stability slow and steady like the great oak tree and honor the body’s messaging for guidance and energetic protection so that you can embody the Dharmic version of Your Self that this Season of Your Life is calling for.

*When we are complete, if you still feel like you need more support, wellness packages are available for individuals and/or groups for those who want to keep practicing in a group format here in the studio.

Yoga opens pathways of possibility for a soul led life because even if the change you desire is external, there are patterns of suffering that are held internally that are tied to what we are attracting externally.

Transformation that lasts starts from within. I am looking forward to sharing what is possible when we keep practicing, even more so when we bring in aromatherapy for support! If you feel ready for some soulful transformation and a month of exploring your threshold towards greater strength & stability…

Namasté,

Rachel
