BENEFITS OF YOGA AND MEDITATIONYoga’s incorporation of meditation and breathing can help improve a person’s mental well-being. Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration. Body and self-awareness are particularly beneficial because they can help with early detection of physical problems and allow for early preventive action. The purpose of yoga is to build strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body. During this mini retreat you will be guided through an all levels gentle vinyassa flow. This flow is designed to connect breath with movement in order to reach new levels of strength, power, flexibility, and peace in poses. THERAPEUTIC ARTLet's get creative! During the art making process, you will be guided to express yourself through a painting exercise. We will focus on the PROCESS of creativiy rather than the PRODUCT of creativity. This means, you will have an opportunity to embrace imperfection and practice acceptance of self. No artistic skill is necessary. Benifits of art making include increased self-esteem and personal insight, along with feelings of acomplishment, relaxation and practicing mindfulness. SOUND MEDITATION & CACAOOften times, it can be challenging to sit or lay in stillness. Incorporating the vibration and sound of crystal sing bowls allows many to deepen their state of relaxation. Cacao is chocolate in its purest form. You will be offered a warm, nutritious, chocolate drink called Cacao. Many people find cacao provides a warm, heart opening affect to their physical being which aids in deepening their state of relaxation. With both sound and cacao, we hope to take you on a journey fill with peace and tranquility.
