Description

Only the essentials will remain when you take off the many layers that obscure and diminish your essence.⁣ There is no time to hide, no time to play small. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘈𝘴𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧:⁣ What lies beneath your protective exterior⁣ Who are you, really? When no one is watching, or waiting, or expecting. ⁣ Who remains when there is nothing else left?⁣ ⁣ Can you stand the heat of transformation⁣ Can you be still in darkness long enough to let it strip you of doubt, fear, and falsehoods? ⁣ ⁣ There is a rumbling coming from the depths⁣ Of the planet, from the womb of Mother Earth. ⁣ Will you give her your attention?⁣ The season of death and rebirth is here.⁣ Transformation is imminent.⁣ ⁣ Dark caves create bare bones.⁣ Bear witness to your resurrection.⁣ The next chapter of your life awaits.⁣ How will you show up?⁣ ⁣ Truth, power, and presence are required now.⁣ These are the essentials. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘠𝘰𝘨𝘢 𝘕𝘪𝘥𝘳𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩.⁣ ⁣ 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 focuses on moving and releasing energy held in our bodies to improve our well-being. Your body is your home—past, present, and future all at once—and whether you realize it or not, it has been quietly collecting the full spectrum of your experiences. Chronic stress, trauma, and painful events or experiences stay with us long after they have transpired. Unresolved, they create blocks and patterns of behavior or thinking that keep us from our highest selves, from reaching professional goals or achieving feelings of peace and contentment that allow our relationships to flourish. Through this practice, you can clear blocks, patterns, and behaviors that keep you from you. Clearing the energy, releasing what is heavy, painful, or stagnant, creates space for what wants to come through you—just like weeding a garden or cleaning your house.⁣ ⁣𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦.⁣ ⁣𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐍𝐢𝐝𝐫𝐚 is a sleep-based meditation that uses a series of body, breath, and awareness techniques to guide you away from your thinking mind and into a deeply healing meditative state.⁣ ⁣ 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐥 began practicing yoga in 2008, starting with asana (postures) and dhyana (meditation). Her practice was initially an exercise that made her feel physically strong, mentally stable, and frankly, overall powerful. As she began to study the history and philosophy of this time-honored practice, she realized that yoga was not simply a workout for the mind and body, but a way of life.⁣ ⁣Mercedes is an E-RYT 200, RYT 500 and has over 1000 hours of teaching experience. She studied with Lynn Matthews in 2013 and 2016 in the Immersion into the Yoga Tradition teaching program. She is also certified in the Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra, studying with Kamini Desai in 2013, completing advanced Nidra training in 2017, and facilitator training in 2018.⁣ ⁣ 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐃. 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫 is a trauma-informed Intuitive Guide, Breathwork Facilitator, and Reiki Master Practitioner. Her spiritual journey began when a medical emergency put her on the path of self-discovery and healing and ultimately led her to develop her practice. She sees herself as a lifelong student deepening her practice through ongoing education and exploration. Intuitive and empathetic, she works with clients individually and in group settings. Trish believes—and knows from experience—that healing oneself ripples outward and is committed to donating a meaningful percentage of her time and proceeds to national and community charities.⁣ ⁣ For everyone's safety, participants will be distanced appropriately, and the class size will be limited.⁣ ⁣Participants will also be asked to bring yoga mats, blankets, a pillow, and an eye covering.⁣ ⁣ 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝟑 𝐩𝐦, 𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟔𝐭𝐡.⁣ ⁣ Open your heart to possibilities and join us!⁣ ⁣ 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦,⁣ 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 & 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩⁣
