Uncovering Ground of Being

This past September, I completed my Level 2 Integrative Restoration (iRest) yoga nidra training. It was in San Rafael, California. I came away with a lot, for my personal practice, as well as for private sessions. The focus on this training was more focused on one-on-one sessions, less-so on applying it to a group (like the level 1 training).

Since September, I have been taking a course at the Health Sciences called Spiritual Diversity. I'm learning how to offer spiritual care to patients who are dying, or going through major health issues, along with the spiritual and emotional questions that arise. And yes, I have been incorporating yoga nidra in my interactions with patients. I am constantly blown away by how powerful a practice it is. Simply by asking, 'where do you feel___ in your body?', so often, people are able to transform something that previously felt completely oppressive.

I'm always looking for new clients for the one-on-one yoga nidra sessions, so if you are interested, let me know. I also intend to host a workshop about yoga nidra and Body Sensing yoga in January, and offering weekly classes from that point.

Peace

Movements in Awareness yoga CD now available!



I spent most of November and December recording, mixing and designing this CD with ET Nada of Clear Light Sound. I'm very happy with how it has turned out. I hope that those who have purchased it so far are enjoying it too.

If interested, it is available at La Parfumerie and Prairie Sky Books for $20.

I will be posting workshop dates in the next few weeks.
