April Sound Bath with Kerry Dorey

Join sound practitioner Kerry Dorey for a potent, sound healing experience. You will be guided into a supportive and comfortable position. With stillness in the physical body, Kerry will guide you through a sound journey using a plethora of instruments, singing bowls, and voice. Kerry will explain the intention and potential healing benefits of sound. This is a wonderful discovery of our relationship to sound and its capacity for curiosity, meditation and relaxation.

Every sound in our daily life is a result of vibration. As we learn to concentrate and focus our attention on sounds that exist without and within we can also learn to access a deeper connection with ourselves as well as with others. How do these “vibes” affect us and what can we observe ? A Sound Bath can give us the opportunity in a safe space to explore a journey through healing sounds and textures that can elicit discovery, connection and a sense of wonder. I am thrilled to have this opportunity and to explore this journey with you.

Saturday April 12th 1:00pm - 4:00pm 

Jivamukti Chakra Tuning Practice

During this 3-hour Jivamukti Yoga workshop, we begin with a discussion of the Chakras and then explore these seven doors of perception—from the root to the crown—using high intention, asana, pranayama, bija mantra, and other meditation techniques. 

Through these various techniques, we will work on tuning or purifying the Chakras by energetically inhabiting each of these seven centers and addressing the disconnect in our relationships. We may come to understand the possible root causes of our emotional, mental, and physical challenges. This practice will encourage healing and a change in perception to make way for discovering our higher Self.

Tina will finish with shamanic Meditation.

Sunday April 13th 1:00pm - 4:00pm 

Ashtanga & Vedic Chanting

Join us for an immersive weekend of Ashtanga Yoga, a profound and ancient style of yoga designed to bring unity to body, mind, and spirit. Originating thousands of years ago, Ashtanga follows a systematic approach rooted in tradition, with each movement and breath working together to purify and strengthen your whole being.

We will delve into the Standing Series of Ashtanga “Yoga Therapy,” a sequence of asanas (postures) designed to detoxify, build strength, and improve flexibility.

Whether you’re new to Ashtanga or looking to deepen your practice, this workshop  offers a balanced exploration of this timeless tradition. Expect time to practice postures, learn philosophy, have time for self-reflection, and physical renewal.  Be guided towards peace, clarity, and vitality in all that you do.

This workshop can deepen your appreciation and understanding of Yoga in a gentle and supportive way.  As a beginner you will learn key concepts and poses without feeling overwhelmed.  Tina will use modifications where needed.

We will be practicing pranayama and vedic chanting.

Step into this sacred space and recharge your soul in the magical landscape of the beautiful mountains.

Join me on a journey of body, mind & spirit as we delve into accessing new spiritual horizons through daily Yoga practices and Ceremony. There will be guided Transformational Breath Sessions.

October Expansions Practice : Homecoming
Oct
20
9:00 AM09:00

October Expansions Practice : Homecoming

Our yoga practice is often framed as a way of coming home to one's self. We learn to withdraw our attention from a chaotic outer life and, just for a moment, come home to the present. But what happens when ideas of where home is and how we can find it are interrupted? Community, family, land, culture, the body, the breath... all these and more can be reliable sources of refuge, but all these are also subject to change. As much as those places we call "home" are necessary and supportive, displacement from that source of "home" is often an uncomfortable reality.

We might expand our view by considering how the theme of displacement plays out in life, both locally or abroad. Entire peoples around the world long for a home that can never be reclaimed exactly as it was. In what ways is the longing for home an essential human experience, and in what ways does this longing differ between peoples?

Yoga is a practice of homecoming, and while on its own cannot fix imminent problems, it offers a place to inquire into these questions and expand our worldview with compassion. The October Expansions class will be an exploration of what home and homecoming might mean in the face of modern life, displacement, and the certainty of change. In addition to soulful conversation, expect to explore these questions in the body through a deep, well-rounded practice.

September Expansions Practice : All Things Auspicious

September Expansions Practice : All Things Auspicious

Join Village Yoga and local teacher David Cross for a full three hour long practice.

"Shri" is a Sanskrit word meaning auspicious, resplendent, radiant, prosperous... In some contexts, it is used to refer to the Goddess of prosperity herself, Lakshmi. While this word oftens refers to all the things we want by way of material abundance, a deeper view held by many Indian traditions is that all reality is itself auspicious.... The good, and the not-so-good. All things, auspicious. How can we hold this idea in a way that doesn't diminish the reality of the hardship that, sooner or later, finds its way to our doorstep? How might this perspective enrich, rather than bypass?

We will begin class together by contemplating this idea... and then move on to doing all the things we wish class would include but is never long enough for: a long warm-up, alignment geek-outs, explorations of advanced asana, and a long closing sequence complete with meditation and a yoga nidra practice.

Seasonal-appropriate drinks will be provided, weather-depending ;)

September Sound Bath with Kerry Dorey

September Sound Bath with Kerry Dorey

Join Village Yoga and sound healer Kerry Dorey for a potent, sound healing experience.

You will be guided into a supportive and comfortable position. With stillness in the physical body, Kerry will guide you through a sound journey using a plethora of instruments, singing bowls, and voice. Kerry will explain the intention and potential healing benefits of sound. This is a wonderful discovery of our relationship to sound and its capacity for curiosity, meditation and relaxation.

“ Every sound in our daily life is a result of vibration. As we learn to concentrate and focus our attention on sounds that exist without and within we can also learn to access a deeper connection with ourselves as well as with others. How do these “vibes” affect us and what can we observe ? A Sound Bath can give us the opportunity in a safe space to explore a journey through healing sounds and textures that can elicit discovery, connection and a sense of wonder. I am thrilled to have this opportunity and to explore this journey with you. "
