Source•Point: Self Care for Manifesting the Blueprint of Health with Deanna Clasby
May
18
When: Saturday, May 18th, 12:30 -3:00 pm
Cost: $40
This workshop will explore using points & sacred geometry in the human energy field to connect the human body to the blueprint of health. Students will learn to use their own Guardian Points, Naval Point, Sacral Points, & Diamond Points that contain the information of order, balance harmony & flow.
"The growing interest in the field of Energy Medicine indicates a desire for an integral approach to healing, one where the physical body and the human energy field are recognized as aspects of each other, where energy and matter are experienced as one, where the energetic is not neglected in favor of the physical, or vice versa.
SourcePoint Therapy offers this integral approach. The primary assumption in this work is that there is an energetic template or blueprint of health for the human body that can be accessed to restore and maintain the health of that body and connect people to their natural state of order, harmony, balance and flow."
- Bob Schrei, Creator of Source • Point Therapy

Introduction to Kundalini Yoga with Ruby Koa, RYT & IKYTA certified
TBA
When: Date TBA, likely mid June on a Sunday, 1:00-4:00
Cost: $25 early bird discount, $30 at the door. $5 off for students/unemployed
Kundalini Yoga is a unique and integrative practice open to all levels of students who wish to expand their minds and energy levels. The physical benefits include a big dose of goodness to all your bodily systems - especially your immune system, glandular system, and nervous system. Mental/Emotional benefits include lowering anxiety, increased clarity in decision-making, and an increase in your intuition. Spiritual benefits include awakening your spirit to more capacity for compassion, love, and unity.
In this workshop you'll learn the basics of this style of yoga: the background and lineage, the most often used mantras, warm up exercises, breathing techniques, mudras (hand positions) and bandhas (energy locks). Then we'll do a few kriyas and meditations designed to give you a beautiful overview and experience of Kundalini Yoga. A kriya is a specific set of yoga poses or moves, done in a specific order, for a specific time, for a specific purpose. Each kriya and meditation, while being great for the whole of you, works on something specific - for example: disease resistance, heart and lung health, strengthening the aura, emotional balance, etc. The best way to understand Kundalini Yoga is to do it and this is a great opportunity for you to experience it and it's benefits for you! You'll also receive a handout that will help you to start a home practice and give you something to reference anytime you attend a mixed level Kundalini Yoga class. To register, email Ruby at kokoroyoga@gmail.com or visit her at Inspire Studio.
