Upcoming Workshops

Yin Yoga & Myofascial Release with Christie Spring

Friday, October 25th

6 - 7:30pm | SoulShine Essex | $25

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced form of yoga that targets the deeper connective tissues of the body (ligaments, joints, bones, cartilage, & the deep fascia networks of the body). All tissues, including our deeper tissues, require appropriate and informed exercise to regain and maintain optimal health. Within this practice, poses primarily occur from the ground, with longer holds (3-5 minutes) for each pose.

In this unique yin workshop, students will be invited to participate in the down-regulation of their nervous system while opening to the release of the physiological fascial networks, which are often a culprit of chronic tension in the body through contraction that occurs with aging. By working directly with fascial tissue using tennis balls provided as myofascial release tools, the cells of the body's connective tissues will be encouraged to reorganize in a skillful and health-promoting way.
Through both longer-held yin poses and gentle guided movements that help cultivate fascial release, students will also be invited to directly connect with the nourishing & powerful cosmic-borne technology of the breath to improve the flow of vitalizing energy throughout the entire body.
Divergent from an active asana practice that is a common approach to yoga in our fast-paced society, yin yoga invites us to rediscover this other half to yoga asana, which cultivates balance and stimulates resiliency for our bodies, hearts, and minds to help us connect back to our wholeness.

Restorative Yoga & Sound Bath with Rachel Cowan

Friday, March 14th

7 - 8:30pm
SoulShine Essex | $35

Restorative Yoga is a quiet, contemplative practice where postures are held for an extended time with the body supported by props, to help calm the mind, down regulate the nervous system and to allow the body to open and relax without effort. Rachel will play singing sound bowls throughout to bathe you in soothing and healing vibrations.
