Welcome to SoulShine!

Join Bridget for a special 2-hour Restorative and Yoga Nidra class themed around the autumn equinox. This serene evening is designed to help you find balance and harmony as we transition into a new season. The class will conclude with a soothing offering of tea and a grounding snack to enhance your sense of relaxation and well-being.
What to Expect:
The class will begin with 60 minutes of Restorative Yoga, where you will be guided through gentle, supported poses held for extended periods to promote deep relaxation and release tension. Following this, we will transition into Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, a guided meditation lasting about 45 minutes that induces a state of conscious relaxation, helping you achieve profound rest and rejuvenation. The final 15 minutes will be dedicated to enjoying a calming tea and a grounding snack, allowing you to fully absorb the benefits of your practice.
Reserve your spot today and embrace the equinox with a renewed sense of peace and balance.

Buti Yoga and Sound Bath with Rachel Cowan & Jessica Williams

Friday, October 4th

7 - 8:30pm
SoulShine Essex | $40

Go on a journey of feeling your aliveness and then melting into bliss.
Join Rachel Cowan and special guest Jessica Williams (@jessdoesyogatoo) for an evening of Buti yoga and Sound Bath.
For the first half of the evening, Jess will lead Buti yoga, which is a unique practice, known for its cardio-intensive bursts of tribal dance, primal movement, and conditioning. As we move through this transformative practice we will empower ourselves to release tension and limitations. Buti is built upon the “Spiral Structure Technique” which is used to sculpt and tone the deep abdominal muscles, improve flexibility, and increase endurance. The word "buti" is a Marathi Indian term that means "the cure to something that's been hidden away or kept secret.”
The second half of the evening, Rachel will guide the group into restorative rest and peaceful meditation. The sound bath will include her set of nine Chakra Crystal Singing bowls, gongs, and chimes.
The sound bath is like a soothing vibrational massage after joyful movement and will heighten our inner sense of vitality and connection to life force.

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.
