Welcome to SoulShine!

Class begins with Yin postures and breath work to create a sense of ease and relaxation in the mind and body. After our yin practice we will move into the deeper, and even more restful, practice of Yoga Nidra.

Yin Yoga is a slow, still style of yoga that encourages us to find our individual edge by exploring sensation in different postures. These postures are done on your mat or a blanket, sometimes w/ props, and held for a few minutes. Yin targets connective tissues and promotes a strengthening and lengthening of this complex network. Not only does the practice tend to the body, but the stillness, concentration and introspection help us prepare for meditation.

Cilla is a long time practitioner and teacher of Yoga, Ayurveda and meditation. She studied Psychology at the University of Vermont and later attended Touchstone Healing Arts to study massage and bodywork. She has taken multiple Yoga teacher trainings, and specializes in Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative & Yin Yoga, Marma Point Therapy, and Yoga Nidra. Cilla founded Sukha Yoga in Burlington, VT with her husband Noah in 2015 and continues to offer yoga teacher trainings, continuing education courses, and retreats around the world.

Transformational Breathwork for Rest and Rejuvenation during the Holidays with Laura Neal

Friday 12/22 | 6pm-8pm
Soulshine Burlington | $35

Transformational breathwork is a somatic practice that will guide you out of the mind and into the body. Through this simple, yet profound type of breathwork we will gain access to parts of our subconscious not available in our daily lives. This breathwork touches the spiritual, physical and mental realms and allows us to connect deeper to our hearts and emotions.

The theme for this class will focus on deep rest and rejuvenation, shedding old layers and what is no longer serving us. The holidays can be a draining and exhausting time for many people. Give yourself the gift of slowing down and reconnecting to you as we prepare to enter a new year.

You will be guided through the breath journey using instruments, essential oils, music, movement and grounding touch. There will be time before and after the breathwork to check in and connect with the group.
