Daily Routines to Support Longevity & Health

Monday, January 25th
11:30m - 1:00pm CST

We do routines every day, many out of habit, and without paying attention. When we bring awareness to how we are supporting ourselves we can start to learn ways to bring more skillful action into our days that harness our energy, clears the senses and mind, and supports our body and mind to stay in a state of self-energy healing and wellness. We then notice when we start to shift out of this balanced state much sooner.

Learn about the 6 pillars of Yoga and the Dinacharya (daily routines) of Ayurveda and find a sweet spot to explore that supports the just right stimulus for your next level of growth, wellness, and health. These routines can anchor our rise in the morning and our winding down in the evening and Yoga –the science of Self Realization and Ayurveda the art of self-energy healing and longevity suggest a daily routine to keep us well-nourished and in a state of self-energy healing. These routines support our wellness and full potential as a human being on Earth at this time.

Ignite the Power of Your Breath to Enhance Your Health and Wellness

Thursday, February 25th
12:00pm - 1:00pm CST

Breathing is a vital process that keeps us alive, yet we often do it automatically and take our breath for granted. As we become aware of our breath and learn how to open it up more fully, it changes old, ineffective patterns of breathing and we discover a priceless resource that can help us improve many aspects of our life. Research has revealed many proven health benefits. Breathwork can help relieve stress, stimulate our lymphatic systems, detox our bodies, help us focus, boost our energy and improve our mood.

We will review the importance of our breath and introduce several breathing practices. We will explore Soul Breathing through discussion and experiential exercises and learn how it works on various levels (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual). We will learn about the entrainment principle and vibration. We will discover how conscious breathwork can help us permanently hold a higher level of vibration, and how vibrating from this new place allows us to let go of old patterns that hold us back.
