Outdoor Aerials & Learn to Meditate Workshop
Ever thought you can’t meditate or don’t have time to Meditate?
I can show you that you can, and show you that you will gain more time if you DO meditate.
Combine the total relaxation of our Outdoor Restorative Aerial Yoga practice with Mindfulness Meditation and you have complete Bliss!
Mindful Meditation is a practice that anyone can do and benefit from. However, some people say they can’t meditate or there is a lot of confusion around this very simple practice.
This workshop will teach you in a clear, simple and easy way how to begin your practice of meditation so you are able to do it anytime you wish on your own.
With a fresh perspective on what mindfulness is, we will provide powerful, direct methods that will show you how to meditate deeply using either guided meditation or mindfulness meditation with the added benefit of the relaxing gentle movement in the hammocks.
Imagine resting comfortably in the hammock with the warm Spring breeze blowing, listening to the sounds of nature, birds singing, and a gentle voice guiding you to relaxation and mindfulness.
Mindfulness Meditation will help you to live more peacefully, enjoy your life more fully and experience more happiness and have better health.
All with a small time investment, starting with as little as 5 minutes per day and gradually building to about 30 minutes per day.

Building Blocks to Inversions Workshop
Who needs to do inversions? Everyone, including you. In addition to the benefit of creating a strong body, inversions are an important release for tension. They create calm by helping you to see your own potential to work on a single focus for a prolonged time. If you want to master your reactivity, emotions and build the strength necessary to do inversions (handstand, forearm balance, etc), this class will teach you the fundamentals. Special care will be given to wrist and forearm strengthening and mobility and how to incorporate what you learn into your other movement disciplines.
Fee: TBA (all auto-pay clients get 10% off each purchase) Both Inversion workshops discounted price $56.00
