Take this opportunity to root down and feel more centred, peaceful and at ease in this specialty class. At the start, you will be invited to the ritual of cleansing using white sage. We will then practice dynamic and still yoga poses and breathwork to help you turn inward, release restless energy, and feel more grounded and present. In the second part of the class, Eve will explain and guide you on a Shamanic Journey. Journeying is a way to help you find answers and access inner wisdom through a meditative state, using the Buffalo Drum. After the Shamanic Journey, you are invited to write your experience in your journal and share your thoughts with the circle. This class offers props and plenty of modifications to support your body.

Sunday, March 10/24 From 2:00-4:00 pm
Investment: $40 per person
Led by Eve Carty, RYT-500
Join us for some mindful movement and drum healing in this specialty class! Slow Flow Yoga is all about slowing down and concentrating on your mind-body connection. In this practice, you will warm up your muscles gradually, hold poses for longer and have more time to adjust and breathe.
This all-levels practice will help prepare your body for the Reiki Drumming portion where you will be lying down for approximately 40 minutes.
"Reiki drumming combines life force energy (reiki) with sound waves from the medicine drum amplifying the healing experience. Reiki drumming facilitates deep relaxation and stress relief." Drumming Reiki is all about the medicine of the drum and the reiki powers combining to bring you back to your own inner wisdom and guidance. The vibration from the drum promotes healing and will help you feel grounded, present, and connected. This class offers props and plenty of modifications to support your body. Students of all levels are welcome.
