We are summoned to be more caring and present with our breath from this respiratory virus and the other stresses of this unique time.Yoga has special tools to develop our respiratory capacity which we will explore in this workshop.  Combined with asana (yoga postures) and inward attention, yoga breathing practices (pranayama)are uniquely suited to refine our physiology as well as focus the mind.

You will learn more about your respiratory system from information as well as through yoga practice. This workshop will combine breath and movement in asana to prepare for seated pranayama in two short practices which explore all aspects of the breath.

You can use the breath to energize or to relax your system, so we will learn a short practice for each purpose which includes five postures to prepare for a five-minute pranayama practice.

And, take the challenge…of doing a ten-minute practice daily for two weeks until we reconvene for an hour to hear of your experiences and reinforce the practices.

You will receive written copies and have access to recordings of each short practice to continue your exploration.

Dawn Summers, YACEP, ERYT-500, is a certified Yoga Therapist who has been teaching yoga since becoming an Integral Yoga teacher in 1985. She has been a senior faculty in Teachers Training and Yoga Therapists Training Programs for the AmericanViniyoga Institute.  She teaches classes through Ocean Yoga and works privately with individual students.

TRE® (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises)

Enroll

$39

TRE® is a simple, gentle and profound technique that facilities the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional tension and stress. The TRE® exercises mildly tire the legs, triggering an involuntary shaking and trembling response, which begins in the legs and often spreads throughout the body. This natural response is the nervous system’s way of discharging long-held tension and unconscious body contraction, caused by everyday stress and traumatic life experiences, in order to restore the body to wholeness.

TRE® was developed by Dr. David Berceli, a bio-energetic therapist and social worker, who used it successfully worldwide working with soldiers, firefighters, police officers and survivors of war, natural disasters and other traumatic circumstances to help alleviate the many symptoms of post-traumatic stress. TRE® is taught in over 60 countries worldwide.

Reported benefits include:

  • decrease anxiety
  • release chronic tension
  • discharge emotional and physical trauma
  • increase energy and flexibility
  • improve sleep and mood
  • decrease of aches, pains and symptoms of fibromyalgia and sciatica

This workshop is suitable for all ages and fitness levels as the exercises can be modified to accommodate any body’s need.

CEU certificate available upon request from the teacher for to psychotherapists and massage therapists.
