This 4 session series will explore the use of Viniyoga principles to help you develop a yoga practice that is beneficial and satisfying. Sessions will address low back discomfort, hip and shoulder tension and stress management.

The essence of Viniyoga is a practice that, through posture adaptation, respects and adjusts to the individual. The postures adaptation process accounts for differences in an individual’s gender, age, aspiration, experience, time and activities. A Viniyoga practice guides the practitioner, through increased self-awareness, to asana that maximize their benefit to the individual. These benefits may be for the body through posture, for the spirit through calming or energizing breathwork, or for the mind through rest or meditation. Often the benefits are a personalized combination of the three.

Single session, $25.00, All 4 classes, $85.00

Yoga for Yogis is a full spectrum meditative experience.

In the next installment of this offering, Ryan will be adding the elements of color therapy, the room will be lit a deep Root Chakra red, the mantra we work with will be the mantra of the Root Chakra (Red) and the intention will be for the removing of the obstacles of karmic cycle, and inviting the obstacles associated with purity of intent.

We will begin with 45 Min. of the Tandava practice, a basic Yoga flow incorporating Bhanda, Mantra, Pranayam and the advanced Breathwork techniques Ryan Often shares on Saturday Mornings. From there, he will grab his guitar and guide us through 30 min. of chanting the mantra of Transformation and Grace. We will close with 15 min. of silent meditation, to fully absorb the mobilized pranic currents.

Meditation does not come easy for many, this delivery is designed to solve that. Simple follow Ryan’s guidance and you will naturally end up in a meditative state of loving awareness.

Ryan facilitates a variety of yogic experiences, here, he is putting all together for us to practice yoga as it was originally intended. To meditate. Instead of rushing off into our lives, extended space will be created for reflection and presence.

You will experience stillness, love, joy, and an unparalleled level of peace. Bring your Stress and anxiety with you, and leave it all in the breathing room so you can return to your life fully grounded, deeply calm, and ready to think and feel clearly.

Ryan Hader has been crafting his unique brand of musical mantra magic for almost two decades. Together with the Backward Echo Band, Ryan offers regular Kirtan events featuring call and response chanting of mantras rooted in ancient yogic traditions.

All ARE WELCOME!

Do you find that someone else’s strong feelings can make you doubt your own? Do you have a hard time knowing what YOU want, but are always really clear what everyone else wants? Are you constantly monitoring the emotional state of the room? Then you’re an empath. You have a superpower- the ability to read the emotions of those around you. But it’s also your kryptonite because it can overwhelm you and keep you from being able to focus on yourself.

In this program, you’ll get specific instructions on how to work with your own energy field to completely change your experience of life without losing your superpower.

You will learn:

• how the empath’s energy field operates and why.
• how to recognize when your field is causing you to reach states of overwhelm and how to effectively change the way in which you operate.
• how to Identify where your energy field is and how to pull it in to shield yourself from the emotions of others.
• how to check in on your friends and family from a distance without draining your energy.

As a bonus, this course comes with an online portal that has the course material built in, so you may refer back to it after the course has completed.

This Class will be taught by J.D. Radewan, Arise Balanced Wellness affiliate. Transformational Coach, Author, Intuitive Healer, Psychic and Co-Host of the Spirit Guides Mystical Mondays Podcast. After going through a Spiritual Awakening in 2017 J.D. dedicated his life to the Spiritual Path and now Teaches from the experience of his own Journey.
