Workshop | Saturday, June 2, 2024
1–3:30pm | $57 registration requested

As we prepare for the coming heat and long summer days, we can adapt our lifestyle to live in harmony with the seasons rather than fighting our way through and exhausting ourselves in the process. 

By supporting ourselves in harmony with nature, we sleep more easily, feel well-rested, nourish our bodies, minds, and emotions, and find renewed energy to live joyfully.  This workshop will support you as you find more balance, joy, and wellness.

In this workshop, discover key principles of Ayurveda, including seasonal and daily routines to help you find and maintain balance as you transition through the seasons. Aimee will guide the conversation as we explore how to support and enhance your practice, your life, and your ease in your relationship with Mother Nature. This workshop will include a 45-minute practice suitable for all levels of yoga.

Yoga Alliance CEU is available upon request.

Meet Aimee, a seasoned practitioner and devoted guide on the transformative journey of yoga. Introduced to the practice at the nimble age of twelve, Aimee's unwavering commitment to yoga has shaped her into a certified Yoga Therapist recognized by IAYT, where she specializes in the Viniyoga tradition, honing her expertise at the Yoga Well Institute under the guidance of Chase Bossart.  Aimee also is an E-RYT 500 and YACEP (continuing education provider) accredited by Yoga Alliance.

A perpetual student, Aimee's spiritual quest extends beyond borders as she weekly immerses herself in Vedic chanting with Ms. Suhasini Krishnan at Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India. Mentored by Laura Jane Mellencamp of Yoga Among Friends, Aimee is a conduit of traditional classical yoga, sharing the profound wisdom and healing inherent in this ancient practice.

In her role as a Yoga Therapist, Aimee works intimately with individuals and small groups, crafting sessions that reflect her deep understanding of the human spirit and the therapeutic power of yoga. Additionally, Aimee offers Ayurvedic Counseling, Panchakarma therapies, and is committed to continuing her own education as she completes certification as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and continues studying with her teachers, both in the US and India. 

Driven by the belief that one can experience "sukha" (good space), Aimee encourages her students to explore their unique paths and dharma on this earthly journey. Beyond the physical postures, Aimee's teachings traverse the subtle realms of breath, mind, spirit, and inner space, illuminating the profound connections that lead to balance, joy, and clarity in life.

Grateful for the profound gifts of Yoga and Ayurveda, Aimee is passionately dedicated to passing along the rich ideas, traditions, and philosophy embedded in these ancient practices. As she guides her students towards their own space of ease, Aimee remains a beacon of inspiration, embodying the transformative power of yoga on and off the mat.

Embark on a journey to holistic well-being through the transformative power of sound. Presence, the art of embracing the here and now, unfolds as tonal vibrations guide awareness inward during our immersive sound bath event. Release past and future fixations, allowing your consciousness to unfold naturally. Reconnect with your true nature beyond identifications, where insights and creativity blossom. Saturate yourself in the harmonious embrace of ambient sounds from gongs, didgeridoo, flute, hand-pan, singing bowls, and drums…all crafted to rebalance your body-mind-spirit connection.

Treat yourself and expand your awareness with five large gongs, didgeridoo, drums, flute, and more in combination with a soothing guided meditation. The event will be geared toward a complete recharge and re-boot of your body-mind-spirit connection and mobilizing and accessing your resources to inner healing and expansion.

The event is about 90 minutes in duration and includes 3 segments, the first 2 are about 15 - 20 minutes in duration, and the following sound bath fills the remainder:

The sequence is:

• 1st Segment – the introduction - participants receive a general overview of sound therapy and how the upcoming meditation and Sound Bath experience work together to facilitate a personal transformation, evolution, and healing method within the conscious mind, followed by

• 2nd Segment – a carefully chosen guided meditation that primes the subconscious mind to transition into the essential personal transformation experience brought on by the healing sounds in the…

• 3rd Segment – the sound bath where guests flow in a stream of ancestral and otherworldly sounds generated by several large gongs (44” to 28”), one of man’s oldest therapeutic instruments, singing bowls, bells, chimes, tuning forks, ocean drum, rattles, and other sound tools. Our sound space envelopes listeners in a uniquely rhythmic, melodic, and pleasing fashion while the gong’s vibrational and sonic characteristics deeply resonate and harmonize all 50+ trillion cells of the body. The experience energizes and relaxes simultaneously in a most powerful and unique way and invites a natural synchronization of the brain's right and left hemispheres.

Combined, these powerful elements facilitate a change in one’s nature of being and potentially restore an intrinsic state of inner balance, homeostasis. Throughout, you will be introduced to mindfulness techniques of a sonic nature. The only requirement for you to benefit is to bring an open mind, wear comfortable clothing, and come with a mat, pillow, and blanket to cover up (all optional).

Marian generates a broad spectrum of fascinating rhythms and functional harmonics by exploring the full range of frequencies within his instruments ranging from shimmering explosive highs to deep mysterious lows.
