5-Day Yoga Journey - To Be Genuine
<p>Early morning yoga to start your day every day for 5 days in a row. Having had a life-changing experience at my Immersion retreat to become certified as a yoga teacher, where we co-created a safe space that fostered deep transformation, I intend to co-create that same sort of space in these 5-Day Yoga Journeys. We share the universal spiritual principles of yoga and how they apply to our modern lives and then take our shared intentions and insights into an asana practice.</p><p> <u>To Be Genuine - 5-Day Yoga Journey - December 6-10, 6:30AM-7:30AM, the Studio at Illuminations, Cherry Building</u></p><p>https://lionheartcoaching.org/5-dayyogajourney</p><p>What does it mean to be Genuine? The word "genuine" means real, authentic. It brings to mind someone without pretenses, without subterfuge or hidden agendas.</p><p>How often to bring up veils of protection that hide our genuine selves? How often do we censor what we tell people (or share on social media) so that we present a picture of a happy person?</p><p>What if, in our fear of showing our genuine selves, we're depriving the world of our raw, authentic beauty, even if it's difficult to show? I invite you to show up genuinely, in a safe, judgement free space. I invite you to show up because this is how I’m going to show up - warts, weaknesses, strengths and gifts and all.</p><p>In this 5-Day Yoga Journey, we will share a practice that includes contemplation, meditation, breathing exercises, mantras, and asana (vinyasa, power, yin). An early morning session, 5 days in a row, designed to create a retreat-like atmosphere. A 5 day commitment to help foster growth and healing.</p><p>About David: David teaches a mixture of yoga styles. Power, vinyasa, restorative, yin. There will be times when the asanas (poses) will be active. Modifications will be offered – and highly encouraged. Every body is unique. Your version of a pose will be different than everyone else’s. You will be encouraged to do your yoga – and fully accepted for whatever that is.</p><p>Cost is $75 for 5 days. </p><p>David Gustafson teaches a mixture of yoga styles.

Winter Solstice: Opening to the Light Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p>Like plants opening to light, so we—amid the strain of pandemic, political strife and other life storms—seek revitalizing ways to heal, rest, release, open, transform and renew. This deeply nourishing retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) offers such healing. It offers invitation to holistically perceive, experience and re-identify with what ancient spiritual wisdom traditions, mystics, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and quantum physics have been trying to tell us: that all of creation, including our own embodied beings, is vibrating energy or Light. Also how our separate sense of self is an illusion because this Light, Qi or indwelling life force energy weaves us as One. Join facilitator Dr. Catherine Quehl-Engel for a weekend of Light, ease-filled lightness of being, and both personally and collectively experiencing mystical union with the Sacred in creation and in our bodies, minds and souls. Offerings include: TCM energy-based meditative Yin Yoga and Qigong for opening energy pathways for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing; night prayers with compassionate embrace of life’s night seasons, Mystery and dark nights of the soul; star gazing and inter-spiritual ways of praying with (and learning from) quiet Earth, animals, moon and sky amid winter stillness; healing energy transmission; and resting in sublime serenity and Theta/Delta brainwave states through Yogic Sleep and soothing Vibrational Sound Healing for release of stress, communing with the Sacred, and planting the seed of re-identification with Light and more ease-filled ways of being within the subconscious. The cost is $230 and includes sessions, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes sessions, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-10-09 13:00:00 -0500
