Love (Higher Self) Lecture<\/b> \u2013 includes self-affirmations to use for when the ego feels triggered. Handouts attached.<\/p>\n Self-Care with Ayurveda<\/b> \u2013 Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga. It is the oldest medical system on the planet. This lecture includes a quiz for students to understand their Ayurvedic dosha and information on keeping their dosic constitution balanced. I include the practice of Abhyanga, a self-massage technique using herbal oils that are specific to the participant\u2019s dosha. This can be followed by restorative yoga, which is very slow, meditative, and nourishing.<\/p>\n Laughter Yoga<\/b> \u2013 the practice of pure joy and playfulness. This is great for group bonding at an opening circle. It opens hearts, minds, and lifts spirits. Awesome ice breaker.<\/p>\n Koshas<\/b> \u2013 the five layers of the human experience and how to practice self-care for every part of your being. I believe that this is information every person should have to understand themselves better. Ancient wisdom for our modern lives.<\/p>\n Yoga Nidra<\/b> \u2013 Also known as yogic sleep this is a guided meditation designed specifically to calm the nervous system and create deep nourishing rest. Good for the last part of the day, can be combined with sound healing.<\/p>\n Sound Bath<\/b> \u2013 Euphoric and transformational just begin to describe this opportunity to release that which no longer serves our highest and greatest good. Participants enjoy the sounds of antique Tibetan singing bowls, alchemy quartz crystal singing bowls, koshi chimes and symphonic gongs. These healing vibrations will touch every cell of the physical body while balancing our energetic, spiritual, and emotional selves.<\/p>\n Art Therapy<\/b> \u2013 Using the right side of our brain is important. It\u2019s the part of the brain that remembers we are connected to everyone and everything. It\u2019s often a place where people feel challenged and have little breakthroughs. We tend to lose touch with our creative side as we age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n *Subject to Michigan 6% sales tax, 3% Mackinac Island assessment, and a $12.00 per person, per stay, baggage-handling charge.
