    This is a part of the men's retreat series, however, anyone can do this practice. The screen is darkened and this is a tension-release practice that may help you drop into sleep. We do a squeeze and relax practice with breath. This is a mindfulness practice as well.

  • Oct 7: Visualizing Your Dreams & Calming Breath (28 min)

    This is more of a cooling, down regulating breathwork practice filmed on the heels of a full moon. We use cooling breath, "moon piercing" breath and visualization to evoke calmness around a chosen dream. The invitation is to visualize a dream of yours, notice your inner critic - and do it anyway.

  • Oct 2: Gut-Brain. Serotonin & Gratitude Breathwork (30 min)

    We focus on the gut and breathwork with the knowledge that the "gut brain" is where 90% of our serotonin is produced. What also has been shown to stimulate serotonin? Gratitude. The two are mixed together in today's practice.

    This is not a yoga class, although we do some yoga poses, it is a quick "flush" practice with the intention of moving physical and mental tension out of the way. We thump the heels, shake limbs, spring/jump, squat, get into the hips and glutes and breathe.

  • Sept 11: Becoming Seaweed: Calm Breath & Embodiment (30 min)

  • Sept 10: Ahimsa (Non-Violence) & Advanced Breathwork (30 min)

    Ahimsa means non-violence - but what does this mean to practice it? We weave this invitation into today's hybrid breath practice of advanced Surya Kriya AND Wim Hof breathwork.

  • Sept 10: A Practice for when you're exhausted (35 min)

    This is a practice that is useful if you are exhausted and barely feeling like practicing. You are pooped out from your work week or emotionally/physically exhausted and have zero motivation. We do Child's Pose, a gentle backbend, supported bridge, a gentle twist, and a forward fold.

  • Sept 3: Restorative + Breath Practice (33 min)

    This is a chilled out restorative practice where we get into your inner groins, hamstrings, spine and hips. I encourage a 4-8 or 5-10 count breath that helps turn on the parasympathetic nervous system.
