Yoga + Live Music w/ Tara + Hope
Feb 26 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
One World Brewing West

Yoga & Live Music w/ Tara & Hope

Wandering through this life we connect with the magic of the elements of nature. Through the earth, our breath, yoga and sweet music we ground deep in our roots. We return to our heart space. The air is wild, free and full of possibility. Water nourishes our souls while reminding us to go with the flow… We ignite the fire of passion and light an awakening within, becoming one with the elements and connecting under one sun with one voice. Join International Yoga Instructor Tara Eschenroeder (aka “Great Abiding Yoga”) and Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Hope Griffin for a yoga flow with live music. May we align our breath to free movement and the rhythm of our hearts!

 

From a primal flow to the beat of finger tapping, to a gentle meditative dance to harmonics, to meditation to the croons of the guitar, to the transcendental hum of the voice of an angel, the rhythms of the music guide us as we connect with our own internal rhythms and sense of knowing.

 

Hope and Tara will take you on a journey of the senses. While drinking in the sacred sounds of the music, we take that the ability to listen and to feel even deeper within. We tap into that intuitive sense of knowing; how and when to move and when to be still. Allow yourself to reconnect to that sacred animal within, ultimately reminding us how to simply be both on and off of the yoga mat.

The Super Glow Breathwork Experience
Mar 12 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Altar Alchemy

The Super Glow Breathwork Experience

The Super Glow Breathwork Experience: The Special Crystal Circuit, Healing Breathwork Journey

Our Signature Breathwork Journey for Vitality & Holistic Healing. We are very excited to invite you to join us in community for breathwork in front of a super powerful, high vibration crystal altar at Altar Alchemy. To breathe in front of this sacred altar is what we call “The Crystal Circuit”.

To practice with the breath is to practice connecting to the truth within. It’s to let go of all that’s ready to be released and open to that which is ready to be born. In this workshop we will be utilizing the scientifically proven, potent and effective modality of rebirthing breathwork to unveil and release stagnancy lingering in the body, mind, and spirit. By opening ourselves to the power of breath we are able to manually remove these energetic blockages, making available a clearer psyche and creative life force. This practice is transformational, insightful, a pathway for infinite possibility and heightened consciousness.

Breathwork’s natural benefits:

Rewire your emotional default settings

Stimulate your immune system

Open up to more life force energy

Clear patterns of sadness/anxiety/depression/addiction

Improve sleep

Detoxify your mind/body/spirit

Gain access to a greater sense of aliveness

Promote feelings of aliveness, peace & connection

Connect you to self-knowledge/intuition/higher wisdom

Awaken your authentic & embodied self

Discover your innate authenticity, freedom & joy

Help access your creativity & open your heart to deep gratitude & self-love

Breathwork is a safe & simple experiential process. During the breathwork session we breathe lying down for over an hour. This practice is available to everyone regardless of ability, age or experience.

We will use a connected & conscious breathing rhythm called “circular breath” to flood the body with O2. In addition, for those who desire It, you will be supported with our powerful, hands on reiki & energy work during the session. This breathwork journey will last for approximately 70 minutes and will be accompanied by a powerful musical playlist to assist the journey. There will be an opening & closing circle, before and after, to share intentions, guidance and reflections.

Come and explore the emotional, spiritual and transpersonal realms and come home to your own truth. Wear loose & comfortable clothing so that you can breathe & move without restriction. You will want to bring your own yoga mat, or anything that would help you to deepen into relaxation.

All are welcome. Join us!

“One breathing session was more powerful and beneficial to me than months of talk therapy! Brian & Annie are amazing!” -Stephanie F.

“Powerful work last night. I have not felt so safe and relaxed anytime in recent memory. The energy work that you two provided throughout the breathing process was exactly what I needed at those moments. I swear that I felt my muscles relaxing from the inside out of my chest and back. Thanks to Annie and Brian!” -Patrick C

“Thank you Annie and Brian for holding such a safe, supportive, healing space. What a powerful experience for me! I’m still feeling the effects from it.” -Julia P.

Brian & Annie have been leading workshops around the world for over fifteen years combined and are excited to share this special evening with you!
