Want to feel like you got a couple extra hours of deep sleep?? Who doesn't?!

In our modern lives, everything seems to come before your own well-being.

We've got a way for you to catch up.

Jane's Yoga Nidra + Soundbath Experience in The Yoga Room @ Best Life Wellness.

What's Yoga Nidra?? You may be asking...

This practice of guided mediation mimics sleep, while you remain awake and alert throughout the session.

Yoga Nidra can help alleviate chronic stress and pain, promote restful sleep and bring a sense of peace to your daily life.

Studies have shown that 1 hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep!!

Part 2 of this magical evening you will be bathed in the resonant frequencies of quartz crystal singing bowls and koshi chimes.

Yoga mats, blankets and bolsters are available, but space is limited - so book your spot ASAP!


A WOMEN’S CIRCLE EXPERIENCE - With Maria Brito

AT BEST LIFE WELLNESS :: DECEMBER 15th, 6pm

INWARD

What is a women’s circle?   

Throughout time, women have gathered in circles to share, to hold, and to find healing.  In recent years there has been a yearning for women to gather again to learn from each other and to have a sacred space where they can recalibrate and find peace.  There are different types of circles and facilitators will use different modalities in each one.  

Who is Maria Brito and what is her approach? 

Maria has been a life coach and facilitator of women’s circles for over a decade and leads workshops and retreats throughout the world.  Her client base expands to one-on-one coaching clients from here in the U.S. to Australia, Europe and the Middle East.  She works with women of different nationalities and religions and helps them connect to their own unique spirituality.  She is well known for her “deep awakening” retreats which include a unique process crafted by Maria so that women can work through limiting beliefs in order to tap into their divine power.  As women we hold so much magic and in a circle with other women, this magic becomes medicine for the soul.  You will leave with a deep sense of peace and clarity.

What can I expect during INWARD?

Each circle is curated to help women work through a feminine stronghold.  Some examples of these are unworthiness, lack-mentality, anxiousness, grief, and fear.  Maria likes to leave room for surprises but you can certainly expect her unique style of breathwork done with headphones for a deeply immersive experience.  The breathwork is followed by a guided meditation as well as a talk on the theme accompanied by a worksheet or what Maria calls “soulwork”.  This soulwork is a life-coaching tool that is used to bring out what has been suppressed in order to get clear on what needs to shift or be cleared.  This powerful awakening is what Maria’s work is known for because from that space of clarity women are then able to manifest their deepest desires.

FULL MOON GATHERING - STURGEON MOON 2022

Join Bailey + Jenny at Best Life Wellness on August 11th to celebrate the last super moon of 2022. This full moon is known as the Sturgeon moon, in honor of the time of year when sturgeon fish are most easily seen + caught. Abundance abounds! This full moon in Aquarius takes place during the Lion's Gate portal. Energies are amplified and we are invited to embrace our truest selves, gaining clairty on what we want to call into our lives. Full Moons are symbolic of cycles coming to a head, the conclusion of whatever intentions we set during the previous new moon. We consciously close off whatever cycle or pattern needs to end so that newness can be born. This time of reflection is imperative. Jenny will lead a sound bath, then we will gather, meditate, contemplate, and focus our energy on the beauty we want to invite into our lives. Bring your favorite journal and an open heart. We can't wait to share space with you on this magical night.

Each new year presents us with new challenges sometimes leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious and exhausted. In the face of change, it is important to remain grounded and focused in order to feel empowered and capable of attaining our personal goals. 

Awaken your inner warrior! In the first hour of this workshop you will be lead through breath work and a movement meditation warrior flow sequence designed to help you feel energized and empowered, preparing you to face challenges that come your way in the new year. 

Students can expect the first half of the asana practice to be a dynamic and energetic vinyasa practice with the remaining half of the practice closing in deep restorative poses to calm and prepare you for a 30-minute acupuncture enhanced savasana. Acupuncture treatment will focus on key acupuncture points that help to boost immunity and strengthen the system, while calming the heart and mind.

In this special workshop one of my favorite yoga teachers, Iva Drtina-hall, will lead you through a series that begins with a brief, invigorating salute and farewell to the sun and Summer, and ends with a focus on yin yoga- also known as the quiet practice, a practice that is preventive, restorative and meditative, thus preparing you for Fall. 

A prolonged Savasana accompanied by acupuncture treatment by yours truly will further nourish a yin attitude of compassionate acceptance, to allow the wisdom of our bodies to be heard.

09.24.16  :: CUPPING DEMYSTIFIED 

Cupping therapy recently gained another moment in the spotlight as the world’s best athletes took the stage in the 2016 Olympics with red circular marks adorning their shoulders, legs and backs.  In this hands-on workshop we will demystify this ancient therapy while you learn the skills to practice it on yourself and your friends and loved ones!  Release tight and painful muscles and encourage blood flow with cupping therapy!

What you’ll get:
*Instruction on best practices with cupping
*A cupping kit to take home with you!
*Practice cupping and practiced on!

Please know that during this workshop you will be practicing cupping on another learner and they will practice on you in turn. We suggest you wear comfortable clothing and if you want cupping done on your back, wear a top you can remove (we will keep it private, don’t worry!) or move to the side. You are welcome to attend with someone you know (check out the special price), or come solo. We will have a partner for everyone, and you’re guaranteed to love it.
