Special Workshop: Introduction to Tantra Philosophy & Sacred Sexuality Sunday, August 14th from 1-4 pm at The Studio at The Haven Wellness Resort & Spa. The cost of this workshop is $45 per person, or $85 / couple. Space is limited. Join Katherine Sophia for this special workshop that will consist of lecture, guided meditation and breathing exercises! Tantra is raw truth and love, devotion and worship, connection and expansion, meditation and discipline. Tantra teaches us how to give, how to receive, how to breathe. Tantra teaches us to connect to ourselves in the depths and allow our beloved to join us in that space. It takes us on a journey into the spiritual realms, way beyond the physical experience. Tantra unites us first and foremost to ourselves, but then can expand to our loved ones, uniting two beings as one coming together to honor and worship one another and to experience blissful pleasure through the vehicle of the body as never before. As we start to fully experience self love and acceptance of our own mind, body and spirit, it allows us to share that same depth of love and acceptance with others. Sacred sexuality is being willing to stand "as you are" in the face of your beloved with willingness to be seen from the inside out. It is true openness to be you, to be vulnerable and to work through letting go and healing past samskaras united with your beloved. Whether you are in a relationship or not, this class will truly empower you to bring more love and joy in your daily life. Space for this workshop will be limited.

STONG VINYASA YOGA TUESDAY 8 AM Vinyasa means breath to movement and is often referred to as a “flow style” of yoga. The Vinyasa practice becomes a moving meditation linking each posture together with a fluid breath flow. This is a dynamic practice that creates strength, flexibility and unity within the mind and body.

GUIDED MEDITATION (Yoga Nidra) MONDAY & FRIDAY 10:40 - 11:25 AM (45 min) You are encouraged to bring a pillow and/or blanket, or whatever will bring the most comfort, as you will laying on the floor for the duration of the practice. Come experience the style of Guided Meditation called "YOGA NIDRA." Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term Yoga Nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words: yoga meaning union or one-pointed awareness, and nidra which means sleep. During the practice of Yoga Nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. In this threshold state between sleep and wake-fulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously. If the consciousness is able to be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways, for example, to develop the memory, increase knowledge and creativity, or transform one's nature. Yoga Nidra can be used for directing the mind to accomplish anything! R - E - L - A - X Yoga Nidra is a powerful form of guided meditation in which one learns to relax consciously. People may feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy chair with their favorite drink, watch Netflix, and/or scroll through their cell phone. Yet this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation. These are only sensory diversions. True relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is Yoga Nidra, the state of dynamic sleep. Through the practice of yoga nidra, we are not only relaxing, but restructuring and reforming from the inside- out. With every session we are burning old patterns, habits and tendencies in order to be born anew. This process is not only much quicker than other systems which work on an external basis only, but the results are also more reliable and permanent. During Yoga Nidra you will become familiar with the variety of techniques that are used, including the following: CREATING A RESOLVE This is a short, positive, powerful statement of one's personal choosing. It is found by going into the heart, and discovering the heart's desire. This is an integral part of every practice, and is repeated at both the beginning and the end of the session. It is said that the resolve that one makes during Yoga Nidra is bound to come true in one's life. ROTATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS This is the progressive movement of awareness through parts of the body. The neurosurgeon affects the body by stimulating the brain. The practitioner of Yoga Nidra begins at the other end of the nerve pathway, by heightening the awareness of the body in order to stimulate the brain. This induces physical relaxation, and clears the nerve pathways to the brain, both those governing physical activity and those concerned with incoming information. It truly is a 'cleaning' of the brain from the inside-out! BREATH AWARENESS By practicing breath awareness, a state of sense withdrawal (pratyahara) and deep relaxation occur. Deep relaxation has been shown to be an altered state of perception. Once this state has been induced, the guided image visualization proceeds. VISUALIZATION Guided imagery in Yoga Nidra is a method of using a symbol (archetype) or image as a catalyst to provoke a reaction in the unconscious parts of the mind. The subconscious and unconscious material of the mind is awakened and released to become integrated into consciousness. Instructor: Joy Alexander Price: $5.00 (Language: English) Please note: This class begins shortly after Gentle Yoga on Monday & Friday. You are encouraged to make this an "add-on" to your Yoga practice... or simply make this a stand-alone experience. THE STUDIO IS LOCATED IN THE HAVEN WELLNESS RESORT & SPA IN BAJO BOQUETE.

This time is to be used for check in (with me), be sure that your device is configured properly, and chat with others, if desired. * Once practice begins, your microphone will be put on mute for the duration of practice. * If you are more comfortable logging on without video... that is no problem. However, if it is your first time joining, I will require to see your face to verify identity. After that, choice is yours regarding your video settings. * Class will start promptly at 9:00 am. If you are still configuring your settings at that time, or arrive a little late -- that's okay... join when you can, and we can do sign-in after class. * I will not be playing music during class. If you would like to play music for yourself, that is up to you. * During practice, if you are unclear of what you are doing, and are unable to pick it up through visual or audio cues, just rest and breath until the next pose. Same applies if you are experiencing any discomfort or pain. Please be fully present in your body, and respond accordingly. The most important thing is the breath... so relax, breath, and go at your own rhythm. * You may find it nice to use props during your practice — but they are NOT required. If you have a yoga block, and/or a yoga strap… then, that’s great! If not, you may decide to use a firm pillow, or rolled blanket, or something that feels best for you. For a yoga strap, perhaps a belt or something similar could work. (Again, this is not required.) …. AND because you are at home, you may decide to have a chair nearby (which is great because we can do more balance poses!)… and you may also decide to have a wall nearby, or scoot to a wall, when we do our leg inversion. Take advantage of what you have to make your practice as customized as you need. * If you have questions, or want to chat, the 'meeting room' will stay open for 5-10 minutes after class. * Please know that there may be times when the internet signal drops, or Zoom is having technical issues, or maybe video/audio will temporarily cut-out or freeze. This is the reality of online streaming, and though the majority of the time 'all is well'... anything can happen, at any time. 😉
