SOUND BATHS WITH JEN HADDIX - generic image

NEW MOON SOUND BATH 
Sunday, April 7, 5 pm – 6:15 pm, $25 – REGISTER HERE

Working with the healing vibrations of crystal bowls, drums, chimes, gongs, vocals and more… Jen will support you in setting intentions for this upcoming New Moon in Aries and tuning you in to powerful self love and spiritual growth frequencies. The courage to overcome any obstacle. The sheer willpower to persevere. The motivation to keep going. These are the energies of Aries. We tune into these energies when we need a burst of inspiration to begin, continue, and hold on against all odds. This is what we will focus on in this New Moon sound bath. The sound healing instruments she uses work with your chakras (energy centers), helping to move a lot of energy quickly, clear any blockages, and help you deepen your relationship with yourself.

Everything that exists is made of sound and vibration. Our bodies are 70% water, making them ideal conductors for transformative sound experiences. This New Moon in Aries Sound Bath will help release tension and stress. It will also open the door to enhanced intuition, improved immunity, better relationships, lower blood pressure, reduced stress hormones, stabilized moods, and better sleep. This powerful healing modality can create big changes in your life, and in a short amount of time.

Allow the gentle vibrations to wash away any tension and help you release negative energy. As you surrender to the harmonious sounds, you may experience a profound sense of clarity and inspiration, opening your mind to new possibilities and expansion.

No experience is required! All levels are welcome.

Grief Yoga APril 2024 INsta

Grief Yoga ®
for Families, Individuals, and Kids
with Dr. Juanita Chapman, MFT, LCADC, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, RYT 500
Sunday, April 14, 1:00 – 2:30 pm
The Yoga Center Reno

Workshop Cost: Donation-based
Please pre-register: email juanitasyoga@outlook.com
Payment options: Venmo or cash

Please note: Participants should bring a journal and something with which to write. Participants are also invited to bring their own water (in a container with a closed top to avoid spills.)

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Grief yoga combines many different forms of yoga, breath techniques and movements to help students process grief, trauma, losses, and other stuck emotions to use them as fuel for transformative healing. This process is not about physical flexibility, it embodies emotional liberation. Classes begin with students becoming aware of the present moment and where they hold struggle and pain in their bodies and minds. We then create a safe place to express and release their struggles through movement, breath, and sound.   Next we incorporate flowing moving mediations to open the heart, perhaps some laughter exercises to tap into joy and dancing movements that connect to the soul. In the final part of class, students will be moved to surrender and let go of the pain to reconnect to love and the gift of life.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
juanita headshot croppedDr. Juanita Chapman – licensed MFT and LCADC, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, RYT 500

One of the main reasons I became a therapist was it provided me the freedom to talk openly about emotions, and death, somethings which were taboo in my family.  In my years of practice, I have discovered that this lack of emotional validation resonates with a huge portion of my clients.  When I began practicing yoga, I stumbled into the added benefit of the practice releasing emotions.  I wondered if there might be some way to bring yoga and those who don’t normally practice yoga but struggle with grief and other difficult emotions, together.  Then, I found Grief Yoga ®.  It was so impactful that I decided to become a teacher.  A Grief Yoga ® class is a safe place to release those stuck old emotional wounds and process grief in a healthy and fun way. I hope you will join me to experience this for yourself.

Working with the healing vibrations of crystal bowls, drums, chimes, gongs, vocals and more… Jen will support you in setting intentions for this upcoming Full (Pink) Moon in Scorpio and tuning you in to the frequencies of letting go and releasing what no longer serves you. The pink moon in 2024 is a time to shed old skin and emerge as a more empowered and authentic version of yourself. Slated to reach its peak on April 23, the 2024 pink moon is set to rise in the eighth zodiac sign, Scorpio. As a water sign, Scorpio is often associated with the themes of emotional intensity, intimacy, and self-empowerment. This is the energy we’ll work with during this Pink Full Moon sound bath.

This Full Moon Sound Bath will help release tension and stress. It will also open the door to enhanced intuition, improved immunity, better relationships, lower blood pressure, reduced stress hormones, stabilized moods, and better sleep.
