Yoga is an ancient practice that dates back over 5,000 years ago. It's considered to be the path to enlightenment, balancing body, mind, and spirit. We're not looking to fix or change ourselves, but spontaneous transformat is a byproduct of a yoga practice to promote overall health, well-being, and mindfulness. The goal of yoga is to create greater balance, flexibility, strength, and inner peace.

Yoga can be practiced in many different styles. At Shine Wellness you’ll experience gentle flows to build energy and strength, rest in the form of yin and restorative yoga, and healing through pranayama and meditation. Yoga also encourages self-awareness, presence, and emotional resilience. It's a wonderful modality for stress relief, mental clarity, and emotional healing, in addition to physical benefits. It’s a wonderful way to meet yourself without judgement.

What to expect:

• Welcoming environment free of judgement

• Mindfulness + connection to self

• Improved strength + flexibility

• Stress relief + boosted mood

You need no prior experience needed, just show up with an open heart.

This deeply relaxing guided meditation is a modern adaptation of the ancient practice of yoga nidra. It brings about a knowing of who and what you are when you’re free of conditioning, limiting beliefs, and perceived obstacles. Meditation allows us to embrace everything – just as it is. iRest is backed by science and is effective for depression, sleep issues, trauma, chronic pain, and anxiety, all while creating a sense of relaxation and overall well-being.

Over time, we will inquire into:

• What is my truest heart’s desire

• What are the obstacles that stand in the way of my freedom

• What if I took nothing personally

• How do I stoke the energetic flames of my life and be reenergized

• How can I tap into peace in every moment

• How does life want to live through me

• How can I access peace even in the midst of chaos

• Where do I separate from myself and how do I get back on track and in harmony with my heart

These inquiries reveal the True Essence of who you are. They allow you to disidentify with thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and all the changing states of nature. The good news, you already have the answers to these questions within you. It only takes the commitment to show up, be in community, and fall in love with who you already are – PEACE ~ EASE ~ LOVE

This is a one-on-one practice where you get to dive deep. During this hour-long private session, we use the tools of iRest meditation and a deeply supportive coaching-style approach. In our sessions, we work through the healing process, the release of beliefs, and grow self-love. I guide you in meeting yourself where you are in the present moment as well as working through particular obstacles holding you back from living with unlimited potential. Moving beyond these perceptions allows you to respond to life from a place of wholeness, equanimity, and stability – and abide as THIS awake and aware presence – which essentially is LOVE! The foundation here is deep self-love and wholeness as you inquire, welcome, and listen, setting all that doesn’t serve you free.

What to expect:

• I’m not a therapist. I don’t diagnose or prescribe

• I’ll never tell you what’s right or wrong, good or bad

• I’ll be your guide, creating a soft and safe space for you to inquire, know your true essence, and find answers within yourself that are right for you

You need no prior meditation experience to do this, just show up with an open heart. And if that feels like a lot, don’t worry; we’ll get there.

Reiki is a technique for channeling unconditional love into the body. The Japanese word, Reiki, means the unification of vital and universal life energy; translated means spiritual wisdom and life force energy. It's the same energy that animates all living things, that causes grass to grow and flowers to bloom. Reiki has the power to provide an intentional practice to harness wisdom and energy to powerfully heal oneself. It's an invitation to trust. It can't be done wrong. What's meant to happen will happen. We all have healing energy within. This ancient healing modality is shared by a Reiki practitioner placing hands on the body or intentionally sending it from a distance. We call this distance healing.

A Reiki session can:

• Calm the nervous system

• Soothe and support anxiety

• Support physical and mental stress, grief, and other emotions

• Heal ailments or diseases in the body

• Provide an energetic boost

• Create overall wellness and well-being in the mind, body, and spirit

The divine intelligence knows exactly what to do - bring energy into balance. It's powerful, subtle, and pure.

• GROWTH – AUTHENTICITY – ALIGNMENT

• Will it allow me or another to grow? Am I being true to myself? Does it feel right?

• I BELIEVE… The energy that gives life to everything is our guide, always moving us in the right direction. We manifest everything. We listen deeply and trust intuition. We have limitless energy; the only limit is the construct we create. Old wounds and beliefs can be somatically healed and released. Every feeling and emotion is a messenger we can welcome with love. They’re here to guide, show where healing can take place, and provide wisdom and insight. We believe when we gather and shine, we change the universe.

• Everything is possible through self-love.

• When there's no comparison or judgment, then there is love.
