Join us for a very special Sound Healing with Hugo Lopes, one of our beloved teachers who is currently visiting from Brazil. This will be his last offering at the studio before he heads home.

This is a 90 min experience, from 7:30 - 9:00pm

Investment: $30

Sound Healing is based on the principle that everything is sound and everything is connected through the frequencies and vibrations emitted by the universe. If we are nature, we are all connected through the vibrations emitted by mother earth and we are on an eternal quest to reconnect with our root frequencies. The practice of sound healing is also known as sound meditation guided by instruments and sounds, where the participant is invited to lie down and simply let themselves be carried away by the vibrations emitted, thus altering the frequency of their body and accessing deep parts of their body. In this dynamic, sound healing acts as an integration for all the business of the Summer and bringing the participant back to centre. In this state of deep meditation, participants will be able to access parts of the self that have been hidden, and give awareness and love to a part of the self you haven’t explored yet. Connect to the source of everything and to yourself, through the guidance of the drums, instruments and heartbeat. Through sound healing, it’s an opportunity to discover the hidden power that exists inside us.

The days are slowly getting shorter as the Sun sinks deeper into the sky, as the colours around us shift to vibrant oranges and golds. This 2-hour workshop will have you floating in aerial silks, accompanied by Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl soundscapes, creating a deeply transformative experience. The intention of this practice is to honour the sacred time to harvest the seeds we have planted, as we revel in the energy of prosperity of the Fall Equinox! 

Hayley will lead you through a restorative aerial yin yoga practice, using aerial hammocks to help you feel held and supported.  Explore deep stretches allowing you to fully open your body and mind. This practice will support you in connecting with your internal season, and with the flow of oscillating energy we experience through the shift from Summer to Fall.

Cradled by the silks, you will also be guided through breathwork and meditation to anchor you into the practice, including a touch of Reiki to help you feel at ease and connected to yourself. At the end of the practice, enjoy a relaxing sound bath savasana, suspended in the floating cocoon of your hammock.

Valerie will guide you into a journey of mystical melodies, perfectly suited for further exploration of self within the medicines of movement, stillness and meditation. This is a beautiful time to acknowledge our natural evolution through growth and expansion, as we lean into the delicate balance of light and darkness.

Sound is an invitation to turn inward, to reunify the body, mind + spirit by utilizing a holistic and regenerative medium to gently access and treat the physical and non-physical bodies.

No previous aerial yoga experience or flexibility required, our goal is that everyone feels comfortable and supported in their practice.

We are excited to weave these beautiful techniques together into one immersive experience.

About Hugo:

Hugo Lopes is a Ashtanga Yoga instructor, Men’s coach and Sound Therapist from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Co-founder of Man Aligned Men’s work, Hugo lived in Canada for over 9 years and then returned to his someplace - Rio - to deepen his spiritual studies and to reconnect with his ancestral land. He went back to his homeland to keep diving his spiritual studies with indigenous people and finding himself as the bridge to bring this message from the ancient forest to where he goes.

He believes that all living matter vibrates at specific frequencies and that external sounds significantly change the vibration of different objects - such as our body. The sounds of nature alone instantly provides you a sense of immediate connection, creating an opportunity to release shields and masks we wear in our everyday life. In this state of deep meditation, participants will be able to access parts of the self that have been hidden, and give awareness and love to a part of the self you haven’t explored yet. 

Connect to the source of everything and to yourself, through the guidance of the drums, instruments and heartbeat. Through sound healing, it’s an opportunity to discover the hidden power that exists inside us.

This 2 hour workshop will have you floating in aerial silks, accompanied with an Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl Infusion, creating a deeply transformative experience.

Cradled by the silks, you will also be guided through breathwork and meditation to anchor you into the practice, including a touch of Reiki to help you feel at ease and connected to yourself.

At the end of the practice, enjoy a relaxing sound bath savasana, suspended in the floating cocoon of your hammock.

Join Trish for this goal setting workshop! 

We may think that being mindful means being present in the moment - so what does that have to do with goal setting for the future? 

Mindfulness is also about being intentional and purposeful about how we're living our lives - the opposite of living on autopilot. In this way, mindfulness is all about being present NOW and making choices in this moment that support where you want to go in the future!

This session will include:  

• an exploration of your values so you can set meaningful goals to YOU (instead of goals based on what your family, friends, or culture tells you to do!); 

• a visualization component to help you imagine and dream of the life you want 

• a breakdown of how to write a goal and explanation of the two most common categories of goals 

• an exploration of how to respond when we encounter challenges and even failure in our goal setting
