This day long workshop and corresponding online element will introduce you to what trauma informed yoga is and how the tools
can be utilized in classes and in the community. Trauma and it’s effects – PTSD, anxiety and depression are more evident in our society today than ever before. We are constantly trying to keep up with social media, the news, the weather and our own expectations of self that we find ourselves in a constant flux of emotions. This then diminishes our overall well being can lead to more serious health problems. In this lecture based workshop, you will gain knowledge and access to tools that you may integrate in yoga classes or private sessions that will assist the student in an effort of growth and transformation. You will develop more understanding and compassion to people living with trauma from a yogic perspective by learning about healing the brain, calming the mind and the physical body as a whole.
The 10 hour commitment includes a one day lecture and online assignments to be completed within 6 months of the in person meeting. You will receive a certificate of completion to be submitted to Yoga Alliance for credit, if desired.

Essentrics is a completely original workout that draws on the flowing movements of tai chi which create health and balance, the strengthening theories behind ballet which create long, lean, flexible muscles and the healing principles of physiotherapy which create a pain free body.
|
Farhana was introduced to Essentrics by her friend in 2017 and fell in love with it after watching Miranda Esmonde-White (founder of Essentrics) on PBS. She enjoyed the fluid, dynamic nature of the exercise where each element provides specific benefits to the body. She liked the fact that it was a combination of ballet, tai chi, and physiotherapy and how all three techniques were used to create a toned, lean body.
Soon after practicing Essentrics Farhana ventured to the headquarters in Montreal to attend the level 1 teacher training where she became even more fascinated by this toning and stretching technique. She received her certification in January 2019 and plans to get her level 2 training in November of this year. Farhana's clients love the unique Essentrics workout method and find it leaves them feeling flexible, toned, and stretched. It also improves their posture and some notice their abs and waist thinning out after 4-6 sessions. Farhana teaches at Blackcrow Yoga in Arlington and during the summer she teaches from her house on the Cape. |

We are all made of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and sky. Masterful living is achieved when these elements are balanced within. When out of balance, you may feel “contracted” (too much earth), “under water” emotionally stressed out (too much water), unmotivated (not enough fire) or over working (too much fire), scattered and fearful (too much air), or spacey and ungrounded (too much sky). The Ashaya Yoga® practice brings about a flowing integration of all five elements that leaves you feeling strong, confident, peaceful, openhearted, and ready to engage with life wholeheartedly from a place of worthiness. During this workshop, you practice a colorful collection of accessible poses including standing poses, hip openers, twists, inversions (with safe modifications), backbends, forward bends, and twists. Class ends with a deep relaxation based on the five elements. Modifications, therapeutics, and partner work is included.

Join Bettina for Sound Bath Meditation at innerglow yoga. Participants gather in a comfortable position to explore how this healing therapy can have a powerful and immediate impact on the whole body. Bettina will guide those 15 years and older on a unique journey to help stimulate waves of peace and harmony within. A variety of instruments will accompany the singing bowls which will offer healthy effects on the heart rhythm, brainwave rhythms and the nervous system.
Mallets are played around the rim of the bowls creating friction. This action produces continuous “singing” tones floating around the room filling space and bodies creating multiple frequencies. The size of the bowls determines their pitch and activates different parts of the body including organs, glands & chakras. The sound of a crystal bowl also known as a “singing bowl” is unique and healing. A form of a guided meditation, sound baths are safe, natural and relaxing. Made from silica sand (which is pure quartz) crystal bowls produce a vibrational sound. Because we are a high percentage of water and our bones have a crystalline structure, we react to this powerful sound at a deeper cellular level affecting all of our organs.
Comfort is a priority and key to experience healing. Consider bringing a pillow, yoga mat/thick padding, blankets, socks layers of clothing, eye pillow and water to enhance your experience while you rest on the floor. Limited props/supplies available. Bettina uses sound as a tool to cultivate and support deep relaxation bringing a participant back to their natural state of happiness. Come feel your life energy awaken as you experience this natural approach to healing.

Bettina first heard the sound of a crystal bowl 8 years ago while healing from the loss of her parents. This life changing experience inspired her to create and share her own style of guided meditations. In 2015, Cape Cod Sound Journey Mediations was born.
Bettina is recognized in the community for her calm and grounding meditative experiences. She offers natural healing through the gentle touch of Reiki, the teachings of Hatha yoga and frequent private/group sound baths throughout the Cape. |

every girl is a warrior!
Studies have shown that confidence starts to drop in young girls by 30% at age eight as they become more sensitive to the increased pressures of school, friends, and figuring their place in the world. This class is designed as an introduction to yoga for young girls from ages seven to twelve, focusing on using creativity, strength, flexibility, and breath to find their "Inner Warriors." Through learning yoga postures and breath work, your child will start their journey into finding a mind-body connection. Our Inner Warrior is our protector, our confidence, our strength, and our courage. Most of the time She gets swept away in being influenced by others’ ideas and expectations. Through locating and recognizing our Inner Warrior we can learn to bring our true selves into every life situation.

Yoga is a process for learning about ourselves and opening to our fullest potential. It helps us to expand our awareness and transform our lives in ways that make us happier, healthier and feeling more whole within ourselves and in our relationships with others in the world. Embracing these basic values is
the starting point for becoming a good yoga teacher. Participants in this program invariably experience a deep and lasting sense of personal transformation as all of the elements of yoga become clearer and better integrated as you explore every aspect of yoga in your personal practice. In contrast to teacher training programs that emphasize attainment, competition or mastery, in this program we look to explore, refine, deepen, expand and learn without end. The primary source of this transformative learning is one's personal practice, and it is in the practice of yoga that we gain the most insight into
how best to share the practice with others. Because yoga is a process for self-transformation, there is nothing to master, no end to what we can learn and no limit to how much we can grow and share.

Get a new view on you through the lens of Ayurvedic Yoga! Every individual human body has its own elemental make-up. Each of the five elements: earth, fire, water, air and space (ether) has its own particular grouping of qualities. The three doshas, constitutional types, vata, pitta and kapha are the unique combinations of the five elements. The concept of these doshas stems from India’s ancient healing science, Ayurveda, which is believed to be the oldest continually practiced form of medicine in the world. Ayurveda means “life knowledge.” Everyone is composed of all five elements, and everyone has all three doshas, just in different proportions. When you are feeling “off” physically, emotionally or mentally it can be traced to imbalances in the doshas.
This weekend is a unique exploration of three practices that offer profound impacts on your constitutional (dosha) balance. MELT, Yoga and Ayurvedic Self-Care.
Experience the innovative MELT Method® and it’s profound benefits for balancing Vata, the most vulnerable of the doshas.
Find out how an Ayurvedic approach to balancing the doshas through asana, pranayama and meditation can help you stay resilient, vital and fulfilled. Develop your personal self-care plan with an understanding of Ayurveda’s Three Pillars of Health and an initial assessment of your constitutional type, or dosha. Begin living and working with sustainable energy, a positive outlook and uplifted spirit by exploring the powerful self-care practices of Ayurveda, Yoga and MELT. Ayurveda encourages small incremental changes, avoiding extremes. Return home with a plan to incorporate a few easy-to-integrate self care practices, employing the mantra for Ayurveda, “Little by little, over and over.”
The Friday night, Saturday and Sunday sessions constitute 15hrs and count as a module toward the 60-hour Dynamic Gentle Yoga Teacher Certification and qualify for YA CEs.
All sessions are appropriate for yoga teachers and all-levels of yoga students. Attend one, all or as many sessions as you like.

Vata Soothing Gentle Yoga with Rudy Peirce
Vata dosha is associated with the air and ether elements. Think butterflies, hummingbirds, balloons, thoughts floating, constant movement, never landing, resisting steadiness. Without grounding or river banks, vata imbalances can lead to nervousness, anxiety and confusion. We all have a certain amount of vata, and it is the aspect of our constitution most easily thrown out of imbalance. Generally, we all need vata soothing…especially when we’re leading busy lives and on the move. Move from anxious to steady in this slow, grounded practice to soothe vata.

Kapha Boosting Yoga with Rudy Peirce
Kapha dosha is associated with the water and earth elements. This quality likes chilling out, relaxing activities at home and on the couch, munching comfort foods and taking it easy. “Don’t worry, be happy” is a kapha organizing principle. Kapha-dominant people tend to be calm, loyal, affable, steady, slow and sure. For this dosha to come into balance, movement is medicine. You can start out slow, then gradually nudge it, ramp it up, deepen the breath, begin to churn, keep it moving, flow in, flow out, get the juices flowing, the heart pumping, stoke the fire. This can be the perfect morning practice. Rest assured, you will be encouraged to churn at your own chosen speed.

Yoga and MELT® - Get Grounded with Joyce Peirce
This workshop is a unique combination of gentle yoga and MELT also known as Hands-Off Bodywork®. The human body is up to 70% water, however, as we age, keeping our tissues moist and supple becomes more challenging and we are vulnerable to muscle strain, injury, chronic pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, etc. Essentially, the vata dosha becomes more vulnerable with the accumulation of stress and the physiology of aging. New science shows that what we attribute to “aging” is related to the hydration and functioning of the neuro-fascial system. When you combine the gentle tools and techniques of MELT with accessible yoga, you improve your breathing, enhance your alignment and balance, decrease the risk of injury and muscle strain, and soothe the nervous system so it can down-shift into the rest and repair mode to support the body's ability to relax and heal. Learn to soothe the vata dosha to increase steadiness and resilience and deepen relaxation. Get grounded with yoga and MELT!

Pitta Balancing Yoga with Rudy Peirce
Pitta, associated with the elements of fire and water, governs how we digest food and experience. Excess pitta manifests as heat in the body, the mind and the tongue. Pitta imbalances are characterized by a quality of burning, by excessive digestive acids, hyper-critical thinking, crankiness, aggravation, a sharp tongue, intolerance, blowing a fuse! Pitta often needs a low-intensity practice, to be calmed, so it can be a steady simmer, a soothing campfire, reassured so it can fuel steady focus, restraint, discerning mind and graceful interaction. This practice will be cooling and calming, slow, fluid movements; relaxing and steadying pranayama and meditation. Experience the best asanas for pitta balance.
