Reiki training level I
|
When we reconvene for the second day, we will touch-base and see how everyone is feeling before reviewing the training manual material on Healing Others and Conducting Complete Reiki Sessions. Students will pair in partners, and Teagan will guide the group in practicing offering Reiki Healing to another. After a short break, partners will switch roles as giver and receiver. We’ll take time to reflect and conclude with discussion and answer any remaining questions.
This eight-hour Level I Reiki Training prepares students to use Reiki Energy Healing for themselves and for others, and includes the Training Manual and Certificate of Completion. Please register in advance; space is limited to 12 students. Investment: $200, or $375 when registering for both Levels I & II. More training dates may be scheduled as interest demands.

Reiki Shares are a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together around healing. Those curious about Reiki have a chance to experience a taste of Reiki Energy Healing, and those beginning their journey as Reiki practitioners have an opportunity to practice their new skills in a supportive group setting. More seasoned Reiki practitioners share their experience and may inspire others to continue to connect with the energy and bring more Reiki into their lives.
These are relaxed, informal meetups to learn, explore, connect, and heal. We begin with brief introductions and then divide our time to give group healing to each person. We'll close with time to reflect and share. Please avoid drugs and alcohol during the day leading up to the Reiki Share to arrive with a clear mind and pure intentions. Wear comfortable clothing and bring drinking water.
Reiki Healing involves an energetic of reciprocity; creating an equal energetic exchange is a core Reiki principle. Reiki shares are offered on a donation basis; please contribute what feels right to you to create a balanced exchange. We suggest a donation of $3-$20, but there are many ways to create a harmonious exchange, and other sorts of offerings are welcome. We ask you to honor what resonates for you.

The class will include self-massage techniques including body brushing, activating lymph node centers, and stimulating reflexology and acupressure points and areas to clear out toxins and promote healthy and balanced flows.
To conclude, Teagan will guide a healing circle to create sacred space to recognize how breast cancer has affected our lives, and to recognize the strength and support available in connection with community. In ritual we will honor, express, and release our emotions, and align ourselves with our most radiant experience.
We invite you to wear pink or blue and to attend braless as you are comfortable. It is not necessary to attend all three portions of the event; you may attend as your schedule allows or your interest inspires.

Join Mahela on a journey to explore and shine light on our inner awareness in the second edition of her Mindful Awakening workshop Thursday, July 11th, 5:40 - 8:00 pm. Mahela will guide us in meditation to listen and observe our thoughts and reactions, becoming conscious of our mind and body through the senses. We will practice tuning in to our inner-knowing and intuition, the space from which we may find clarity. Following our practice in meditation, we will engage with Pranayama (breathwork) to focus on what we feel as the intentional breath patterns releases constrictions and help us to breath lighter. Staying with the breath, we will move into a creative Vinyasa flow to generate heat and open space in our bodies, and then wind down into Yin Yoga resting more deeply into longer-held poses. Our journey concludes with an extended savasana where Mahela will offer each participant an individualized Reiki mini-treatment, channeling healing energy to encourage deep relaxation and promote overall well-being. Wellness investment: $25. Please confirm your reservation with Mahela through email or Whatsapp as space is limited to 8 participants, and please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to settle into the space.

Anniversary Party
|
Teagan, Mahela, and Miranda will lead a free Yoga Class Remix 7:00 - 8:30 pm, and we hope those curious about yoga will come to sample the different styles as we combine them together in one co-led class. Normally yoga classes tend to build up and then cool down, but in this remix class we will start slow and build up our energies for our celebration party. Teagan will begin the class with meditative Prana Yin, flowing into gentle Hatha with Mahela, and then Miranda will get us into the party spirit finishing class with Yoga Dance Fusion.
We hope you'll stay after class to dance and socialize; there will be refreshments and snacks. During the party we'll have a new student promotion offering 20% off all passes for new students. We'd also like to share (with permission) some of your reflections on how yoga has impacted your life and award a special prize to our favorite responses. (Details below.) So come out, move your body, and enjoy our yoga community!
In December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed June 21 as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131, with the aim to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.
In honor of International Day of Yoga, we invite you to join us in reflection. What has yoga meant to you? How has yoga impacted your life? How has yoga shaped your experience or shifted your perspective? We aim to open up more conversation about yoga and what it can mean to different people; we hope this will help us become more aware about why we practice, and that it will inspire others to give yoga a try.
Please share your reflection on Instagram or Facebook, and tag @cocoyogaandwellness with the hashtag #internationaldayofyoga Including a photo is optional. We would love to see your yoga photos, or an image related to your reflection, but you can also use the International Day of Yoga logo or no image. If you're too shy to post on your social media, we'd still love to hear from you--please leave a comment in this event or send us a private message. Thank you for sharing with us!

Essence of Mysore workshop
|
This workshop is open to all levels and split in two sections: Primary and Philosophy. You may choose to attend either section on its own ($20 each) or join Vanessa for the full workshop ($35).
Part 1: Primary
The morning begins with twenty minutes of Sound Meditation--Omkara chanting the sound of Om, the first mantra in a traditional meditation practice, and Bija Mantras to activate the energy of each Chakra to purify the mind and body. This uplifting sound meditation will calm and center students to prepare to flow through Mysore-Style Primary Series. In Mysore-Style students practice at their own pace the portion of the sequence appropriate to their personal practice. The practice is done peacefully in silence as Vanessa guides the students individually by physical adjustments or verbal instruction. Cards outlining the series are available for reference for those who do not have the sequence fully memorized. This amazing method following a fixed sequence encourages focus on the subtle energy of each posture allowing the prana to flow at ease, as less emphasis goes toward the physical performance of the asana.
There will be an official break 9:30 - 10:00 am; however, not every student will need the full two hours to complete their Mysore-Style practice and may finish part one earlier than 9:30. Please nourish yourself; you may bring snacks to the studio.
Part 2: Philosophy
Vanessa will dedicate the second portion of the morning to Yoga Philosophy. She will delve into subjects including the meaning of the Om symbol and mantra, study of the first three Yoga Sutras, the purpose and meaning of Ashtanga Yoga, and the fundamentals of Ashtanga Yoga practice--Breath, Bandha, Drishti and Vinyasa. The morning will conclude with Satsang as Vanessa answers questions and addresses students' doubts or confusions.
Payment may be made at the studio in advance or at the time of the event. Payments may be made in cash in U.S. Dollars or Costa Rican Colones; the current exchange rate is posted in the studio. At this time we do not accept credit cards; thank you for understanding. Please sign up at the studio, or drop-in on Saturday.
