Classes and Reiki
TriYoga Flow
This class begins with pranayama breathing exercises, moves into a flow with asanas (yoga postures) focusing on alignment, and ends with Savasana (relaxation) and Surya Candra (Sun/Moon) breath.
Aqua Yoga
Take your yoga practice into the water! Flowing in the water will challenge the balance of the Yoga postures and will release the tension that may be experienced on the mat. This is a fun, creative class using floating noodles for support.
Reiki
A reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation, feelings of peace, security and overall wellbeing.

Mindful Stretches
This class may be held at the park or at Vital Medicine for the Soul and is a combination of three different mindful techniques. It begins with TaiChi (flowing warm up), moves into TriYoga (strengthening movements), and ends with Qigong energy work and Yoga Nidra for relaxation. Keep an eye out for our Mindful Partner Stretching classes as well where bringing a friend can help you deepen your stretches, provide encouragement for each other and bring collaboration and playfulness to your practice.
Mindful stretches:
Is your mind full? or are you mindful with each breath and movement?
This session combines three different techniques:
TriYoga, TaiChi and Healing Qigong
TriYoga : has a beautiful flow transition to each Asanas yoga poses, and helps to strengthening and building flexibility.
TaiChi: all about focus and balance, building this inner strength, moving with grace , slow and smooth movements, bringing calmness.
Healing Qigong: tapping, bouncing, shaking to relax and bringing full vitality to body and mind. Bringing more awareness of your own intuition with energy work. ( can change your mood and bring a smile:-)

We are honored to support our community, our neighbors and our friends on their journeys toward peace and good health.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy” and is a natural energy-balancing and renewing method. The Reiki practitioner focuses on removing energy blocks and activating energy flow. Reiki can be used in conjunction with any other technique of health-care treatment as well as with any other personal growth therapy. Reiki does not conflict with traditional medicine and can be used as an additional source for restoring vital energy and promoting health and well-being.
Distance Reiki Healing is available from 30-60min.
