Sacred Skills Academy 1 Day Immersion
Dec
14
10:30 AM10:30

Sacred Skills Academy 1 Day Immersion

This special one-day workshop with Abby is an opportunity for yoga students, bodyworkers, and yoga teachers of all levels to spend a whole day diving deeply into a curated experience of subtle physical and energetic work. The day will begin with ceremony, where we'll invite in mother earth, and the ancestors and guides of our community circle to support and protect each of as we move through this healing work. The morning yoga practice will weave breath, movement, and guided focusing to increase our ability to feel, and bring heightened awareness of the habitual holding patterns in our bodies and energy fields.

The afternoon session will call on the connection that we've built through ceremony and our yoga practice, and will take that skillfulness into group and partner work. We'll move from gross to subtle, starting by working with the musculo-skeletal body through shiatsu and tui-na inspired touch with partners. Then, we'll dive into what's below the surface of the physical body by exploring how to feel breath and heartbeat, how to feel the rhythm and flow of the cerebrospinal fluid, and how to feel energy moving.

The work done in this Immersion (both individually and with others) is a mirror for how you show up for yourself, in relationships, in your work, and your yoga practice. You'll walk away from a day of being deeply dropped in and connected to community with tools that you can take into all parts of your life!

Autumn Equinox Ceremony

Autumn Equinox Ceremony

  • Santa Fe Community Yoga Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join Abby & Stephen in ceremony to welcome autumn! There are two equinoxes each year, the Vernal and the Autumnal, each with equal day and night. The Fall Equinox marks the moment when we begin to have shorter days, and longer nights. Traditionally, this is a day of reaping before the ending energy of the upcoming winter. This Autumnal Equinox falls very close to a New Moon as well!

Together, we’ll invite in this shift in the balance between light & dark. We'll ally with the equinox energy - the energy of falling leaves and hibernating animals - in order to inquire what is ready to be released. Our circle will open with calling in the Four Directions, followed by a guided meditation, a tarot pull to give clarity of intention for the newly shorter days, and journaling.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing - there will be no asana. Bring a journal, pen, and anything sacred or special to you to add to our communal altar.

Embodying Contentment: Practices for Lasting Peace
Jun
8
3:00 PM15:00

Embodying Contentment: Practices for Lasting Peace

The system of traditional yoga, The Eight-Limbed Path, has it's own "10 Commandments" that are specific tools and practices to bring us into alignment with our most connected selves. One of these is called Santosha, or contentment. Yoga teaches that contentment is not something that happens to us, but something we must actively cultivate. Science has proven that the more often that we intentionally evoke an emotion - like contentment - the more immediately accessible that feeling is in our everyday lives. It actually is stored in a different part of the brain! By practicing santosha, we are guaranteeing that we can be more at peace, more often, and with more ease. How sweet is that? 

Join Abby in this workshop to learn the skills to change your perspective, re-wire your brain, and connect to a more peaceful part of yourself. The workshop will begin with ceremony - chanting, drumming, and calling in the Four Directions to ally ourselves with our spirits, guides, and ancestors as we do this powerful work. Ceremony will be followed by a yoga practice that will get your body moving while actively cultivating a feeling of contentment - even in postures that are challenging! The practice will end with a long, sweet cool down, a long rest, breathing practices (pranayama) and a guided meditation. You'll leave feeling blissed out and ready to take your new-found peacefulness out into your life.

Uptaking Sweetness: Practices to Feel Pleasure

Join Abby in this workshop where we'll experience sweetness and pleasure in a new way. In our day-to-day lives, we give a lot of our energy into our work, relationships, and responsibilities.

In this workshop, we'll work on reframing our perspective in order to uptake more and more joy, pleasure, and sweetness! 

The workshop will begin in Ceremony - chanting, drumming, and calling in the Four Directions to invite our spirits, guides, and ancestors to help connect to our own internal sweetness. Ceremony will be followed by a juicy yoga practice that'll move the body, including some lightly vigorous postures followed by sweet stretching, restorative poses, gentle breathing exercises, and guided meditation. You'll walk away with new tools to uptake sweetness not only in your yoga practice but also in your everyday life!

Sacred Skills Academy w/ Jambo & Abby
Mar
20
to Mar 24

Sacred Skills Academy w/ Jambo & Abby

  • Dragon's Breath Yoga (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

For the first time ever, Abby and Jambo will be joining forces to co-create 5 days of immersive learning for yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and yoga practitioners of all levels. Each day will begin with a yoga practice that will build the trainee’s ability to feel on more subtle levels. We’ll highlight how to increase functionality of the muscles and joints through purposeful movements and breathing techniques. Participants will learn how to use the breath as a diagnostic tool to discern compensatory patterns & areas of tightness in the body, mind, and heart - and how to work with them. The morning practices will be followed by guided journeying and meditation experiences to deepen our connection to our hearts and spirit, so that we can take that skillfulness into the afternoon sessions together.

The afternoon sessions will combine techniques to help each trainee up-level the skillfulness of their ability to work with the nuances of the physical and energetic fields. We’ll work with:

  • Advanced Hands-On Assisting techniques and how to incorporate bodywork & energywork into the classroom

  • How to See bodies and their compensatory patterns

  • Myofascial Release techniques to work holistically on the musclo-skeletal system

  • Craniosacral Therapy techniques to work on the bones of the skull, the brain, and spinal cord

  • Energywork and Journeying skills to work with the deeper energetic, karmic, and ancestral layers of the body.

You’ll leave with increased skillfulness to See, Feel, and Empath, and how this information applies to practicing & teaching yoga, and giving & receiving bodywork. You'll feel confident and inspired to work more subtly with yourself and others in a way that creates healing, spaciousness, and connection.

Winter Solstice Ceremony
Dec
21
7:00 PM19:00

Winter Solstice Ceremony

Join Abby & Stephen to celebrate the Winter Solstice, the first day of winter, and the longest night of the year. The Winter Solstice is the day of the year with the most darkness, and is caused by the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. On the longest night of the year, also called Midwinter, or Yule, we are celebrating the return of the sun. This day marks the time of year when days begin to get longer again, and we are blessed with more hours of sunlight.

In this ceremony, we'll celebrate rebirth and renewal, and reflect upon the darker days since the Autumnal Equinox. Our circle will open with calling in the Four Directions, followed by a guided meditation, a tarot pull to give clarity of intention for the newly sun-filled days, and journaling. Please bring anything sacred or special to you to add to our communal altar.
