Pre-Bhakti Event-Rhythmic Sound Journey Experience with Arjun Bruggeman

Arjun Bruggeman, world percussionist, drummer, composer, and session recording artist, is highly acclaimed for his unique hybrid of East-meets-West rhythms.

He experiences improvisation as a spiritual practice that can link cosmic expression with individual healing.

Introduction to Ashtanga Workshop with Rebecca

Join Rebecca Sisson, RYT500 for this two hour, all levels workshop to learn the basics of the Ashtanga Yoga system. Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional form of classical Indian yoga with a set sequence of postures that emphasize the union of breath and movement.

In this workshop we will discuss the history and lineage of Ashtanga Yoga, as well as the approach and philosophy, particularly around the rhythm and benefits of ritual. We’ll unpack the building blocks of the practice including pranayama (breath), bandhas (locks), drishti (point of gaze), mantra (chant) and asana (postures). This workshop includes an energetic practice of select poses from the primary series. 

Rebecca’s approach to teaching Ashtanga Yoga is one of lightness and warmth to balance the rigor of tradition. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of practitioners; beginners welcome!

This class is limited to 20 participants, please register on Mindbody to reserve your spot!

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a holistic healing system from ancient India that works in tandem with its

sister science yoga, to restore and maintain balance in your mind-body. Although Ayurvedic

principles are rooted in the classical Vedic era, its timeless roots are translated in a modern

voice making it practical, relatable, and something that’s actually fun to implement. Ayurveda

combines food and nutrition, yoga and movement, herbs and lifestyle practices to awaken us to

our true nature and well-being, inspiring us to develop a loving and healthy relationship with who

we are at our cores.

What does the workshop include?

Together we will skim the surface of the ocean of Ayurveda. We will lay down the

foundations of this nature-based holistic system, leaving you with a general understanding of

Ayurveda, perhaps cutting through any misconceptions. We will emphasize Ayurveda’s

importance and function specifically in relation to yoga and nutrition. This is an educational and

immersive workshop, as we will apply its wisdom in a Tridoshic yoga flow. You will discover what

your Ayurvedic constitution is, and leave with a shared awareness of how to find and maintain

balance through various stages and seasons of life. There will be a light snack provided.

Meet Ashley

Ashley is a yoga teacher at Cedar and Sage Wellness Studio, Ayurvedic wellness

counselor, and holistic personal chef. Her down-to-earth approach to health inspires her

community to eat, move, and live in a well-nourished and realistic manner. She guides people to

Full Moon Gathering: Astrology Reading & Sound Journey with Vincent and Ryan

We are very excited to host this incredible experience with Vincent Accardi and Ryan Mussen. Full Moon Gathering: Astrology Reading & Sound Journey will be held once a month on the full moon.

This event combines the knowledge of Astrology with the art of Sound Healing. We will begin the evening with a discussion about this month’s Solar-Lunar cycle and the archetypal themes it represents. By bringing our awareness to the astrological positions of our Sun and Moon, we can begin to examine how these celestial energies may be showing up in our lives. We will then take a few moments to quietly reflect on these ideas and create an intention to carry with us through our  journey with sound. For the remaining 90 minutes you will be surrounded in the healing vibrations created by a variety of Sacred Instruments including Planetary Gongs, Crystal Bowls and Flutes. This immersion in sound can help lift the mind into the realms of imagination and vision, while aiding the body in its natural process of restoration. By combining all these elements we bring harmony to the mind-body and spirit, resulting in a sense of revitalization, renewal and rest.

Studio provides mats, blankets and bolsters but if you would like additional comfort, please feel free to bring your own. Wear comfortable clothing and we ask that all devices, cell phones, smart watches, tablets etc. be kept on silent and in the designated cubbie area. (or better yet, left in the car or at home! We wish to provide you and all who attend, a quiet, peaceful environment during this sound experience.

Doors will be locked promptly at the start of the class so please be sure to allow for plenty time to arrive, check in and set up your space. At least 10 minutes early.

Refine Your Flow-The Art and Science of Tri-Yoga Flows with Heike Binder

Join Heike to enjoy the deep alchemy of Triyoga Flows® (Level 2-3).

TriYoga, a Hatha Yoga style was founded by internationally known Yogini Kaliji.

Bring openness and mindful curiosity to this yoga practice! During this three-hour flow workshop we focus on exploring new transitionsspinal waveseven pacing, and the ideas of relaxation-in-action & economy of movement. TriYoga Flows unite pranayama (breathing) and mudra flows (hand gestures) with dynamic and sustained asana (posture) to create greater flow of prana (life-force).


You may have gone to hundreds of classes over the years. During these 75-minute classes we often move from asana to asana without having time to truly explore and understand the transitions or the pose, take it deeper or acknowledge the sensations of the body.
This workshop is the perfect opportunity to explore the subtleties of familiar poses and transitions.

Through this workshop we will:

– Explore the alignment, and intention of common yoga postures – potentially feeling them in entirely new places.

– Learn to become more engaged, attentive, integrated and focused in our transitions & asanas.

– Include Mudra Flows (hand gestures) into the practice.

– Explore the movement of the spine (spinal waves).

– Have an opportunity to ask questions throughout and take away new understandings to bring to your regular practice or yoga teaching.

– Practice pranayama (breath) & dharana (concentration techniques) along with a short meditation.

 

Schedule: 2-5pm

- Welcome: 2:00 pm – 2:10 pm

- TriYoga Flows:  2:10 pm – 4:40 pm
Asana, Mudra, Pranayama (Tri Banda, Shining Breath, Sun/Moon Breath, Nada Pashanti)

- Yoga Nidra:  4:40 pm – 4:50 pm

Inspiration and Abundance for the New Year with Sabrina & Tobi

With the start of a new year comes the sensation of fresh new beginnings. The way we see it is, it’s never too late to invite yoga into your life. The benefits are endless and we are so excited to share this special class with you. In this workshop, we will explore the expansion of breath and the many benefits it provides to the mind and the body, then adding movement to the breath with a yoga sequence that allows for an increase in mobility and flexibility (for all levels) and then ending with a vibrational healing sound bath meditation. All three of these aspects combined can have a tremendous impact on the well being of the nervous system, ease pressure on joints, relieve low back pain and so much more. We will also tap into our intentions for the year ahead and release anything that we feel no longer serves a purpose in our current lives.

Yoga for Military and First Responders

Cedar & Sage Wellness Studio owners, Sabrina and Tobi are very honored to bring this series of free classes to our military and first responder personnel. This class is very dear to their hearts as Sabrina is married to a firefighter who also happens to be Tobi’s brother. Tobi’s father is a retired fire chief and his father before that was in the police force. They have seen first hand what these men and women do day in and day out to keep our community safe and the mental effects these actions can have on family and everyday life. Military and First Responders experience conditions and situations that can be very traumatic on a daily basis. Studies have shown how meditation, breath work and yoga can help the nervous system to alleviate stress and anxiety when done on a regular basis. One of our instructors, Melissa Grisi, is a licensed clinical social worker who has been trained in trauma informed yoga. She had recently incorporated this practice into her services to our local military base in 29 Palms as a means to assist those suffering from PTSD and other forms of trauma and stress. All of the wonderful instructors at Cedar & Sage will be volunteering their time to teach one of these classes. We are all very grateful and honored for the services these men and women provide for our community and can’t wait to share our special classes with you.

Self Care for the Holidays with Melissa Grisi

Join us for this very special workshop focusing on self-care for the holiday season. While holidays can be a time of joyous celebration, it can also be a difficult time for many. It is quite common for old wounds and patterns to resurface; we can be triggered by family dynamics and/or past painful events. We may set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and our loved ones. Our nervous system can fall out of balance and we become reactive rather than responsive. Our grief can be intensified as we miss those who are no longer with us.

During this workshop we will explore our triggers, identify boundaries, cultivate a practice of self-compassion as reset the nervous system using various techniques. Drawing from Melissa’s training, education and experience as a trauma-sensitive yoga teacher and a licensed clinical social worker and therapist, we will utilize journaling and discussion to identify boundaries we can realistically set as well as practice meditation and pranayama (breath) visualization and mindful self-compassion and gentle yoga to create a restorative practice designed to bring the nervous system back in to balance. Participants will leave this workshop with practical tools and a plan for balance and self- care during the holiday season. All levels welcome. Worksheets and pens are provided but participants are welcome to bring their own journals if they’d like.
