CBD + Yoga Workshop: Sunday 12/16 12:00-2:00

Have you heard of the many benefits of the using the non-psychoactive components of cannabis? Scientists have discovered there is one key component of the Cannabis Hemp plant that accounts for most of the plant’s natural health benefits. That component is Cannabidiol (CBD).
Did you know right here in Cape Ann there is a shop that specializes in the sale of CBD products, with knowledgable  staff to help you pinpoint which products might be best for you? They even have an RN on staff that provides consultations for healing with CBD.
Carla from Cape Ann Botanicals in Ipswich will be joining us at Treetop Yoga to talk us through the benefits of incorporating CBD into our lives and yoga practices, and will have a number of samples yogis can choose to apply, ingest, or inhale before class begins.
We will tune into our breath as the samples settle, and class will heat us up with a 60 minute vinyasa flow, and commence with 30 minutes of restorative yoga to re-connect, tune in, and release.

Amanda has been using CBD oil topically and orally for nearly a year, and can attest to its many benefits to both her physical and mental health. She also has weened her dog off of Prozac by giving her a daily dose of CBD!

Restorative Sound Healing AND Stress Relief Techniques

We have two wonderful workshops at Treetop Yoga Studio (3A Pond Rd, Gloucester) this weekend with master teacher Elaine O’Rourke.

Friday, November 30, 6:30-8:00 PM 

Restorative Sound Healing

Stress Relief Techniques

Let’s face it, most of us are running around, stressed out, with a “to do” list that doesn’t seem to get shorter…leading to feelings of overwhelm and anxiety….aaarrrhhh.

The good news is – there is relief!

In this workshop you will learn Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT also known as Tapping) which is an amazing, easy and effective tool with zero side effects. We’ll also explore some other simple meditation techniques to promote calm!

EFT involves tapping on acupressure points which in itself is soothing. It combines focusing on a mental, emotional or physical area of concern while gently tapping on specific acupressure points. As you tap, you literally reduce the stress hormone, cortisol, in your body. The sequence helps release blockages within the energy system and helps restore balance. It is also easy to practice at home and can be used for a wide variety of things. It is the most widely used modality in the field of energy psychology.

Full Moon Restorative Sound Healing

Copy of Full Moon Sound Healing Journey with Elaine O'Rourke-2

Heal, Restore & Clarify your Intentions with Elaine O’Rourke
Elaine will guide you through an amazing blend of restorative yoga with sound healing. This elixir is the perfect offering to embrace the Full Moon. Subtle guided imagery and contemplation will help clarify your intentions. When we can quiet the mind, the creative energies can flow with a natural ease.

What is it all about, how does it work?  Well, think about it for a moment.  How some songs can immediately bring up a memory or feeling of a person, time in life, place…Sometimes it is just one note that triggers a response.  How amazing!

But what is so special about singing bowls, gongs, the voice when used appropriately?  They vibrate at certain frequencies, some are perfectly tuned, some not, they create other harmonics but all making a “good sound”.  Everything including our organs, cellular structure have a frequency so when you sound various bowls and gongs they are resonating at these various frequencies.

Why does it work so well in our bodies?  The spinal column and brain are surrounded by the cerebrial spinal fluid.  We are made up of 70% water/fluids which is an excellent conduit of sound.  Plus our skin and bones absorb sound.

Enjoy a meditative journey through the beautiful sounds of Quartz Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, angelic voicing along with other instrumentation.  Elaine utilizes her knowledge of Yoga and Sound to energize the chakras and restore balance to the body.  The trance-formative vibrations have the ability to bring you to a deep place of relaxation and awareness in order to connect you with your “Higher Intuitive Self”.  This is a multi-layered journey unlike any other.
