MAY is PELVIC PAIN AWARENESS MONTH!

Pelvic health issues are common but that doesn’t mean they are normal. Many people suffer in silence but there is much that can be done to resolve or improve pelvic health and reduce symptoms. Join Christina, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist and Registered Massage Therapist, in a supportive empowering workshop and discover how breath, movement, alignment, and information can support and promote optimal health of the pelvic region.

Pelvic Health Yoga Therapy is suitable for anyone with a pelvis, especially those who are experiencing pelvic girdle pain, low back pain, SI joint pain, sciatic pain, urinary urgency, incontinence, hip or groin pain, constipation, IBS, pelvic organ prolapse, balance concerns, core stability and functional movement concerns.

The focus of this workshop is to create awareness, reduce tensions, build strength and stability, and take charge of your pelvic health so it no longer controls your every move!

📖 Impact of Brisk Walking Alone Versus Combined with Yoga on Cardiovascular Risk Indices in Postmenopausal Women: Quasirandomized Controlled Trial

A recent quasirandomized controlled trial found that combining brisk walking with yoga led to greater improvements in key cardiovascular risk markers among postmenopausal women compared with brisk walking alone. A total of 139 women participated in the combined group. Favorable changes were seen in:

✅ Body mass index and waist/hip circumference
✅ Blood pressure
✅ Cholesterol

A gift for mom or that special someone!

Join us Friday May 8th for a deeply nourishing Reiki & Restorative Yoga experience held inside a serene Himalayan Salt Chamber. A space designed to support your nervous system, breath, and whole-body healing.

🧘‍♀️ Restorative Yoga
Slow, fully supported postures invite your body to soften without effort. Restorative yoga helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress and inflammation, improve sleep, and gently release chronic tension held in the body.

🤲 Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki is a gentle, hands-off energy therapy that supports emotional balance, relaxation, and the body’s natural healing processes. Many people experience a deep sense of peace, grounding, and clarity.

🌙 Yoga Nidra (Guided Rest)
Often called “yogic sleep,” Yoga Nidra guides you into a deeply restorative state between waking and sleeping. This practice can reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and leave you feeling profoundly rested, even in a short time.

Halo Therapy in a Himalayan Salt Chamber
Breathing salt-infused air may support respiratory health, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. The soft glow of Himalayan salt also creates a calming environment that encourages deep rest and presence.

This is an invitation to slow down, soften your breath, and allow yourself to be fully supported physically, energetically, and emotionally.

✨ No experience necessary
✨ All props provided, just bring a mat
✨ Leave feeling grounded, lighter, and restored

Spaces are limited. Reserve your spot and gift yourself an evening of deep rest. 💛
