Psychic Circle

Psychic Circle

Maa Yoga & Wellness Studio (map)

Open your heart and mind in a beautiful, safe circle of like-minded people where your gifts of intuition, extra-sensory perception and divination are enhanced and supported. 

As well as you having the opportunity to receive and give messages from Divine Spirit, experienced practitioners will share their wisdom, offer guidance and answer questions that are often not addressed in our everyday lives.

In this non-judgemental space, the circle unfolds in two parts. We begin with a transformative meditation to balance and clear your own energy systems, help you awaken your “clair” senses and create a clear connection to higher consciousnesses. The second part of the circle is all about fun! With no expectations, just curiosity and open minds, we delve into the world of receiving and giving messages.

No experience is required. Being in the energy of a circle and letting your intuition flow freely, you will be amazed as you watch the magic unfold. You are encouraged to bring your own Oracle cards if you have them. 

Bring your mat, meditation cushion or anything for your comfort to sit on

About your facilitator

Janet Murray – Energy Healer, Past Life Regression Facilitator, Psychic and Tarot Reader

Being taught to push through, work hard and not think about how I felt (both physically and emotionally) brought me to a crashing halt in my early 40s. At that point, I began taking more time for myself, doing inner healing, and enthusiastically exploring Energy work. Through this journey I realize that I have always been very connected with Energy and that I get great joy helping others in this way.

I am an Energy Healer, Past Life Regression Facilitator and Psychic Tarot Reader. I have always been very connected with Energy. Reiki was a natural fit for me and I have expanded my full Reiki certification into other forms of Energy Healing including knowledge of physical and energetic systems, how to use energy to support the parasympathetic nervous system, restore balance, and help facilitate the body’s natural ability to heal. I have a great passion for this work because I have seen the incredible, positive changes that can occur.

As a Past Life Regression Facilitator, I offer both private and group sessions. Past life regression is a great way to access Soul memories.  Our Soul remembers all our experiences as one long journey and does not differentiate this body, this life from others. The information that you gather in these regressions can help you navigate your current life in a positive way.  A past life regression also allows for Karmic healing. 

Tarot is another wonderful way to connect with Spirit. Sometimes it is hard to understand the help and messages Spirit is trying to convey.  As a Psychic and Tarot reader I get great joy from helping people connect with Spirit to find answers, compassion, clarity and direction in this sometimes difficult life.

Join Jane for two immersive Vinyasa Flow workshops. Dive deeper into your practice as we break down and build up hand balances and binds, tailored for those attending drop-in Flow and Power Flow classes who are looking for more time and space to play.

We'll focus on refining your understanding of asana (postures), working with the idea of progressively building the shapes from week one to week two. Gain a deeper awareness of your personal alignment and feel empowered to embody each pose with grace and strength.

Early bird sign-ups will be invited to request specific postures. Join us as we explore the expansiveness of asana.


ABOUT jane

EACH BREATH, EACH MOVEMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND BALANCE

I took my first class in 2003 and quickly found, in the busyness of life, a challenging practice of coming home to myself. Over the years yoga has invited me to come back to the present moment, breathe through tension and grief, increase mobility and flexibility, and build strength. After many years of classes, workshops, and trainings, I began teaching in 2019. 

My teaching is influenced and informed by many lineages and modalities including Vinyasa, Flow, Vinyasa Krama, Hatha, Restorative, Iyengar, Anusara, Movement Method, Mindfulness, and Pranayama. My classes are creative and intentional. Each breath, each movement is an opportunity to find balance – between strength and softness, form and function, rigidity and fluidity. I am passionate about daily movement on and off the mat and sharing yoga in community is my favorite way to explore the ways we can move through the world.

What can people expect? A lighthearted, thoughtful and dynamic exploration of shapes and breath guided by music to fuel your movement.

Intro to Somatics

Intro to Somatics

Maa Yoga & Wellness Studio (map)

Join Erin for an introductory somatic movement workshop. Learn about the somatic perspective, and experience a deeply relaxing somatic practice to nourish and let go.

The word "somatic" can be applied to movement, counselling, and other therapeutic practices. This workshop will provide education on what connects these practices together, and will explore how to use a somatic perspective in your own life practice. The workshop will be completed with a somatic movement practice that will help you let go of tension in the body and mind, and leave you feeling restored.


About erin:

Yoga became a key part of Erin’s life when she was 13 years old, struggling to manage the pressure of performing above and beyond in every aspect of her life.

The mat became her safe space to heal and honor how she felt over how she performed.

Informed by her experience as a personal trainer, and almost 10 years of teaching yoga, her classes invite the student into a practice of curiosity. 

Students can expect mindful movements with great detail to form and intention, a nurturing space to honor their body over anything else, and a connection to core, whether it’s through simple breath work or fiery core work, depending on the class style. 

Come ready to feel, and receive permission to be exactly as you are.

Sound & Vibrational Healing

Sound & Vibrational Healing

Maa Yoga & Wellness Studio (map)

You’re invited to this unique 90-minute sound bath to slow down, rest, and receive healing vibrations while immersing into a soundscape of Symphonic Gongs, Crystal Singing Bowls, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Ocean Drum, Harmonium with vocal over toning, and more.

Using the full spectrum of sound and vibration, the brainwaves slow down to cause an involuntary state of deep meditation, which allows the nervous system to reset & the body to go through several self-healing processes

Join Carolyn on a special journey to transform stagnant patterns and old stories through breath, with live crystal bowl healing. Breathwork is an effective tool for transformation, release and optimal wellness.

Carolyn guides the entire workshop experience with openness and many options for each individual.
Over 90 minutes, there will be pockets of time spent journaling, in quiet contemplation, practicing different types of soothing and energizing Breathwork, crystal bowl meditations and sharing. We gently build towards an Active Breathwork Meditation (similar to Holotropic / Wim Hof). If it's your first time, you will be encouraged to go slow and keep it light.

BRING: a notebook and pen, extra sweater, mat & blanket, water bottle.
