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!

Personal Investment: $125 before Dec 1st ($150 after)

Sacred Skills Academy w/ Jambo & Abby

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.
