The Beauty of Boundaries | Online Workshop

Boundaries are our energetic containers - how we manage our life force both internally and externally. How we relate to setting and maintaining boundaries is hugely important - boundaries can have a positive or negative impact depending upon how we use their inherent power. Mindfully managed, boundaries support and protect us, and feed our spirits; when boundaries are applied incorrectly, we become depleted and energetically compromised. When we become skillful in setting appropriate and healthy boundaries, we actually create more freedom and joy in our lives!

Join Abby in collaboration with Bluebird Sky Yoga where you'll learn actionable tools to create a positive and elevating relationship with setting boundaries. We'll begin the workshop by defining different kinds of boundaries and how they impact our lives. We'll discuss the potential for stigma around boundary setting, and how setting boundaries actually makes us more compassionate towards ourselves and others. Then we'll explore a yoga practice that will be intelligently designed to help you to find and feel your most aligned self. You'll be given specific tools to learn how you can create a safe container for your own individual life force. We'll end the workshop with journaling, and a discussion of how you can use these embodied and actionable tools not only on your yoga mat, but also in your day-to-day life.

Personal Investment: $45

When: Saturday, April 17th | 12:00 - 2:00pm Mountain Time | 2:00 - 4:00pm Eastern Time

The Beauty of Boundaries | Online Workshop

Boundaries are our energetic containers - how we manage our life force both internally and externally. Boundaries have many definitions and purposes - and how you individually relate to them is hugely important in your life. They can have a positive or negative impact on our lives, depending upon how we use the power inherent in them. Mindfully managed, boundaries support and protect us, and feed our spirits. Used incorrectly, boundaries can cause drama in many aspects of our lives. Without boundaries, we can become depleted and compromise our energy. When we become more skillful in setting appropriate and healthy boundaries, we actually create more freedom!

Yoga Practices to Harmonize the Chakras | Online Workshop

Yoga Practices to Harmonize the Chakras | Online Workshop

  • Lighthouse Yoga Center - VIRTUAL WORKSHOP (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join Abby Dobbs in this special workshop where you’ll learn practices to connect with, empower, and expand your chakra energy. Chakras are powerful energy centers through which we uptake and transmute Source energy into our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

As yogis, the chakra system is our most direct and effective tool to work with our own individual energy fields. When we are stressed out or anxious, our physical and energetic bodies contract and tighten, cutting off our ability to communicate with Source energy. In this workshop, we’ll learn tools to soften and open our chakras so that we can harmonize more easily with universal energy.

The workshop will begin with ceremony to tap into the guidance of the Four Directions and our ancestral wisdom, followed by a Hatha-Inspired Vinyasa Flow practice to open and warm the physical body. Then, we’ll move through breathing practices and a guided meditation that will deepen the visceral experience of prana moving within and around the chakras. Each part of this workshop will build your skillfulness in feeling the chakras. You’ll leave feeling  relaxed and connected and with actionable tools to continue working with your chakras.

 Cost: $40 general / $30 Lighthouse Yoga Members

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
Mar
20
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.
