Embodying Love: Valentine's Day Cacao Retreat
2025-02-15 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Halifax) | Inye Yoga, 300-2640 Bristol Cir, Oakville, ON, L6H 6Z7, Canada
This Valentine’s Day, step into a sacred space where you can nourish your heart, body, and soul. In this intimate workshop, we’ll guide you through a transformative experience focused on nourishing yourself and honouring the wisdom of your own body.
The workshop will begin with a warm, ceremonial cacao ritual to open the heart, inviting you into a space of self-compassion and connection. As the cacao works its magic, you’ll be led through some self-nourishing yoga stretches that focus on releasing tension in the heart area, allowing for greater openness and emotional freedom.
We’ll also do a heart-centered Kriya meditation, a journaling exercise, and Abhyanga, an Ayurvedic self-massage practice. These powerful practices will help you deepen your connection to your heart and awaken the love that resides within.
This workshop offers a beautiful opportunity to honour yourself and the loving energy that flows within you. Whether you come solo or share the experience with someone special (partner, friend, family member), leave feeling recharged, rejuvenated, and connected to the infinite love you hold within.
What to Bring:

Yoga mat
Comfortable clothing
A journal and pen
An open heart

Join us in this sacred space to celebrate the love that begins with you. You are worthy of care, of kindness, and nourishment.
Limited to 16 students

New Moon Yoga Nidra: Rest in the Altar of Your Heart
2024-11-02 14:00 - 16:00 | Inye Yoga, 300-2640 Bristol Cir, Oakville, ON, L6H 6Z7, Canada
Life can throw us many curveballs, hardships, and heartaches. We can tighten up, close off (trying to protect our heart), become bitter and cynical, and even begin to control our environment and others. This disconnects us from our own heart and others. But there’s another choice – to remain centred in love – to rest in the altar of your heart.
The more we rest in the altar of our heart and nurture our heart, the more we enjoy life and see the beauty around us. Even in the heartache, we learn to cherish the deep lessons that shape who we are and allow us to connect with others from a place of compassion and mutual understanding.
In this workshop, we:

Set a New Moon intention for keeping our hearts open
Explore the science behind the energetic power of the heart centre
Create boundaries to care for your heart and life
Create daily rituals around gratitude and keeping the heart open (for self and others) during challenges
Enjoy a Yoga Nidra practice to enter the cave of your heart
Amplify self-love, soothe the heart, and feel embodied with a tea (damiana and lemon balm) – we will have this at the end of the workshop

About New Moon Yoga Nidra
Nighttime is a time to turn towards stillness. In this stillness, we are closest to our truest essence. Add to this the powerful New Moon, which is void of light in the night sky. Out of this void and emptiness, all is birthed into Life. This is a great time to plant seeds of intentions at the start of a new lunar cycle.
We begin the session with a ritual to cleanse our space and honour the directions and elements. This practice is seen in many spiritual traditions.
We then move into a space of meditative self-inquiry (related to the New Moon in Scorpio and regarding Love and the Heart), revealing our seeds of intentions for the month.
As we rest in a Restorative yoga pose, we are guided into Yoga Nidra. I share practices passed down through my teachers (from the Sri Vidya lineage – Himalayan Institute). We offer our intentions to the Goddess.
Yoga Nidra (commonly referred to as yogic sleep) is an ancient Tantric Yoga practice that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia. In ancient texts, Yoga Nidra is a Goddess.
In this session, I guide you to a place of relaxation where the thoughts begin to slow down. You’ll move into a deep state of stillness (moving through the koshas), where you are unconditionally supported and awaken a connection to the infinite or Source.

Did you know that honey bees are not native to North America and were imported here? And yet they are responsible for pollinating most of our fruits and vegetables. This Yoga and The Bees session is a beautiful way to connect with yoga and nature.

Take a stroll through our pollinator path and learn about pollinators. Sit with 30 of our 800 beehives, and listen to the constant hum from our honey bees. Studies have proven that the humming (vibrations) from the bees calms and soothes the body and mind.

Yoga Mat
Optional: a yoga block and strap (or belt/tie)
Water
Sunscreen & Sunglasses

New Moon Yoga Nidra: Enter the Dream Lodge
2024-05-05 14:00 - 16:00 | Inye Yoga, 300-2640 Bristol Cir, Oakville, ON, L6H 6Z7, Canada
Perhaps you dream all the time but don’t know what they mean, or you don’t know if you dream because you can’t recall them. This workshop will provide you with tools and rituals to support and amplify the magical realm of the dream lodge.
My dreams have always revealed to me subconscious patterning that needs to be healed, as well as provide clues to the future (revealing what will happen, choices to make, and giving me signposts when I am on the correct path).
There are 4 states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and Turiya (which pervades the others). Yoga Nidra moves us to a place of awareness. The more we practice this, the greater our awareness in other states, including dreaming. We can remain aware in our dreams and also be able to recall our dreams (bringing illumination to what was once murky).
In this workshop, we:

Set a New Moon intention for the exploration of the dream world and raising awareness
Explore the 4 states of consciousness and how to bring awareness to the transitions
Implement rituals for the Dream World: pre-sleep ritual, journaling, bath, creating a dream talisman
Ask a question before sleeping and see how the dream world creatively reveals the answer
Enjoy a Yoga Nidra practice to increase awareness in the dream state
Amplify your dreams with a tea (reishi and mugwort) – we will have this at the end of the workshop
