Friday July 11, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

425 Rue Main, Hudson, QC J0P 1H0, Canada

Flexibility without strength can leave us vulnerable, but strength in a lengthened position creates resilience and control. This class focuses on end-range strength, which is training your muscles to engage while stretching so they become stronger in extended positions. You'll develop greater mobility and stability through dynamic movement, eccentric loading, and targeted activation techniques. Whether you're looking to deepen your practice, prevent injury, or move with more confidence, this class will help you build strength and control in your flexibility, making your postures more stable and resilient.

Yoga Flow and Soundbath

Friday July 11, 2025 9:00am - 10:15am EDT

422 Rue Main #101, Hudson, QC J0P 1H0, Canada

This practice is curated to gently move the body while cultivating full awareness of the breath. It focuses primarily on lengthening and stretching the muscles to invite fluency and ease into the systems. The class will promote softness and relief from whatever you currently manage physically and emotionally.

The Soundbath is a therapeutic full-body listening and feeling experience. Erica intentionally uses the resonance of gongs and Crystal Bowls to vibrate the cells to oscillate at a higher frequency to generate coherent cellular communication. The meditative practice will ultimately generate a quantum field of conscious awareness and phenomenal physiological healing. Give yourself permission to slow down, rest and receive.

Getting "Unstuck": An exploration of Social Presencing Theatre

Friday July 11, 2025 3:00pm - 4:15pm EDT

425 Rue Main, Hudson, QC J0P 1H0, Canada

The workshop will allow you to learn some of the basics of SPT, the Six Stances of Emergence and to explore the deep wisdom that your body holds. This will be done while moving with others in a gentle and freeing manner - – and while working on some real-life situations where you’re feeling “stuck”, that is, you don’t know how to move forward. Amazingly, while doing so, you will not need to disclose anything of a confidential personal nature to anyone. It is open to all ages, races and body shapes. It is an opportunity to tune in to and listen to your body and to allow it to lead you forward into new possibilities and perspectives.

Breathing: The Missing Link to Health and Wellness

Friday July 11, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm EDT

65 Cameron, Hudson, Quebec, Canada

La respiration fait l'objet de nombreuses idées fausses. Dans le monde de la santé, du bien-être, de la médecine et du yoga, la respiration a souvent été mal comprise et les conseils ont été incorrects et parfois même malsains. La respiration est le moyen le plus simple et le plus direct d'agir sur votre système nerveux, de réduire le stress et la douleur, de contrôler et d'améliorer votre humeur et votre physiologie, et de vous apporter un bien-être général. Ce cours promet de fournir des informations scientifiques précises et faciles à comprendre, de vous enseigner ce qu'est la respiration fonctionnelle idéale et de vous donner des outils que vous pourrez utiliser dans votre vie quotidienne et dans votre pratique du yoga pour vous sentir mieux que vous ne l'auriez jamais cru possible.

There are many misconceptions about breathing. In the health and wellness/medical and yoga worlds, breath has often been misunderstood, and advice has been incorrect and sometimes even unhealthy. Breath is the easiest and most direct way to impact your nervous system, reduce stress and pain, control and improve your mood and physiology, and give you overall well-being. This class promises to provide accurate and easily understood scientific information, teach you what the ideal functional breath is, and give you tools that you can use in your daily life and your yoga practice that will have you feeling better than you ever thought possible.

Saturday July 12, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EDT

422 Rue Main #101, Hudson, QC J0P 1H0, Canada

L'expérience d'éveil est un flux complet de travail respiratoire, de danse extatique et de voyage sonore. Elle est conçue pour amener chacun, par la respiration, le mouvement, la méditation et la fréquence, à ouvrir les flux de la paix intérieure, de l'équilibre, de la vitalité et de la joie.

Il s'agit d'une expérience en trois parties, qui comprend :

Méditation respiratoire : Ce style de méditation respiratoire est un processus doux qui se déplace dans les couches subtiles du corps et de l'esprit, apportant le calme, la paix et la capacité d'examiner les sensations de la pensée et de l'émotion.
Danse extatique : De l'autre côté du spectre, une danse extatique revigorante et sauvage sur une vague musicale complète, comprenant de la house organique, afro et progressive ainsi que de la techno mélodique, de la musique tribale et de la musique d'ambiance cosmique.
Intégration du voyage sonore : Un retour au corps et au calme, alors que les fréquences du paysage sonore et la musique d'ambiance guident l'individu vers un lieu de tranquillité, se terminant là où il a commencé.

---

The Awaken Experience is a full flow of breathwork, ecstatic dance, and sound-journey event. It is designed to bring one through breath, movement, meditation and frequency to open the flows of inner peace, balance, vitality and joy.

This is a three-part experience, which includes:

Breathwork Meditation: This breathwork meditation is a gentle process that moves into the subtle layers of the body & mind, bringing calm, peace and the ability to investigate sensations of thought and emotion.
Ecstatic Dance: On the other side of the spectrum, an invigorating and wild ecstatic dance to a full wave of music, including organic, afro, and progressive house, along with melodic techno, tribal, and cosmic ambient music.
Sound Journey Integration: A comedown, back into the body and quiet as soundscape frequencies & ambient music guide one back to a place of stillness, ending where it began.
