with Kerry Hagner
Join Myofascial Release (MFR) Practitioner, Kerry Hagner, for an April class series which includes gentle movement, guided self-myofascial release techniques using principles from the John F. Barnes Approach to MFR, and “free play” for you to explore and create your own releases based on the needs of your body. Kerry will be available for support and guidance. Fascia is everywhere, enveloping our muscles and other tissues and providing our bodies with structure. This highly adaptive web transforms to the changing needs of our bodies and shields our vulnerable structures from trauma. But it can be too good of our job, holding postures (and experiences) that no longer serve us.
The goal of this series of classes is to learn to feel into your internal architecture, experience release, and start to learn to listen to your fascial voice – communication via sensation within your fascia system – to better understand the needs of your body. While class will have an initial focus on a region of the body, the principles of MFR are whole body principles. You are welcome to come to one or all classes in this series – although there is a cumulative benefit of regular practice. Following this series, classes will be held monthly.
Fridays, 5-6:30pm
April 7th – Pelvis, Hips, & Low Back
April 14 – Chest, Back, Abdomen
April 21st – Arms, Shoulders & Legs
April 28th – Neck & Head
$20 per class, $60 for series

5Rhythms Heartbeat Workshop with laura martin-eagle
Within each of us dwells a beating heart playing out the rhythm of our lifetime. Traumas and dramas, joys and surprises~all the stories that we have accumulated and those yet to be experienced. In setting aside our stories we can begin to find the medicine that comes with being in the beat of the present moment.
In this 5-day workshop, we will traverse the emotional map of our beating heart through a journey of rhythms. We will invite the teachers of fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion to bring us into the beat. We will purposely be PRESENT in the beat of our own hearts. Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythm’s Heartbeat map will be the safe container that holds our emotional stew as we move towards PRESENCE with our tender hearts. I hope you will join me in this exploration to deeply listen to our Beat. Heart. Now.
laura martin-eagle has been studying, performing and teaching various dance forms for over 50 years. She is a certified teacher of 5Rhythms® Waves level since 2001 and Heartbeat level since 2010 trained by Gabrielle Roth. She is a member of the 5Rhythms Teacher Association (5RTA).

On this full moon join us for an experiential workshop to align with the current energy on the planet as we journey through our energy centers and experience intuitive breathwor
Breathwork is the purposeful application of conscious, connected breathing in a group setting, guided by Cassie and the Spirit of Breath, and held within a sacred container of a therapeutic intention, relationship, and community. For thousands of years, humans have found by changing the rate, ratio, volume, and flow of the respiratory cycle, there can be experiential and perceptual shifts in consciousness, spiritual awareness, cognition, and self-identity. More recently, when applied therapeutically, the shifts experienced in conscious, connected breathing seem to be linked to a deeper sense of inner connection, somatic groundedness, emotional empowerment, and psycho-spiritual integration.
Considerations: This style of breathwork can be demanding physically, energetically, and emotionally; therefore we do not recommend it for anyone that is pregnant, has cardiovascular disease, severe hypertension, severe trauma exposure, epilepsy, or has had recent major surgeries.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to hello@cassieljones.com.

with TRE provider Mariel Ferreiro
Trauma/Tension Release Exercises, commonly known as TRE, is a practice created by David Berceli, Ph.D. “TRE is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.” (Berceli). By utilizing these low impact movements along with self-regulation techniques, individuals can activate a safe natural reflex mechanism of shaking, often called a neurogenic tremor. The provider will guide you through the exercises while maintaining a safe and controlled environment allowing you to tremor or shake out existing muscular tension.
Experienced practioners* are invited to a bi-monlth group shake. We will gather together to go through Dr. Berceli’s seven exercise sequence, explore our body’s natural tremor, and learn this great self-help tool to better manage daily stress and trauma. TRE group shake will be held on the first and third Saturdays of the month.
TRE is for all and we will accommodate and make it accessible as much as possible.
*This space is intended for folks who have experienced TRE with a certified provider. If you are interested in a beginner session, please reach out to mferreiro60@gmail.com to discuss.
with Malika & Clark
Come sing with us! Kirtan is from the Indian tradition of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, and is practiced by group singing of simple mantras and the names of the divine in various archetypal forms. Whether one comes to kirtan for a sense of community, the joy of devotion, or the pure love of singing, chanting together can lead us to connect with the peace and stillness that is inherent within each of us. No prior experience is necessary.
Malika & Clark have studied traditional Sanskrit chants with Geetanjali Tiwari for 15 years. They lead chanting and Dances of Universal Peace in a variety of settings.
This class is free ~ Tips for the teachers are greatly appreciated.
