with Jon Orsini and Lexi Major
As the mind becomes increasingly more dominant we often connect less and less to the innate wisdom of our bodies. Supported by music, this modality of breathwork guides us to be deeply in touch with our energetic body, helping to clear stuck, stagnant energy, accumulated stress and anxiety–allowing us to release old patterns and arrive fully in the present moment, welcoming new ways of being.
Beginning with Breathwork, this workshop will then transition into a specific type of guided meditation called Yoga Nidra. Often translated as "yogic sleep", Yoga Nidra is a state of relaxation, where the body "sleeps", the mind remains conscious, and deep restoration and rejuvenation can take place.This workshop will be a chance to step out of the everyday, and into a zone of deep relaxation.Jon Orsini is a certified breathwork guide, meditation and mindful archery instructor on the faculty at Kripalu Center. He began guiding after many years as a multiple award winning Broadway and film actor.
