Emerging from the Cocoon: Aerial Yin & Sound Bath SOLD OUT

This 2 hour workshop will have you floating in aerial silks, accompanied with an Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl Infusion, creating a deeply transformative experience. The intention of our practice is to tap into the inspiration that can be found in a butterfly’s perseverance and patience to transform from a caterpillar through the process of the cocoon.

Hayley will lead you through a restorative aerial yin yoga practice, using aerial hammocks to help you feel held and supported.  Explore deep stretches allowing you to fully open your body and mind.  Like the butterfly, it shows the world that changes can be beautiful as you open and expand your energy and awareness after constructive rest and contemplation while in the cocoon of the aerial silk.

Cradled by the silks, you will also be guided through breathwork and meditation to anchor you into the practice, including a touch of Reiki to help you feel at ease and connected to yourself.

At the end of the practice, enjoy a relaxing sound bath savasana, suspended in the floating cocoon of your hammock.

Valerie will guide you into a journey of mystical soundscapes, perfectly suited to further your exploration of self within the medicine of movement, stillness and meditation.

Sound is an invitation to turn inward, to reunify the body, mind + spirit by utilizing a holistic and regenerative medium to gently access and treat the physical and non-physical bodies.

No previous aerial yoga experience or flexibility required, our goal is that everyone feels comfortable and supported in their practice.


We are excited to weave these beautiful techniques together into one immersive experience.

Goal Setting Workshop

Goal Setting Workshop

Join Trish for this goal setting workshop! 

We may think that being mindful means being present in the moment - so what does that have to do with goal setting for the future? 

Mindfulness is also about being intentional and purposeful about how we're living our lives - the opposite of living on autopilot. In this way, mindfulness is all about being present NOW and making choices in this moment that support where you want to go in the future!

This session will include:  

  • an exploration of your values so you can set meaningful goals to YOU (instead of goals based on what your family, friends, or culture tells you to do!); 

  • a visualization component to help you imagine and dream of the life you want 

  • a breakdown of how to write a goal and explanation of the two most common categories of goals 

  • an exploration of how to respond when we encounter challenges and even failure in our goal setting

1 SPOT LEFT!

The Hours for the program are:

Friday - 7:15pm-8:45pm

Saturday - 12:00pm-5:00pm

Sunday - 1:00pm-5:00pm

The Cost:

EARLY BIRD Investment - $249 + GST (ends September 15, 2022)

This training will give you the confidence to teach a safe and intuitive class. You will be given a sequence & training manual to use as a backbone as you explore ways to support and restore the body using the aerial hammock. With the focus on holding supported postures and exploring gentle inversions, this practice creates a sense of space and release in the body. Aerial yin is a great practice for those who cannot access a standard aerial class, or for those wanting to get the benefits of aerial in a more restorative/yin setting to elevate their practice.

 This 10-hour training will be based on trauma informed and inclusive practices. During the training you will be given plenty of time to practice teaching to get used to cueing transitions in and out of the hammock.

 Previous experience teaching yin yoga is helpful but not required as we will explore the basic principles of yin yoga which we will then apply in the hammock. Those who are interested but have not gone through an aerial training are still welcome to join in. 

This training is open anyone looking to dive into an aerial yin practice.

No prerequisites are needed for the training - all levels welcome!

In order to teach Aerial Yin Yoga with this training, you will also need a 200 hour YTT under your belt.

Join Doctor Monika Herwig for 3 days of connection, to unlock your feminine power and manifest your vision.

“These are potent times for women and our world. We can't be sitting on the sidelines with our gifts anymore. 🦋 Women are awakening to a new stage of evolution where we are not willing to simply get by or go through the motions.

We want to feel fully alive and to thrive.  To make a difference. To live, work and love without holding back and to give the unique gifts inside us in a way that is fulfilling and impactful (with our own well-being in mind). We are defining success on our own terms”.

You’ll be sharing your weekend with an intimate group of conscious, fun loving, growth mindset, soulful women supporting one another in igniting and amplifying your power as creators (vs reactors) in your life!

The group format is so potent in this work where another woman’s breakthrough has the power to catalyze your own 👑

During our time you'll be guided to create a breakthrough in one or two of 8 areas: 1. cultivating authentic confidence, 2. attracting or deepening loving relationships, 3. discovering your purpose, 4. expanding your prosperity in a way that is aligned, 5. nurturing your health and radiance, 6. enriching your creativity and bringing joy, 7. deepening your connection to a higher power, 8. increasing your power to impact the world with your gifts.
