Summer is so full of fun, AND it's so valuable to find balance amidst the heat and energy so we don't get burnt out. This is a special invitation for you to join a specially curated workshop in partnership with Little House Acupuncture where you will experience some Chinese Medicine wisdom alongside yoga and acupuncture.

In Chinese Medicine, summer is the season of Fire - governed by the Heart and associated with joy. It's a time of peak energy and the highest highs.

As yang reaches its fullness, internal heat can build, leading to restless sleep, excessive sweating, and a racing mind - all signs the spirit needs balance.

This class is an invitation to slow down, and cool down. Expect a slow flow with gentle twists, leading to a long savasana. While you are resting with the support of props at the end of class, Nicole and Shelby will offer an acupuncture treatment that supports the Heart, brings a sense of calm, and releases excess heat.

More information and registration details can be found at YogaSanctuaryMpls.com/workshops-class-series

We are seeking inspired Yoga Practicioners that are looking to deepen their practice for 9 months starting Sept for our 230-hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training!

WE ARE OFFERING A LIMITED NUMBER OF OUTREACH SCHOLARSHIPS to those excited to share yoga with under-resourced or marginalized communities, and feel very passionate about studying and teaching yoga.

These equity-based scholarships are to support partial tuition for people facing financial hardship that belong to underrepresented identities in yoga spaces. People experiencing systemic racism as black, brown, indigenous (BIPOC) or Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) are encouraged to apply, as well as people of differing abilities, q***r folks, and people who have been historically marginalized.

In addition to financial support, this scholarship is grounded in a vision to create equitable access to yoga training for all people who will then extend yoga into their own communities through a "Train the Trainer" model of support and mentorship.

Past scholarship recipients have gone on to teach at local community centers like Sabathani, within the public schools, have become yoga mentors, business owners, and work in non-profit organizational settings.

This is COMMUNITY HEALING work. If you would like to extend this powerful gift to your community, we would love to hear from you.

APPLICATIONS DUE JUNE 15TH!

To learn more and apply visit https://www.yogasanctuarympls.com/200-hour-yoga-training or email [email protected]

How a simple, devoted Hummingbird restored my HOPE

"I visited my parents in Lake Havasu, Arizona this past February. There is a small, volunteer-built cactus garden in the state park near their home. Growing up in Minnesota with lush black dirt and so much rain, I’m always amazed at what can grow and bloom just in rocks with barely any water!

On the first day of my trip I was sitting on a bench in the garden for a long time, and I noticed a hummingbird buzzing to and from a tree. Hummingbirds are actually quite common in Arizona, so this was delightful but not a surprise. But there was such a consistent pathway back to the tree that I finally looked hard enough to see that she had a tiny nest there, and she would sit for several minutes in the nest.

I’m assuming there were eggs (or babies!) in there but I didn’t want to frighten her so I never got close enough to look inside the thumb-sized nest. But I did walk to the garden each day to visit Mama Hummingbird, and sometimes the entire time I was there she was just sitting in her nest.

Somehow her simple devotion restored some hope for me — that we can take care of each other, that we are meant to rest in our nest as well as work hard outside it, that love and hope are possible even in the desert times where nourishment seems scarce." @ Trainer & Yoga Instructor

A growing body of scientific research shows vibrational healing delivers mental, emotional and physical health benefits that include:
• Increased relaxation
• More restful sleep
• Greater sense of calm
• Improved overall resilience
• Decreased anxiety and depression

Please join us in this supportive community setting to experience the healing potential of therapeutic instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Wu Xing Gong and the human voice. We’ll begin with gentle movement and collective breathing before transitioning fully to rest in the healing frequencies.

As Spring gives way to the rising heat of Summer, this workshop invites us to pause and sort. Rooted in Five Element Theory, we will work with the Small Intestine and its role in physical, mental, emotional and energetic discernment. Through qigong, sound, and intention, we will explore how to clarify and refine this year’s intensified fire energy, so that what continues forward happens through the lens of a discerning heart.

Join Angie Ellen THIS FRIDAY at Yoga Sanctuary:

Our Holistic Yoga Teacher Training & Personal Transformation cohort has one more weekend - just 16 more hours of o complete before earning their YTT200 certificates!! It’s been a very big, very challenging year for all of us in Minneapolis… the impact of ICE invading our city was felt so deeply by our community that a few students decided to leave the program and lean into neighbor support.
❤️
So, as we come together this final weekend, it is with pride and gratitude for each student that made it through and also for our Trainers and for holding sacred space for learning, for practicing, for grieving, for supporting each student wholeheartedly.
❤️
Our 10th year of begins in the fall and we are accepting applications. If you are feeling a nudge to dive deeper into yoga philosophy, mediation, mindful movement, trauma informed practices, social justice through inclusive yoga, self transformation and collective connection, we hope to meet you at our INFO MEETING MONDAY, MAY 18 at 6-6:45p.
❤️
