Simply, meditation is sitting in stillness with an intentional focus such as breath awareness, affirmations or manifestations. Meditation is fittingly referred to as a practice as the chaos of life can create barriers in the mind that prevent us from fulling experiencing a state of consciousness.  During meditation, the mind is awake and active, yet focused on the intention. As the mind begins to enter a state of awareness, the physical body begins to drift off into rest.  

Meditation has many benefits such as promoting peace, calmness and clarity.  Beyond releasing the worry, anxieties and fears of the mind, meditation can release the tension in our physical body by clearing blocked energy in areas such as the shoulders, hips and even in the digestive tract. 

OP Yoga meditation classes consist of breath awareness, gentle movement and guided, intention-led stillness. As you sit in stillness, it is normal for thoughts to arise and the body to get antsy. There is no secret to "clearing the mind" in meditation and calmness takes practice, especially in times of stress. In class, you will learn tools to take you into a deeper state of awareness and consciousness. 

Yoga creates a union and connection between the mind, body and spirit.  It is most thought of as practiced on a mat but yoga traditionally is experienced well beyond the postures. It's a lifestyle to promote awareness, wellness, and wholeness. 

There are numerous benefits of practicing yoga  including easing stress, anxiety, fear and depression. It can create physical and mental balance, enhance self-awareness and increase physical strength and flexibility. Yoga can also improve the functionality of the heart, lungs, blood vessels and digestion. 

Yoga can be practiced by any-body, whether considered "flexible" or not. Yoga can be practiced with hand stands, back bends and binds or simply sitting in a chair doing gentle twists and arm extensions. Yoga postures, or asanas, can be modified for the practitioner to create an experience that is serving to them at the time of their practice.  Class sizes are small to create an intimate and personalized experience. 

OP Yoga classes have the beginner in mind but can provide the same benefit to all levels of practitioners. The gentle flows keep breath and mindfulness at the forefront while still generating vitality and endurance. 

Class sizes are small to create a customized experience for those who attend whether it's your first class ever or you are a regular practitioner seeking to deepen your Asana practice. 

Yes, you can ask questions before, after and even during class. Yes, you can giggle! And yes, we can create a united experience together as we grow in our own practice on and off the mat.

Reiki Natural Healing is a Japanese form of spiritually guided life-force energy used as a tool to heal blockages throughout the body.  It can be used to heal trauma, bring clarity to a situation and release shame, anxiety, depression and even physical ailments.

Reiki is a gentle and loving channel to release old energy that is not serving your highest potential. Old energy weighs us down physically, mentally and emotionally and manifests as inflammation, stress and unhappiness. Reiki meet your ailments at the root and gently draws it out to make more room for peace. 

Reiki appointments begin with connecting and getting clear on your intention for healing through a brief discussion.  If this is your first session, we will spend time going over the process of your healing appointment. You can then choose to receive Reiki seated or laying down on the Reiki table.  Halina will walk you through a short, guided relaxation then the Reiki session will begin. 

Reiki is performed with and without touch. Halina communicates with the signs your physical, mental, energetic and spiritual bodies share with her and facilitates healing by use of energy shifting, physical postures, vocal expression and intuitive communication. 

During your session you may experience changes in temperature, twitching, images and colors coming into your vision, deep thoughts, muscle tightness/relaxation and/or an urge to move. This is your mindbody's natural response to the energy that is shifting, opening and releasing as the healing energy flows. Emotional releases may present themselves. Know that you are held in a safe and protected space.

In addition to in-person, Reiki can also be transmitted at a distant. It's similar to the feeling you get when your best friend calls you from across the country. That energy, that love is present, even if the other person is not in the same physical space. 

Healing sessions are modified per the needs and intentions of each client.

Traditional Reiki trainings are typically organized in three levels:

• Level 1- Healing the self
• Level 2- Healing others locally and distant
• Level 3- Passing on the wisdom of Reiki

Each level of training comes with its own "bag of tools" to deepen and strengthen the connection to the greatest love created when sending or receiving Reiki.
