Description
Meditation is healing on every level, physically, mentally and emotionally.
In this class, we will learn many different meditation techniques along with breathing techniques, and hand mudras.
Meditation gives us a deep sense of happiness, for ourselves and for others.
Meditation is an accumulative practice, meaning the more you practice the easier it is to be in the present moment with a calm and gentle mind. We will discover how we can apply our meditation tools into our everyday life.
Meditation is not only practiced by spiritual beings but has evolved over the years in medical science, and sports psychology.
Let’s come together, to enjoy some very special meditation time together, in the lovely Align Holistic Studio.

Description
What is qigong?
Pronounced “chi gong,” involves gentle exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. Qigong has both psychological and physical components and involves the regulation of the mind, breath, and body’s movement for better posture and balance.
Along with practicing healing qigong movements, you will experience tapping certain areas of the body for optimum health and breathing techniques using sounds that represent certain organs for better functioning. Qigong movements are gentle and smooth, aimed for deep relaxation. When we can move and relax at the same time this is when the mind and body can truly heal.
The end of class is dedicated to a seated/lying meditation. With Sifu Kim’s healing teachings you will leave this class feeling joyful and at ease. 😊 “Happy Chi” 😊

Description
Hatha Yoga for your own healthy alignment includes an array of postures, breathing techniques and mindful energy practices to bring balance and connectedness between body and mind, focusing on detailed alignment cues and fostering deeper awareness of abdominal strength within postures, for your own journey to wellbeing.
Hatha yoga can be a starting point to developing a yoga practice and self inquiry by being introduced to yoga philosophy, yoga postures, breathwork and mindfulness.
Hatha Yoga is practiced at a slower pace, consistently revisiting the fundamentals of yoga, applying more static postures that are sequenced to align, balance and strengthen the body, to focus the mind and to promote spaciousness and flexibility of your being. This class is inspired by Iyengar Yoga.
Classes can shift though different sequences including moving the body in all directions; standing, seated and floor poses, side bends, forward and back bends, twists, inversions, core activation, restorative postures. A variety of props may be used during this class, including the wall.

Description
What is Tai Chi?
Tai chi is a gentle, low-impact form of exercise in which practitioners perform a series of deliberate, flowing movements, with slow deep breaths.
What makes the practice of Tai Chi such a unique healing art form? Tai Chi resonates on multiple levels: physically, psychologically, socially, philosophically and on a spiritual level. It is this multilevel combination that has been shown to improve complex chronic diseases that involve many systems throughout the body including the nervous, respiratory, endocrine, and immune systems which all interact with the cardiovascular system affecting how well the heart functions. Tai Chi encourages a gentle pre-natal breathing technique to help achieve longevity. Practicing tai chi also encourages the flow of chi along the meridians (invisible pathways in the body) unblocking any stuck or stagnant chi within the chakras and organs. With Sifu Kim’s insightful teachings, you will leave the class, feeling a sense of peace and harmony within.

Nathie Paquette
Nathalie (Nathie) has been practicing yoga and mindfulness for over 14 years. She really wanted to expand her awareness and savour the health benefits of yoga, meditation and sound healing. As a classically trained vocalist, her voice is her instrument for healing and wellbeing. Yoga practice and teaching has taught her a way to connect more deeply with herself and others and allowed her the space to grow during challenging times in her life. She discovered the beauty and fun in the simple things, being present in the here and now. Her passion grew into teaching.
“Yoga is a lifelong journey of awakening and remembering, a fine balance between being and letting be, continuously allowing the space for transformation and expansiveness, it really is the Art of Awareness” Nathie.
She is a registered advanced yoga instructor (RYT 500) with the Yoga Alliance and continues her education through CE workshops and training. Her YTT 200hr was in Maui Hawaii with Maui Yoga Shala (under Nadia Toraman (Owner & Founder), Jennifer Bonadio and Shakta, where she experienced the deeper connection of living with Aloha, expanding our awareness and generating abundance and collective healing. Her YTT 300hr was with My Vinyasa Practice (under Michelle Young (Owner & Founder), where she learned the many benefits of online community and other modalities that involve overall wellbeing and healing. Nathie recognizes that yoga is part of practicing compassionate self forgiveness, loving kindness, cultivating inner peace, and extending this out to others.
She developed her own Youtube channel (Aloha Nathie Yoga) during covid to assist the public with free home yoga & wellness practices during times of stress and isolation.
Nathie continues to pursue interests in yoga therapy, sound healing methodologies and yoga Nidra, as a way to deepen connection, wellbeing and balance.
She holds space for every Soul in her classes, and fosters the Spirit of Aloha in all.

Mahalo, Thank You, Merci, Gracias

Description
Restorative yoga is a slow and grounding practice and is also a quiet practice with plenty of space for silence and meditation. Vocal sound healing may be integrated in any practice through Nathie's singing, using vibrations to relax the physical and energetic bodies.
This class is designed to gradually open the body while prompting the Parasympathetic Nervous System to come online and initiate a healing response, and it can also calm the mind, release muscle tension and reduce stress and anxiety. In addition to healing, restorative yoga helps with injury prevention.
Restorative yoga practice complements exercise routines as well. In this class, we transition in and out of three to five poses total. Restorative yoga provides us with extra support using the wall, chairs, bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps.
Guided relaxation (Yoga Nidra) is integrated in this class, holding everyone in a safe space of deep seeded nourishment, peacefulness and wellbeing.
This class is inspired by Nischala Joy Devi, Richard Miller (iRest), Judith Hanson Lasater ❤️.
NOTE: Props are provided within the Studio. If you have your own props you would like to use during class, such as eye covers or any other, you are welcome to bring them along.
