THE ART OF INTIMACY (3 hours)
This is a workshop in which with affection, humor, and a little courage we can
unveil the differences between men and women. The main purpose of this workshop is to have fun, and learn a few practices that will assist you in cultivating an uninhibited and devotional relationship with your intimate partner.
Sourcing from Hindu mythology we will visit the beginning of the world, when Shiva and Shakti met; the Hindu take on the ''Big Bang" theory. We will explore the feminine and masculine energy within each one of us, as well as the polarity these energies create in our intimate relationships.

"I can't thank you enough for the gift you have offered us. John and I have come closer than ever after your workshop. We now recognise the play of the Shiva Shakti polarIty and use it to navigate in our intimate relationship. We both still practice partner yoga and enjoy our dance more than ever."

YOGA AND THE LUMINOUS BODY (3 hours)
This is a Vinyasa Yoga workshop which employs shamanic techniques to assist the somatic release of stagnated energies. Both Yogis and shamans alike understand that traumatic experiences are stored in the body. Using shamanic techniques for freeing energy, accelerates our yoga practice and brings us in a deeper level of healing.
MIND – BODY – SOUL This workshop tends to the healing and evolution of all three perceptual states. Lecture for the mind, yoga asana for the body and soul retrieval for the soul.
MIND- THE CHAKRA SYSTEM In this workshop we will explore the chakras - what they are, how they work, and how they are connected to the endocrine and nervous system of our body. We will come to a deeper understanding on why we practice yoga and how we can use it in our everyday life.
BODY-YOGA ASANA Ray will provide knowledge, information and instruction on how to come into the “effortless equanimity and breath" of each posture, bringing your practice to a new level. We will study foundation, rotations, actions, drishti points, and breath.
SOUL –Shamanic JourneysSoul retrieval is a profound experience of self-discovery in the world of our emotions and soul, an empowering journey of transformation. By recovering old contracts we get rid of reoccurring patterns and events that hold us back in life... allowing new space for personal growth and spiritual evolution
Discovering the Shaman Within (1.5 hours)
I traveled to Peru hoping to meet shamans to assist my healing process and to learn from them. In my travels I discovered their culture, mythology, and shamanic ceremonies. I found a world of healing beyond my highest expectations and was given tools to work with, as well as the gift of experiencing a healed state of being.
In this workshop I would like to share with you a few of these gifts. We will explore a yoga practice through the shamanic view of moving energy, and Savasana as a portal to lead us into soul retrieval.
In order for us to heal and evolve we must tend to all three perceptual states. Weaving the Yogic practices with shamanic techniques offers a path to the center of the medicine wheel, a place of personal worth and power, and a healed state of being.
