Yang to Yin: A Late Fall Practice
Saturday, November 4
12:30-2:30pm
Down Under School of Yoga, South End & Livestream
There is a time for doing and a time for being. Late fall can be a time for both, an active shedding of what no longer serves or is needed and a receptive turning inward to hold a devotional space for what that might mean for us. In this practice, first we will do a vigorous dragon flow before settling into a nourishing yin sequence that supports the metal element and the return to stillness. Ending in savasana, we will give space for our body/being to assimilate and regenerate.
Cost: $40

Solstice Yin: Celebrating the Light, Practicing in the Dark
Saturday, December 16
12:30-2:30pm
Down Under School of Yoga, South End & Livestream
During this solstice time, where the nights are the longest of the year, we honor the cycle of the natural world while we rest, turn inward, and listen. And we celebrate and call in the light.
In this gathering, we will practice a water-element yin sequence with the option of being in the dark. After a short rest, we will practice a meditation working with the consciousness of the sun/light in each of our energy centers. In extended savasana, an Ocean of Life healing will be offered. Join us for this quiet time of regeneration, receiving, and calling back in the light.
Cost: $40

Yin Certification Training and Flow Retreat in Mexico
This mixed track yoga retreat will be hosted by Emily Peterson & Cassandra Foster at Sun Beach- Acapulco, Mexico
If you are a 200 hr certified yoga teacher you can become certified by Emily Peterson in Yin Yoga and receive 28 Continue Education Credits to maintain your Yoga Alliance Certification.
If you prefer to relax and do some yoga, this retreat is a great way to deepen your practice and knowledge of both Vinyasa Flow & Yin Yoga. We will have a Vinyasa Practice in the mornings and Yin mid or late day. The perfect balance for a yoga retreat.
We will spend a week with those who will be enrolled in Mission Hill Yoga's 300 Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training run by Cassandra Foster.
This yin yoga training will provide students with the tools and knowledge necessary to lead an effective yin class, while simultaneously deepening their own yoga practice. This training will verse students in the fundamental concepts of yin—what it is, and how and why we do it. Research has shown that the consistent practice of yin yoga can improve measures of anxiety, depression and resilience. In this training students will learn how to enhance the processes by which this type of healing can occur, during a yin practice, through both modifications to the practice environment and conscious teaching choices that stem from a framework of trauma-responsiveness and the undergirding neurobiology of stress. We will begin to create a container and be introduced to a moment-by-moment teaching style and practice which can impact the internal experience of students and enhance self-inquiry, bodily awareness and healing. Throughout the training you will gain new depths of personal insight and awareness through direct experience of the philosophy behind yin yoga as practiced to amplify emotional and somatic healing.
By the end of the training, students will have an understanding of:
Philosophy and practice of yin yoga
The benefits of the practice
The Meridians and Five Elements
Fascia and connective tissue and their importance
Overview of the four foundations of mindfulness and the intersection of yin, mindfulness, and the brain
Four YIN sequences with modifications and options
Sequencing and messaging (creation and delivery)
Key concepts such as Trauma, ACES, Resilience, and Space and presence
An introduction to the impact of trauma, on the brain and body. Specifically how trauma impacts the skills that yoga strives to improve—and why this should be a consideration in a yoga class.
An overview of Trauma-Informed frameworks as applied to both the practice space and teaching choices. And how to use this framework when building or modifying a container—the built environment for practice.
Understand and put into practice teaching choices that mitigate stress response, promote relational connection and maximize the students' potential to experience the healing of the YIN practice.
28 hours Continuing Ed Credits for Yoga Alliance.

Yin and the Golden Gate of Pleasure: A New Year's Journey with Amanda Sibilia
One of the most powerful aspects in astrology is the nodal access - the moons nodes as they signify our psyche and emotional body and have a direct impact on our lives. In early 2022, they will switch signs for about eighteen months.
Durning our time together, Amanda will talk about the “golden gate of pleasure” that the North node in Taurus and the South node in Sagittarius have to offer us in 2022. Following the discussion, we will do a yin practice integrating somatically some of these themes and then we will close our time with a guided journey with the spirit of eagle.
This class will be recorded on zoom and will be available for three days, so if you can’t make it on NYE, you can practice and journey when it is right for you.
Cost is $33
Amanda is a professional astrologer who practices both Evolutionary as well as Shamanic Astrology. She is a champion and advocate for Love, Truth and Sovereignty. Her main goal for this channel is to help you remember the astrologer within and embody more of your sovereign light every day. Truth is we are all masters of light and can use astrology to help us accelerate our spiritual evolution while living our best lives.
In honor of this event, she will be offering a 45 minute reading for $111 to anyone who attends.
Radiating our Divine Light: A Solstice Celebration and Transfiguration Practice
The winter solstice traditionally is a time to recognize the cycle of death and rebirth. It is a time to reflect on the dark and honor, call in, and celebrate the light. This solstice, gather together to honor the dark and become the light. Transfiguration is a practice of being in our true essence as spiritual beings and radiating our divine light. It is not an intellectual exercise, or something to do, but a shift in consciousness which shifts our vibration. When we shift our vibration, our inner and outer environment changes. As above, so below... as within, so without.
In this workshop, we will start off with some gentle movement and rest to open and soften. We will learn about transfiguration and have ceremony. Following the ceremony, we will practice transfiguring and then do a healing session. Lastly, we will close with sharing, intention setting and candle blessing to celebrate the light returning.

Solstice Yin: Celebrating the Light, Returning to Hope
When we compress the dark, we compress the light. We we refuse to love and heal our shadow, we can lose touch with the ability to hope. During this solstice time, where the nights are the longest of the year, we can honor this cycle of the natural world while we take rest, turn inward, and to heal when the opportunity arises. Historically, it is also a time of great celebration and calling in the light. In this 90 minute gathering, we will practice a yin sequence that supports this process and also gives us an opportunity to feel where there is there is space and light, and thus hope. In doing this for ourselves, we are doing it for the collective. Following the sequence we will do a solstice ritual which includes intention setting and create candle sigils.
This event will be recorded and accessible FOR THREE DAYS. So if you can’t make it, you can practice as you like and if you attend live, you may want to practice again on December 21, during the time of the solstice.
I will offer THREE spaces to attend in person. After practice we will drink cacao and connect. If you are interested, please email me at emily@emilyhealing.com
When you register, you will be offered $30 off a shamanic reiki healing session with me to support you at this time. You can also give your session to someone else as a loving gift.
Energy exchange for class is $22 for virtual/ $30 in person. (If you are in person we can handle payment separately). If you are in desire of equity pricing, please reach out to me at email above.
Yin and Full Moon Release
Honoring this time and cycle of nature, we first will practice a yin sequence to open the body and begin to identify some thought patterns that no longer serve. Following yin, we will practice two meditations to connect with the source of these thoughts and then to release them. In final rest, I will send energy healing to all. Bring a journal and a candle and be ready to dive in knowing that how deep you go is always your choice.
Energy Cleansing and Circulation Practice
When smudging just isn't getting you there.... learn a foundational practice to clear and maintain a strong, and vibrant energy field.
this class will be included in the October monthly package.
Restful and Reiki
Restful and Reiki is back with Sandy Kalik! It will be virtual, which is not a problem as energy healing works across time and space.
Yin & New Moon Healing
Practice yin yoga while working with the astrological themes of the August new moon. During rest, you will receive distance reiki while going on a guided healing journey. We will close practice with intention setting.
