Upcoming Workshops and Events
- Despacho Ceremony
Christophe Leroy of Sacred Hoop Healing Ways will be hosting a Despacho Ceremony on March 14, 2010 to celebrate and support Street Yoga's 2010 progams. Cristophe is an energy healing practitioner whose practice is based on shamanic traditions of the Andes. For more information about Cristophe and his work, visit his blog. You can also find information about the Cristophe's practise at the Awakening Wellness Center website.
A despacho is a prayer mandala in the Andean spiritual tradition of Peru. Despachos are created to release the old and bring in the new: “despachar” means to “send off” or “release.” We will be creating an "ayni" despacho to bring harmony and abundance to our lives and communities. To come into "ayni" means to come into right relationship with one another, our families, our communities, and the world. When complete, a despacho is a beautiful work of art, a mandala alive with energy, filled with love, and pregnant with healing, blessings, and abundance. The event will take place at Sellwood Yoga and is open to all.

- Yoga Nidra
Bliss out in stillness as you recline back in corpse pose for the practice of “yogic sleep”. You are verbally guided into a "threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, where contact with the subconscious and unconscious occurs spontaneously." In this authentically relaxed condition, your true nature is revealed, creativity is increased, and intention strengthened. Boost energy and relieve insomnia - A 45 minute Yoga Nidra session is the equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep!
Please bring a mat, and bolsters or pillows as needed. Wearing layers is encouraged.
Melissa Chandra Kerry has dedicated a significant amount of her ten years of learning and teaching to the study of Yoga Nidra. Confronted with an inability to move or even sit comfortably, she turned to Yoga Nidra while healing through back surgery. She has helped hundreds discover for themselves that Yoga Nidra can benefit a wide range of needs from relief from insomnia to deep spiritual healing.
Chandra teaches at Concordia University and Exhale Studio, sits on the board for Street Yoga, and coordinates sustainability efforts at Portland Public Schools.
