Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga stimulates the flow of energy through and around the body, improving circulation, and lymphatic flow,  fostering radiance, and well-being. It strengthens the nervous and glandular systems, optimizing the functioning of the internal organs. Exercises are simple enough for anyone to do, but challenging enough for everyone to appreciate. The yoga incorporates movement, mantra and meditation, creating a depth of experience that lasts well into the following day. Abbe Anderson has taught yoga for 15 years.

Kripalu Yoga

Kripalu Yoga involves traditional hatha yoga postures and adds compassion. Holding a posture, awareness is focused inwards. The aim of this form of yoga is to love the body as it is. One delicious aspect of this form of yoga is the posture flow or meditation in motion. After following instruction in a specific posture, the body becomes the teacher, and moves spontaneously as a response.

A Kripalu class involves centering, warm-ups, postures, relaxation, guided breathing, meditation, and a final centering.

Mind Body Repatterning

Thinking and talking things through may be interesting, but the body may be instrumental  in creating lasting change. The body stores every memory and experience we have ever had. Mind Body repatterning identifies the key issues that need resolution, and does what is needed to clear the obstacles to realizing our heart’s desire. Sessions are deep, brief, and surprisingly painless and effective.

Abbe Anderson has synthesized mind body repatterning from her experience as a certified holographic repatterning practitioner, certified kripalu and kundalini yoga teacher, meditation teacher, with certification in educational kinesiology, and Reiki, workshops in continuum movement, breathwork, Raphaelite Work, acupressure, and years of experience using the emotional freedom technique, and EMDR.

Guided Retreats

Alchemical Retreat: Based on the model pioneered by the dervishes of Turkey and brought to the west by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, these two to thirty-day retreats take one from the mundane to the sublime and back again, rejuvenated with new awarenesses and skills to cope with problems that previously seemed insurmountable.

Healing Retrea
t: These  retreats increase one’s awareness of the mind, body, emotions, relationships and spirit, deepening our connection to the environment and to life. With this heightened sensitivity, our presence becomes more vast, light, and centered.

Holistic Retreat: Services include yoga class, mind body repatterning,  walks in nature, guided meditation, and healthy cuisine. Practices are individually tailored to meet the goals of the retreatant.

Integrative Retreat: Incorporates aspects of the above three retreats.

Meditation Class

Based on the teachings of the Sufi mystic, Hazrat Inayat Khan, classes include breathing practices, mantra and silence, cultivating an awareness of the ideal being within and our connection to the whole of existence.
