Bekah's time, energy & passions are interwoven through these sacred areas.

 

Yoga: Yoga is an ancient path focused on reducing suffering. The heart of Yoga is connecting the body, mind, breath and spirit. One of the many goals is to just feel better than when you started. There are many simple ways to practice Yoga including lengthening/deepening the breath (Pranayama), stretching the spine (asana) and focusing the mind on one thing and staying with it (Dharana/Dhyana). Bekah has been teaching Yoga for over 6 years and is always learning something new. In the west, we are particularly drawn to the asana, the physical poses of Yoga. Here are her favorite asana styles to teach and practice:

~Restorative (as taught by Judith Lasater): Combines the appropriate spinal movements with physiological relaxation tools to both balance the body, calm the mind and RELAX the whole person. Poses are held for up to twenty minutes and this style is very powerful for anxiety, depression and pretty much anyone who has stress. Bekah uses lots of props, support, breath and creates a safe space to let go!

~Chandra Flow (inspired by Adelheid Ohlig, Vicki Howie and Vicki Noble): The poses focus primarily on the "feminine" energy centers of the hips, belly and heart and the class is inspired by the current lunar cycle. An incredible practice for anyone (especially women) who need to break away from the masculine, solar, go!go!go! pace we usually live in. The emphasis is on tuning in to our receptive, intuitive, creative, nurturing and sensual side. An incredibly healing practice for women and men alike.

~Vinyasa Flow: Linking breath and movement in this detoxifying, energizing and prayerful practice.

Women's Mysteries: Thanks to the efforts of Vicki Noble, Zsuszanna Budapest, Adelheid Ohlig and many, many other amazing women, Bekah has been passionately exploring the history of women's cycles and the healing powers that accompany them. She has been applying them to her own life as well as sharing them with others through Yoga, women's gatherings and private shamanic healing. Bekah encourages and facilitates ceremony for all sacred mysteries:

~Baby Blessing (birth)

~Menarche ritual (1st blood)

~Bridal Blessing

~Marriage Ceremony

~Mother Blessing (pregnancy)

~Croning Ritual (menopause)

~Lunar Rituals (New, Full and Dark moon ceremonies for personal empowerment and to support healing, female balancing as well as increase creativity, fertility, empowerment and manifestation abilities.

~Seasonal Ceremonies (As mama earth changes, so do we. Following and celebrating the seasons ie Spring and Autumn Equinoxes/Summer and Winter Solstices, cultivates a healthy body, mind, spirit, emotions as well as connecting us to our big mother.)

For many women, the disconnect from their cycles is the norm and it can be overwhelming to even think about transforming that connection. Bekah loves to share yoga poses, herbs, crystals, books and ritual to start to heal these old female wounds and teach women to tap into their own natural cycles and the power that comes with it.

Shamanic Healing Techniques: Shamanism is the oldest healing system in the world and is found in nearly every culture that has ever existed. It is not necessarily religious, but the healer does connect to the spirit world to receive guidance and healing for whoever is seeking it.

Thanks to her wonderful teachers, Bekah is well trained in Shamanic journeying, healing, divination, power animal retrieval, spirit retrieval, extraction, Chakra clearing and balancing. Bekah uses her beloved tools: drums, rattles, tarot, crystals, stones and movement to facilitate these healing techniques.
