A mushroom microdose-assisted yoga practice.
Celebrating the winter solstice by candlelight. Sunray Yoga in collaboration with Immersive Therapies (a fully licensed and legal psilocybin service center) have teamed together in a new program of combining the healing qualities of microdosing mushrooms and yoga together in a group setting. Oregon is the first state in the US where psilocybin assisted therapy is legal and professional guidelines are in place.
We’ll set clear intentions before we begin our microdose journey. A medical facilitator with Immersive will be present for the entire experience. Sunray will lead the group in a guided meditation followed by a grounded & reflective yoga practice to honor this winter solstice cycle of rebirth & renewal in our lives. Prepare for deep rest and integration at the end of the session including some crystal bowl vibrations. Space is limited.
“Fruiting Bodies is a lovely, beautifully curated, heart-opening experience. For me, it’s a chance to experience yoga in a state of serenity and attention; attention to both my body and my emotions. It is a space to practice yoga in an attuned state of mind.”
Queer Focused Yoga at Now Yoga
Dec. 1st, 15th, 29th at 2pm – 3pm (every two weeks)
Now Yoga SE Division in Portland, Oregon
Queer focused Yoga is a space to experience yoga with our LGBTQ2SIA+ community. Right now we need a place where we can be fully accepted, where sexuality and gender isn't questioned, where we can be free to express our uniqueness in the world and feel safe.
Yoga invites us to explore ourselves deeply and connect with our divine spirit within. Now more than ever this is why queer yoga exists.
This class is open to all levels from beginners to experienced practitioners. It is welcoming to all LGBTQ2SIA+ and QTIPOC folx. Arrive early to meet each other and form new connections. Book directly through the studio to sign up.
