Erica Heuer — started Iyengar yoga in 1994 with senior Iyengar teachers Barbara Ross, David McAmmond, Felicity Green + Rodney Yee. Ten years in, Vipassana meditation and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga opened new worlds including a six-year apprenticeship with Iain Grysak, RYT training with Richard Freeman, Tim Miller and Mark Darby, and, study with Kino McGregor, David Williams, David Swenson and Jeff Mah. All this led, in 2007, to teaching, which she delights in. Lifetime studies in movement, spiritual inquiry, natural health are ongoing and include: Restorative and vitality yogas, Critical Alignment Therapy, Qigong, breath science + breathwork, the healing powers of sound, herbalism, and the teachings of many, in particular, Ram Dass.

Philippe Mouchet — Certified Oxygen Advantage instructor, breathing and wellness re-set coach, sound medicine practitioner, long-time yoga + movement practitioner, Wim Hof practitioner, backcountry skier + spiritual explorer. Contact: malbacph(at)hotmail.com

Nancy Meagher — After decades of regular and irregular yoga practice across many styles, I came upon kundalini in 2012 and fell in love. I started practicing at RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science and Technology in 2015 and have had the opportunity to study with many, including Gurujas, Harijiwan, Tej and Gurmukh. I love how kundalini yoga incorporates music, mantra, breathwork, movement and meditation. It has had a significant impact on my life particularly in balancing stress and vitality. I aim for a relaxed vibe that stimulates the mind and gives an opportunity for strong physical practice, invigorating breathwork, deep meditation and sound. Contact: whitehorsekundalini(at)gmail.com

Dave Haddock — I've practiced yoga through different lineages – from Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram (hot), and most recently Kundalini Yoga. Here is where the worlds of music and yoga come together. Because of my deep background in music (I've performed locally for over 40 years), the teachings and practice of Kundalini Yoga have taken hold of me. With focus on the vibration of the sound current, rhythmic movements of the body with powerful breath and the use of mantra in meditation, I've met my match. I bring my love of the practice to class, and inspiration and encouragement as the yoga presents challenges and brings fun to the pursuit of our true natures, opening our hearts, building resilience, quieting the mind, and balancing the psyche. Contact: dave(at)davehaddock.com

Lonnie Powell — Is on a continued spiritual healing journey, navigating ongoing patterns of addiction and trauma for close to 30 years via rhythm and music. Currently serving the Whitehorse mental wellness community through integrated, inclusive drumming and therapeutic sound and vibration workshops in various incarnations and settings. Drumming has been my passion for 50+ years – the last 20 years exploring collective drumming and sound to help connect community, and for anxiety management, relaxation and joy for self and others alike. I am currently employed by YG in housing and addictions supports. I have a PhD in life experience. Plant medicine and alternative wellness practices are part of my picture since my first trip into the Amazon jungle in 2012. The transformation powers of drumming and holotropic breathwork – facilitated by none other than Stanislav Grof himself – in community in group settings came to my awareness attending the Psychedelic Conference in Oakland California where I and multiple others present (over 100 participants) experienced huge shifts in energies through that breathwork . I continue as a psychonaut and rhythmic explorer for joy and wellness for friends, family, audiences and community overall • Rhythms of Recovery . ICDC Level 2 Facilitator • Master Rhythmatist

Carrie Ekholm — I am a 200 RYT certified yoga instructor through South Okanagan Yoga Academy (SOYA). My classes focus on stretching + strengthening with mindful movement, proper alignment, and breath control, helping you to build strength, flexibility, and inner peace. I have a passion for promoting well-being with through the physical and mental benefits yoga offers.

Susie Anne Barsch — brings her Nia back to Whitehorse after several years of big life shifts. Having just completed her Nia Green Belt this summer she is excited to bring joy of movement back to the Nia community, old and new.

Cleansing the

Energy Meridians

Transpersonal Breath +

Sound Therapy together

with Philippe Mouchet

7:20 - 9:30 PM . $25

A gentler version of breathwork in that two short breathwork sections – to open the energy channels – marry with the therapeutic vibrations of two sound journeys featuring shruti, didge, jaw harp, and drum, and ocean drum, gong, flute, singing bowls and chimes.

Transpersonal breathing, simply, is constant breathing at a pace and depth that works for you, with emphasis on the inhale, expanding the diaphragm, so the exhale can be a release of the diaphragm. This breathing opens the meridians or energy channels of your body and changes the chemistry of your body. Examples range from tumo (Wim Hof) to firebreath or kriya variations in yoga, pranayama, qigong. Also known as conscious connected breathing, holotropic breathing, breath of bliss, and many more.

Sound vibration is proven to have a powerful effect on our minds and bodies. Research shows sound healing can slow down our brainwaves and put our bodies in a very relaxed, dreamlike state, and help with physical and mental health conditions and pain.

Sessions are led by Philippe Mouchet. Philippe discovered the power of focussed or intentional breathing in 2010 through Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and pranayama, and the Wim Hof Method. Breath became the focus of all his pursuits as he personally experienced it enhance self-awareness, upgrade his health and physiology, release mental, emotional and physical blockages, and elevate mood. Philippe is an Oxygen Advantage instructor (oxygenadvantage.com). He teaches a variety of breathwork including Kundalini kriya, pranayama, Buteyko exercises, and the Wim Hof Method. Breathwork led him to his second passion — sound and vibration – which he has practiced from the mountaintops of the Yukon to the Himalayas of Nepal and the combination of which is very good medicine indeed.

Breath is the sound of life in the body.

Sound is the vibration of life in the universe.

Power of Breath

with Lonnie Powell,

Philippe Mouchet + Erica

7:20 - 9:30 PM . $25

Please pre-register. Thank you.

"No one ever died from breathing."

"The doorway to your soul is your breath."

Power of Breath is accelerated, rhythmic breathing sustained over 1 1/4 hours, in a safe setting. Your life holds unlimited potential for growth. Nature teaches us that in order to grow, the old must first be released into the endless cycle of death and rebirth. If you are ready for change and in need of some inspiration, come breathe with us.

Based on breathwork that occurs in all cultures and many practices ancient and modern – among others Kundalini, indigenous breathwork, Dr. Stanislav Grof’s famous holotropic breathwork, Soma Breathwork, Transpersonal Breathwork, Dreamwise Breathwork, and so many more versions – holotropic means “moving towards wholeness” – the breathing ultimately quiets and empties your mind, giving you access to natural inner healing of your psyche; shifts in your life force and energetics: insights into yourself and the universe; access to solutions and creativity. These sessions are a collaboration between you the breather, and the musicians creating the evocative music that first keeps you breathing, and then supports your post-breathing experience.
