Embodying the Body Current®: Cellular Neuroplasticity
with Shanti Medina, RYT CPT CNSF and special guest musician Scott Medina
Ever wonder what issues are in your tissues? We all carry around our stories and perceptions of our life in the cells of our body. Explore the neuroscience of sacred sound and chanting through an embodied practice into the ancient wisdom and mindfulness of yoga therapy.
In this 4 hour LIVE MUSIC workshop, learn specific techniques to embody the unique intelligence and language of YOUR body wisdom through a sensory exploration of sacred sound, chanting, mantra, mudra and yoga therapy breathing practices and postures.
These accessible tools can be used in our every day life to release trauma, pain, misalignment and unconscious patterns while mindfully growing and toning a healthy, balanced brain through neuroplasticity. By embodying the neuromuscular pathways of communication between the mind/body/spirit, we align to our authentic nature in present moment time bringing to the surface areas that we can release and restore, integrate and align in that moment.
This first portion of this workshop is part lecture detailing the latest neuroscience research on the ancient practices of chanting, mantra and asana explaining why and how these practices align us to our true nature and support us in embodying our innate wisdom. The majority of the workshop will be experiential combining a unique and empirically proven blend of mindful breathing, organic movement, chanting sacred sound, mantra, mudra, yoga therapy postures and gentle trauma releasing yoga sequences that awaken and enliven the rhythm of our Body Current®.
Open to all levels of practice and experience.

INTRO: NEUROSCULPTING® TO NAVIGATE CHANGE with Shanti Medina, CNSF and YOGA NIDRA with Jeremy Wolf
If you’ve ever wondered why change is so hard, even when you know it’s in your best interest, it’s because we have certain brain dynamics that rely on our ability to predict our future’s outcomes. When our ability to predict is challenged by change the brain easily resorts to stress and fear. Join us in this introductory class where you’ll learn about this dynamic and go on two guided Neurosculpting® meditations in which you’ll rewrite your own relationship to change and uncertainty.
This class will end with a 60 minute potent Yoga Nidra session with Jeremy Wolf. Yoga Nidra is the ancient science of deep and complete relaxation that methodically allows one to be freed from conditioned behaviors, tensions, and self-limiting beliefs by restructuring one’s relationship to life and Self at the subconscious and unconscious levels. By unleashing one’s inner potential, and freeing them from the past, what remains is an innate state of peaceful equanimity.
No experience necessary.
THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD IN PERSON IN DENVER OR YOU CAN LIVE STREAM TO YOUR HOME ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
More about Shanti: EnergizeShanti.com/BodyCurrent
Jeremy Wolf is a Denver-based yoga and meditation instructor with initial training in Classical Yoga in India and a 500hr level training in Rod Stryker’s ParaYoga. His long-term practice of yoga nidra began in 1993, and he is certified in both the Satyananda and Amrit Yoga methods of yoga nidra.

Women’s Moon Mandala
Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means “circle”. It embodies “synergy” in which the unity of various components co-create a combined effect greater than the sum of the individual parts. This is the essence of a sacred circle of women joining together with a unified intention, bringing their uniqueness into the collective. We open heartedly welcome yours!
Shanti Medina and Ahva Lenay are passionate about co-facilitating this mandala gathering, but it’s really all about co-creating in sacred space with you! Stronger together, we shall call down the first New Moon of 2012. Together, and bearing witness for one another with hearts open, we shall tend to the seeds of intention planted in the fertile darkness of Winter Solstice. We are so excited to journey with you into the light of 2012! A new Era!
We will create ritual in safe and sacred space, journey with purpose, and together, create a soul collage which speaks to each one within the collective whole. All women of all ages are welcome.
Mandala Soul Collage Between now and then, we encourage you to gather images (1-5) that speak to the prayers and intentions you may already be, or wish to work with as you write the life story you are calling in. What is your mythos, the living legend that you are, or wish to embody? In circle we shall speak to the images with sacred intent to bring our new year intentions into form. The result will be a most wonderful collage, a story of our ‘womansoul’ and an amazing, one of a kind piece of art that you will be able to print if you choose.
Advanced registration required: Please contact Shanti at Shanti@EnergizeShanti.comThere will only be space for 25 women at this Moon Mandala.
Investment: $20 solo/$15 each if you bring a buddy ♥
