Adult Class:
We’d be honored to have you join our essence community raise funds to help with baby Zack’s medical care. Zack is Diana’s nephew that has had numerous, serious medical needs since the time he was born. He is about to turn 1 year old and his mom and dad have been significantly overwhelmed since the day they found out he was coming. Not only was baby Zack not expected on their journey 8 years after having their last child, but the medical care has been very significant. Zack is still, yet, in need of another open-heart surgery when his doctor’s feel it is most safe and most needed...he’s had one major open-heart surgery already. After 12 days in ICU this winter when his condition became very worrisome with a serious virus and pneumonia, Diana decided to offer this class to help them cover his mounting medical bills. Come enjoy our essence community and staff, a beautiful yoga class followed by a healing/sound vibrational session with essential oils, crystal healing, and reiki. No experience is needed.
Adult Class Cost:
$25 cash or check minimum donation
Kids Class:
Bring your kids aged 5-8 to join Maggie for a VERY fun yoga class! She will offer games, snacks, and a fabulous learning experience! No experience needed.
Kids Class Cost:
$15 cash or check minimum donation per child
**Sign up online free to reserve your space.
**Please cancel out if you find that you cannot make it to allow others in to the class.
**Please write checks to essence and we will present Zack’s mom and dad, Tracie and Jason, with one check.

The inaugural 300-hr YTT program is underway!
If you have completed a 200hr YA accredited program already, you can start our rolling 300hr curriculum at any point. For more information email
Diana Spiess.
"The Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) offered through Essence under the guidance of owner Diana Spiess is {SO} much more than a yoga teacher training. It is an immersion into health and wellness exploration and education through
multiple modalities. We’ve covered topics such as nutrition, essential oils, energy work, and crystals to name a few. While in the end you earn your certification to teach yoga, the certification is minor compared to the overall life altering transformation you will undergo. Diana is constantly seeking out new opportunities of growth for her students by expanding upon her own education. Her wealth of knowledge is vast and unparalleled."
–Mercedes Wise, M.Ed., 2016 graduate

Understanding Inversions
No one ever needs to aspire to do head stands, hand stands, or shoulder stands to receive the benefits of inversions. There are numerous ways to practice inversions in yoga and Diana has taught them very successfully to assist kids with concentration issues at school, helping people get to sleep more deeply and easily, calm anxiety, bring better focus, and so much more. She will cover why they help physiologically and then will take the group through a practice. All levels of practice are welcome and will be able to practice in this workshop.

First Time Offered at Essence!
SomaEnergetics Phase I Practitioner Course
|
|
When:
Friday, May 4th 6-8pm
Saturday, May 5th 10am-6pm (1 hour lunch)
Sunday, May 6th 12pm-3pm
About the Course:
Sound/Vibrational Therapy is an incredible way to assist the health and well-being of anyone! Diana is now certified to offer Phase I for SomaEnergetics as a practitioner course and is excited to teach anyone interested in learning how to use these amazing frequencies! From the SomaEnergetics site:
The Energy Vitality Technique taught in the Phase 1 course is the basis for all the other techniques taught in subsequent courses. Only by activating the energy the client is not using, connecting them to 5th dimensional energy, and then safely distributing that energy throughout the energy centers can we then do additional work with the open system we just created.
Activating unused energy and reminding them of their connection to the universal source is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone. When we have extra energy beyond survival, then we can manifest, heal, attract wonderful co-creative partnerships and friendships. That is the genius of the Energy Vitality Technique - giving the gift of the ability to manifest your hearts desire!
The Energy Vitality Technique offers the following:
- Reconnect with your inner energy potential using the ancient Solfeggio frequencies to balance and impart harmony in your life.
- Sound is a way to free blocked energy, thereby creating openings in which novel choices are awakened and new-found energy becomes available for personal transformation, health and healing.
- These protocols may be used immediately after training for both personal and client-centered application.
As with all our workshops, this is a work in progress. Most disciplines are ever evolving as new information becomes available or new techniques are discovered. It is our desire to become a contributor to the new field of sound therapy and energy medicine that is fusing spirituality and science.
As we learn and work with clients, we must always return to the foundation of our work as Spiritual Healers. With intention, the Divine works through us to assist the client to return to homeostasis or balance allowing the body to make the corrections necessary to heal itself. We do not heal anyone. All or our techniques are designed around this principle of Divine Healing through intention to bring balance. The tuning forks are a tool used to direct this divine healing energy.
|
|
Cost:
$550*
*This includes manual, practice DVD, the 6 Chakra Tuning Forks, an Om Body Tuner, and the training.

- Spaces are limited to 12 for this course.
- Sign up online or by calling the studio ASAP.
- No refunds will be given for missing or canceling within 72 hours of the beginning of this training once registered.

It’s time to ‘spring into action’!
|
|
This is an amazing, energizing time of the year...and so many are already beginning to work on their bodies by detoxifying from the winter. Just this week, I’ve taught 2 yoga classes specific to detoxifying and the participants not only felt great but they also had insightful questions and new awarenesses.
It’s very often that we associate detoxifying our bodies by changing what we are or are not eating, using herbs and other supplement, and possibly using things like cleanses. These all can be very powerful practices and I always include nutrition no matter what the topic of health. However, there are many ways we can breathe, move our bodies, and meditate or use mindfulness to assist in detoxifying as well. Just practicing a deeper, slower breath with a focus on elongating and completing our exhales is a very powerful way to bring our nervous system into rest and digest mode and release anxieties and/or worries.
Using Himalayan salt lamps are great for bringing negative ions (which are the good one) into our spaces to counter the positive ions (these are the bad ones) given off by electrical equipment. Adding Epsom salts and maybe some lavender essential oil to a bath can help to cleanse our Aura (energy field). Having a clear crystal quartz on our body can help with lifting vibrations from low or imbalanced frequencies/vibrations. And, doing yoga poses (asanas) such as side bends, gentle inversions, or twists, while breathing deeply, can help our bodies in releasing toxins through our lungs and/or large intestine. Effective nutrition, along with taking a high-quality supplement with magnesium at night can not only help in getting better rest, can also assist in easier release on the colons in the morning.
These are just a few ways we can assist our bodies and our being in detoxifying. If you are considering joining my ‘Essence of Wellness’ Health Coaching program, many of these will be covered in much detail with practices for each and many more ways to detoxify. The process of letting go of what no longer serves us must be practiced to make space for all the things that bring us joy and are calling to us. This is the essence of balancing our being and awakening to all this journey has to offer us.
Wishing you an amazing start to your spring.
We look forward to seeing you at the studio!
Namaste,
Diana
