Massage Basics (a class for couples) with Kari Iverson and Jordin Rodondi
This class is an opportunity for those who are interested in bringing awareness to their bodies, enhancing their mind-body connection, and experience giving + receiving safe touch.
As a Massage Therapist, I see the benefits of touch every day. Yes, massage can relieve physical discomfort like a champ, but the power of touch goes way beyond that, and HELLO Modern Massage is hosting a special event where you can experience first hand how touch is beneficial to your overall health.
Touch can improve our sense of proprioception, which is our awareness of where our body is in space. This can lead to feeling more grounded, aware, and “at home” in our bodies.
Touch can reduce stress. When done safely, touch can be extremely calming and help us get out of our heads for a minute.
Touch can help us connect with our body and be more aware of physical sensations. When we actively work on that mind-body connection, we tap into our intuition and can make more informed decisions about our health and wellbeing.
FAQs
Do I need a partner to sign up?
-Yes. This class is curated for pairs, but it doesn’t need to be a romantic partner. It can be a friend or family member.

Will I be working with just my partner, or everyone in the class?
-Each person will work with just their partner, and Kari.
What kind of sounds are in the sound bath?
-Jordin will be joining us to provide a sound bath while we work. Sound baths can help to calm the mind, further regulating our nervous systems - which makes it the perfect compliment to our class. The sounds can also help to create a deeper sense of focus and presence in the moment, allowing for a more meaningful and fulfilling experience.
What parts of the body will we be working on?
-During the class we will only be working on and touching the neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands, knees, lower leg and feet.

Trust in the Dark ~ Blindfolded Bhakti Flow with Peter Walters
In yoga, we have a term called Pratyahara, which means to withdraw the senses from their external objects. In this blindfolded practice, we turn inwards, turn off the lights, and blindfold ourselves to both chant and practice yoga asana. The invitation is to practice and awaken Trust.
This event will offer a safe and exploratory space where you can delve deep within yourself, awakening new levels of understanding and awareness so we can begin to *see* with our hands, feet, and heart, and listen more closely to what the body is saying when we remove sight.
We invite you to take off your visual perceptions and embark on a steady, inquisitive, and indeed playful journey of chanting and movement. By surrendering your sight, you will open the door to a rich realm of self-discovery and unlock the untapped potential of your yoga practice.
