Designed to combat the mental and physical repercussions of everyday stress. Still the mind, increase balance and capacity for healing, boosts immune system functions, and deeply relaxes the body to alleviate built up stress.
A meditative form of yoga with a focus on breathwork and longer-held poses. More relaxed, passive, and slow-paced, allowing the body tissue to rest and recover. Restorative yoga releases mind-body tension by moving at a slower, more-relaxed pace that allows the body tissues to rest and recover. Props, such as blocks, straps, and bolsters, may be used to support your pose with ease to achieve relaxed comfort.
Restorative yoga works with the parasympathetic nervous system, which targets our response to stress in the body. Slow poses paired with breathwork can slow down the heart rate while increasing blood flow to your vital organs.
CLASS LENGTH: 60 minutes

Electrons Plus is a guided PEMF Therapy that effectively eliminates pain. Like a battery, the human body is electric and is made up of cells that carry voltage. Electrons Plus will allow me to stimulate the body by running an electromagnetic field through my hands to your body, creating a healing process at a cellular level.
Electrons Plus requires skin-to-skin contact in order to enact the healing process. Exposure will be necessary in order to target areas of discomfort. Your body will never be fully exposed, however, athletic clothing or easily accessible clothing is encouraged for easy treatment. Electrons Plus works and feels like a deep tissue massage. Participants are suggested to be hydrated before and after sessions.
Bio: Michael De Hoff is a Human Movement Specialist, Electrons Plus Practitioner, and the owner of Free Flow Training, LLC. Michael has a Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology from Penn State University and is certified in The GOATA Movement System.

About the movie: Awakening is the next stage in human evolution. The Awakening Mind Film Series travels the globe speaking to wisdom teachers, visionaries, and scientists from broad and diverse disciplines, philosophies, and traditions who are pointing with uncanny similarity and intelligence to this time as an epic juncture and an invitation to a higher evolution for humanity.
Awakening Mind explores the questions “who am I?”, “what is awakening?”, “why awaken?”, “what is consciousness?”, “how do I awaken?”, “what is the purpose and meaning of life?”, and “how am I to navigate this world experience to the best of my ability for the benefit of all?” In this time where the world feels out of control and filled with so much suffering and sadness, these questions are particularly relevant, and the answers are a lot simpler than one might imagine.
Our visionaries will help our audience see that life is not as complicated as they may believe, and it is possible to awaken to the understanding that peace and happiness is available to anyone anywhere in the world right now.
