Koreen Valdovinos, Earth G Yoga creator
Frank DiChristina & Nathanial Tuna Quenzer, on the giant gongs and live instruments.

Thematic DARK Yoga and breathwork concert with giant gongs, live instruments & dark drone. A guided journey deep into the womb of creation and back into your skin in the here and now.

As we embark on this vibrational healing journey, with many giant gongs, and a long deep sound bath, we will feel into our shadows and embrace the darkness and the balance of nature. Nature is within.

-Slow yoga and yin.
-Release techniques. Moments of higher energy, before we settle in to slow, dark movement
-Guided transcendental breath work.
-Moon salutations and somatic flow.
-a soundscape that will bring you deeper.

Our practice will be about progressive darkness in balance with the light in our hearts.

This will be literal, as the room will become darker and darker and we will be using blindfolds to go even deeper into sensory deprivation, to heighten our other senses to feel into light, vibration, healing. And it will be figurative, as you are guided on your own creative journey aided by the soundscape and the use of an optional blindfold to go deeper.

Expect a giant long yummy gong bath. Many giant gongs and multiple sound healers with various instruments to 5D landscape sensation.

When you leave this experience, the sun will be setting behind the city. Always a beautiful exit to to the edge of the Mississippi River, where our event takes place.

Rhythm & Roots

Begin in relaxation, move through heart opening yoga flow, work up to dance & and back down into meditation. Integrated into this practice is ancient ritual honoring the 4 elements, the 4 directions 🧭, our ancestors & reviving the ancient spirit within us ALL.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

This practice is great for connection, commUnity building, manifesting, releasing & reflection. Dance is a bridge with the ability to build connections, not only with one another but with the deep wisdom 🔐 locked within YOUR DNA 🧬. Dance has the ability to transform the way we feel in an instant. Dance can transform pain to power, power to purpose & and purpose into fulfillment.

An ancient tool we ALL have access to… dance!

“Jenna and I first met at Buti Yoga teacher training about a decade ago. She has since expanded her practice as an indigenous ceremony and ritual guide, and conscious dance/yoga guide. She is in Minneapolis THIS weekend only. Don’t miss this. “ -Teacher Koreen

More from Jenna:

“Rhythm and roots is the physical manifestation of the evolution of my relationship to dance, music, culture and Earth. As an indigenous Colombian woman who was adopted as an infant and raised in white western culture, I felt an undeniable connection to my indigenous identity. As a child I could never articulate or identify what this feeling actually was. I was sure, I was quiet, I was observant. It was a subconscious knowing. A grounding or feeling of reassurance and safety I found from within. Music was my spirit’s first prompt to return. Once I connected to original sound, (the music of indigenous cultures worldwide), it lit a spark that has now turned into a full on flame. I am guided by my ancestors to remind people of all origins of who they are and to remind our DNA of the thousands of years of wisdom held inside our bones. I want to bring ceremonial dance back to every community and refine the way we treat ourselves, our neighbors and our Earth. It is all connected, armonía.”

Soften in your body, build heat with spirals and the rhythms that call to you.

See You next week!!! Saturday at ten am!

The Primal Voice: Soul, lineage, and land. A workshop to connect to your voice, your rage, your erotic expression and song.

Before humans spoke, we sang. This powerful, primal connection to our soul, our lineages and lands has been muted by modern culture, but not erased. Come remember your wildness and power through one of the most ancient of human technologies: your voice.

You will discover just how versatile an instrument you have as you learn techniques and practices to express what is often deeper than words. We will move, sing, grieve, rage, play, and connect through our voices.

The workshop will start with a short embodiment session by Earth Goddess Yoga creator, Koreen V. Incorporating flow into rhythmic intuitive Movment & vocal yoga ("Aum")

We’ll then tune into our voices and breath, connecting to the pleasure of making sound, and practice some simple vocal techniques. Natalie Nowitsky, an expert on dozens of musical folk traditions from around the world, will teach us how to use our voice to connect with our environment and ancestral traditions, and how to vocally release grief. Laurel Armstrong will complete the workshop with group practices in Primal Singing where we will use our voice to support and be supported by the larger community. Topics covered includes Primal Erotic Expression as well as uncovering how the voice is stifled and throat chakra can be blocked. Know the power of release through voice.

What to expect: circle of voices, no need to know how to sing, just a desire to express, process emotion with voice, and enjoy the power and beauty of a chorus of voices, in all their unique glory. Feel your powerful primal self, throat chakra unlocked, rediscover or ease into feeling confident in your voice. .

There will be a break with provided tea, snacks, and discussion. Feel free to bring your own lunch or snacks to share. Join us and discover the power of your voice, re-wild its expression, and experience your primal and communal belonging.

Yoni Portal Magic

An Honoring of Feminine Power

Yoni = sacred altar. This gathering seeks to invite in the remembering of this sacred altar in your own body.

Together we will worship and reclaim the magic of your feminine waters. Our experience will open with some grounding breathwork and meditation, followed by a discussion on the 64 Yoginis and Siddhi power of mensuration. We will then move into an embodied co-guided moving meditation and yoga practice with Yoni egg ceremony, and sound bath.

Join guides Justyn and Koreen on an exploration of the power of your yoni: 

From the ancient knowledge of mystical traditions & blood magic;

to modern science (that FINALLY has mapped the anatomy of the clitorus) and offers us clues to healing our bodies and hearts, physically and emotionally. 

Exploring the yoni egg practice through the lense of embodiment, physiology, chemistry & psychology of the expansive female orgasm and moon cycle.

Soften in your body, build heat with spirals and the rhythms that call to you.

A vinyasa like flow & practice …based in the yogini practices of circles and sharing. Where you can be free to be you in your highest form and without trying to fit your body into boxes and shapes that were never meant for you to be stuffed into.

This is the philosophy behind Earth Goddess Yoga. with Yogini Guide, Koreen V.
