Why does a sense of unity, belonging and understanding seem to bring about healing, or, at least offer the avenue through which this can take place? Oh, sorry, were you looking for an answer? I don't have one. I just know that being with people who are compassionate, understanding and willing to walk through difficult situations, shoulder to shoulder, has been transformative in my life and I have watched it produce untold changes in theirs as well. I am happy to open up a space for us to stand together, bring what we have to the circle and hear one another. Our time will include physical activity, honest sharing, breathwork and meditation, somatic release and mindful techniques that will help us look directly at things we have been carrying around and let them go. This gathering is about support, acceptance and accountability.

Join ken Feakins on a monthly basis at Yoga in Fergus for an opportunity to experience connection and solidarity amongst a group of supportive men. This a by-donation event. Cash contributions accepted.

Himalayan Bowls, sometimes referred to as Tibetan Singing Bowls, will be the primary instruments used to provide a gentle, non-intrusive sound and vibrational experience that supports a deep state of relaxation. Guests may experience personal insights, improved awareness of/access to their body’s energy centres (Chakras), the dissipation of negative energy and improvements to overall personal energy flow. This supports guests’ efforts to gain, re-establish and maintain a sense of calm and inner balance.

Guests will be provided with a brief introduction to Himalayan Bowls, the body’s energy/Chakra system, mindful breathing and setting an intention. The bowls will be sounded for approximately 45-60 minutes and there will be time for participants to relax, integrate their experience and/or ask questions following the sound portion of the evening.

During this session, Stephen will utilize non-traditional sound instruments to augment the Himalayan Bowls.

Practitioner - Stephen Reynolds

Stephen received his certificate of completion of training from the Kathmandu Centre of Healing in Nepal in 2017 and is a Sound Healing Practitioner in Training, having completed Levels 1, 2 and 3 at the Atma Buti® Sound and Vibrational School in Boulder, Colorado.

Stephen’s philosophy is that everyone is born with a soul ‘song’ that typically becomes diminished/distorted by external stress, trauma, and everyday life. Himalayan Bowls support (re)discovering our unique soul sound, which enhances personal compassion, insight and improved stress response benefiting overall health.

As nature shifts from the grounded stillness of earth and water into the rising warmth and energy of fire, our bodies and minds begin their own seasonal transformation. This special Ayurvedic yoga class is designed to support you through this natural transition—helping you release what’s heavy and stagnant while gently awakening your inner vitality.

Join us for a nurturing journey through:

-Twisting Asana – Support digestion and detoxification with gentle abdominal massage through movement
- Calming Breathwork – Soothe the nervous system and lighten Kapha heaviness
- Marma Point Therapy – Activate subtle energy points to support release, renewal, and deep rejuvenation
- Yoga Nidra – Close with deeply restful guided meditation to restore balance between Kapha and Pitta energies

This class offers a space to clear out the old, awaken your inner fire, and step into the new season with grounded energy and clarity.

Open to all levels – no previous Ayurvedic knowledge required. Just bring yourself, your breath, and a willingness to soften.

This class will be guided by Chloe Chaput, Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Yoga Teacher.

The breath is a gateway to freedom and autonomy. It is a reminder of the unity that is our body, mind and spirit and is a way to reclaim control of our wellbeing. This type of breathwork is carefully designed to increase a sense of internal clarity and release tension, anxiety, and emotional blockages. The entire experience is carefully guided through precise and supportive instruction. We will begin with some gentle movement to help establish a centered awareness. Then the instructor will accompany you along a breath journey, that begins with a calm and relaxed breath, and gradually builds the breathing practice to cultivate an intense and elevated state. Somatic and emotional release are a common result of the practice. We complete the practice with a settling and calming breath to leave you feeling clear and calm.

Breathwork can:

-empower, heal, strengthen, and optimize our wellbeing.

-Improve physical health

-Strengthen our immune system

-Control stress

-Ensure calm

-Release tension and stuck emotions

-Reduce pain

-Increase clarity

-Raise vibration

-Ensure confidence

-Improve sleep
