Cacao, Song & Sound
–
at Nobo Healing Arts Studio (4593 Broadway, C-119 Boulder, CO 80304)
An Evening of Heart-Opening Connection, Music & Deep Rest
Join long-time friends and yoginis Alison Litchfield and Kari Schein for a nourishing evening of cacao, song, and sound as we come together to slow down, open our hearts, and reconnect with ourselves and one another.
We’ll begin by sharing ceremonial cacao, inviting warmth, presence, and an openness of the heart. From there, we’ll explore the healing power of our own voices through simple, accessible singing and chanting—no singing experience necessary.
We’ll then settle into a deeply restorative sound journey, allowing the rich vibrations of the harmonium, didgeridoo, and singing bowls to wash over us, inviting relaxation, spaciousness, and inner stillness.
This is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of life, soften into the present moment, and experience the beauty of gathering in community.

Embodying Yoga
A Seasonal Embodiment Training for Women in Midlife~ Module 1 of YTT
Continuing Education Credits
- 24 Contact Hours
- 6 Non-Contact Hours
Tuition
- $850
Living Your Yoga is a 25-hour immersion rooted in nervous system regulation, seasonally informed practice, and Rolfing® principles of fascia, structure, gravity, and relationship.
This training explores yoga as a lived, embodied practice that supports how we move through daily life, not only what we do on the mat. The curriculum draws from time-tested wisdom traditions that observe how the body responds to rhythm, change, and stress, without adhering to a single system or diagnosis.
Practices are guided by nervous system awareness, natural cycles of rest and activity, and the qualities that cultivate balance, resilience, and vitality over time.
Living Your Yoga is designed for practitioners seeking to deepen their relationship with yoga, aspiring teachers, and current teachers who want to ground their teaching in embodied understanding rather than technique alone.
These training hours may be added toward a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Boulder Yoga Studio or logged as continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance for Registered Yoga Teachers.
Fall Program |ROOTED Nervous System Reset
ROOTED is a five-week journey designed to help you better understand your nervous system, release accumulated tension, and cultivate greater resilience and ease in everyday life.
Blending therapeutic yoga, breathwork, somatic movement, and nervous system education with the timeless wisdom of yoga philosophy, this experiential series offers practical tools to help you move out of habitual patterns of stress, overactivity, or shutdown and toward greater balance.
Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, the Eight Limbs of Yoga, and seasonal wisdom, we’ll explore how to recognize your body’s signals, respond with greater awareness, and develop practices that support your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
