Upcoming Retreats
Mini Retreat with DJ Taz
October 11 - 13, 2024
Bend, OR
Join us for an incredible weekend filled with movement and music with DJ Taz! Take a look at some of the offerings we have put together for our weekend together (Click on the title of each event for a video preview of the session):
Soul Groove - A Sound Journey For Inner Awakening
Experience how sound and healing music can be used to unlock many of our blocks and challenges we experience daily. DJ Taz Rashid shares his wisdom and path in sound healing as we meditate, tune inward, gain clarity and listen to the language of our spirit. We will open up the four directions and expect to hear healing deep relaxation sounds from all over the world such as singing bowls, didgeridoos, over-tone singing, percussion, Native American flutes, guitar and atmospheric soundscapes to guide the journey. This is the inner revolution your body has been looking for.
Rhythm of the Soul: An Celebratory Dance Journey
"Immerse yourself in a transformative evening with renowned musical artist DJ Taz Rashid as he guides you through a unique blend of dance, meditation, and heart-centered music. The experience begins with a grounding meditation, tuning into the rhythm of your breath, igniting your inner voice and setting a personal intention. As the atmosphere shifts, invigorating beats will lead you on a dance journey through the five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Ether. Each element connects with qualities we embody daily, fostering a sense of peace and unity through your own expressive movement. Embrace this deeply personal yet immersive musical journey enveloping you in the resonance of DJ Taz's original music, remixes , and mashups. This is an opportunity to spotlight the story of YOU, unearthing your dreams, desires, and personal truth. No dance experience necessary – all you need is an open heart and a willingness to explore.”
My Best Playlist- Yoga Music Workshop
Join DJ Taz Rashid for a workshop on how to build a yoga music playlist. Learn how to breakdown your classes in a simple way, and easily build your favorite music into any practice whether it’s a high intensity vinyasa, or a mellow yin, restorative class or to your personalized yoga style.
DJ Taz will show you how to hone your instinctive listening and intuitive teaching skills to "mix beats" and make smooth transitions throughout your classes. Taking the time to focus on developing the role of music in your yoga classes allows you to feel more confident about how music is enhancing your teaching, while you can expand and use your music library more efficiently. Any teacher can build her unique sound with compelling music that enhances the practice, inevitably attracting a larger student following. Highly recommended for teachers but anyone can attend.
As Seen in:Wanderlust Festivals, Yoga Journal Conferences, Yoga Alliance and more
Moving Meditation
Enjoy the tranquil beats of DJ Taz while Shannon Liebel guides you through a moving meditation. This practice will have elements of yin, mindfulness, and somatic therapy techniques to help you dive in to a deep sense of the awareness of the moment. Please bring a mat and any props you feel most supported by (the studio also has props available). We’re excited to bring you this memorable moving meditation practice!
Use this weekend to re-connect with yourself, connect with others, and find the joy in the music and movement!
