Wednesday evening Drum Circle with Perry Smith
Find out why people from all walks of life are jumping on the hand drumming band wagon. Entire cultures from West Africa and the Middle East view hand drumming as their classical music, and you can find out why in this easy to access, all levels open drum circle.
Rhythms are patterns that repeat just as our heart beats. Hand drumming provides an opportunity to regain our symmetry connecting our left and right brains in an active and sometimes highly energetic way. While drumming, you are also activating the language learning parts of the brain while you are ‘communicating’ with the other drummers.
Perry Smith is a musician living and playing in Wilmington, and has been leading drum circles since 2000. Having worked with Chuck Davis and the African American Dance Ensemble the authenticity of his teachings are as true as can be. Perry received his BA in Music/Classical Guitar at UNCW. For more information go to www.perrysguitar.com. Bring your drum and a love offering for your facilitator. Our address is

Thursday 5:15 PM & Saturday 2:00 PM
I am excited to be a part of this Wilmington community after returning to the East Coast from the beautiful landscapes of Montana and Colorado. I received my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification from Sistermoon Wellness under the guidance of Kendra Potter, with an emphasis on the eight limbs of yoga. I am happy to offer a Yin Yoga class on Thursday evenings which emphasizes deep stretches, intentional poses, and the integration of pranayama and meditation into class. My goal is to create a calming space for you to explore mindfulness and self-discovery. Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, I would love to help guide you on your journey toward balance and serenity using the ancient and sacred practices of Yoga.

My name is Estabraq. People call me Esta! (Estabrag means silk with an unbreakable golden thread). Yoga helps me be an unbreakable person. I attended my 200 hr yoga teacher training in Bali (the island of offering). I received my 100 YRT at the end of the training. I am a certified Hatha yoga (power vinyasa and ashtanga yoga), meditation and pranayama (breathwork) instructor.

Classical yoga asana (postures), breath work, and gentle warming movements to build strength, flexibility and relaxation. Focus on standing poses and basic seated work that is suitable for all levels. Generally a slower pace than Vinyasa yoga. Every pose can be adjusted to suit your personal strengths and abilities.

This hour class includes a balance of movement and rest, and is the perfect way to end the week!

Through a meditative sequence, students are invited to journey inward to increase body awareness and release stored tension. The second half of the class will have emphasis on stress reduction, centering the nervous system and helping the body come to a peaceful and restful state. Classes include guided meditation, breath work, yoga philosophy, and assistance with alignment.

Private One on One Reiki
Reiki is an ancient form of Japanese medicine that treats the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Reiki helps to activate, cleanse, restore and balance the body’s natural energy system to support healing. Energy, whether from physical injury or emotional pain, can become stored and stagnant within the body. In time, these energy blocks can lead to dis-ease of the body. By improving the natural flow of Ki (life force energy), this practice aids in unblocking stagnant energy, promotes relaxation, fosters emotional balance, relieves physical pain, and reduces other symptoms of illness within the body. In a Reiki session, Reiki is offered through gentle non-invasive touch, with the practitioner’s hands placed on or above various areas of the body to promote the flow of energy and healing. All sessions are intuitively guided and may differ based on each individual’s healing needs. Reiki sessions may include sound vibrational healing, aromatherapy, and the use of attuned crystals. Potential Health Benefits of Reiki: - Strengthens the immune system - Improves sleep - Clears blockages resulting from physical, spiritual, and emotional traumas - Decreased anxiety and depression - Eases pain and discomfort - Stimulates faster recovery from illness - Increased circulation and stimulates lymphatic flow - Improves mental clarity and intuition - Eases muscle tension - Increase energy levels - Release emotions
