Healthcare practitioners face a unique stress not often understood by those who haven’t experienced it. There are few places for Nurses, Tech’s, Rt’s, etc. to truly be seen and understood by the community. That’s why we created a Mini Retreat for Nurses! 

No yoga, meditation or conscious breathing experience is necessary. This Mini-Retreat is carefully curated with healthcare professionals in mind! Dress comfortable and bring a yoga mat (if you have one).

Schedule:

Opening Circe

Restorative + Yin Yoga
Therapeutic Breathing Techniques 

Community Tea 
Wellness Resources + Local Pop-up Shop

Break

Mindful Movement

Yoga Nidra aka “yoga of sleep”

Closing Circle

Restorative + Yin Yoga are floor-based practices aimed at relaxation and passive stretching.  Expect to be held in place with props like bolsters, blocks and blankets while settling into a state of inner and outer peace.

Therapeutic Breathing Techniques allow you to bring your nervous system into conscious control.  Expect to use your breath for greater self-awareness, self-regulation and self-control.

Community Tea is a relaxed space for introductions and discussions. There will be a special tea blend for the Mini-Retreat as well as some classics. Light snacks will be provided.     

Wellness Resources + Local Pop-up Shop because who doesn’t love a little retail therapy?  

Mindful Movement will unfold naturally depending on the group present for the Mini-Retreat. Amy dedicated the last 6 years learning and practicing tools to manage, heal from, and prevent nurse burnout. Everyone brings their own unique perspective and experiences and no one technique will work for everyone. As the group discusses during Community Tea, Amy will sort through her bag of tricks to pick the best tools for the individuals present. 

Yoga Nidra, otherwise known as yogic sleep, allows your body to enter a deeply relaxed state with ease. The body sleeps while the mind stays lucid. The listener simply lies down in a quiet and comfortable environment to enjoy a serene moment for themselves. During the Nidra, if the body and mind need additional rest, one may fall asleep; the benefits of the Nidra will still occur. Within Yoga Nidra, there is space to insert a sankalpa or souls resolve. The sankalpa is a message to your subconscious. It may be a simple statement or a profound idea. There are many ways to create your own personal sankalpa. Amy wrote the Nidra for this Mini-Retreat specifically for healthcare providers.       

Amy Matson, RN, is a certified trauma informed yoga instructor, breath facilitator and graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. She is passionate about helping healthcare professionals’ access parasympathetic resilience and process the challenges that are so often a part of this profession.
