Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.
We explore the powerful connection between meditation, pranayama, and upper chakra work as tools for discovering your unique creative purpose in the world.
• Meditation as the most effective practice for stimulating the upper chakras, especially the crown chakra
• Introduction to Nadi Shodhanam (alternating nostril breathing) as a balancing practice between left and right hemispheres
• How the right side represents masculine/solar energy (activating) while the left represents feminine/lunar energy (calming)
• Pranayama as the bridge between physical asana practice and meditation for the upper chakras
• Step-by-step guidance through a powerful meditation to connect with your higher self
• Creating energetic protection through visualization of white and gold light
• Opening a channel to receive divine guidance about your creative purpose
• The importance of surrender, trust, and receptivity when connecting to higher wisdom
