Wellness Through Food:

Eat to Heal

Food is more than fuel—it’s medicine and connection. Our Wellness Through Food program invites you to rediscover the art of eating as a daily act of self-care. Through mindful eating practices, seasonal nourishment, and the therapeutic use of herbs and spices, you’ll learn how to use food not just to fill your plate, but to support energy, digestion, mood, and immunity. This isn’t about restriction or perfection. It’s about building a joyful, informed relationship with what you eat—one that supports your body’s natural rhythms and your emotional well-being.

Breathing Education:

Reconnect with Your Breath

Your breath is more than just a function—it’s your built-in tool for healing, clarity, and calm.

In our fast-paced world, many of us have forgotten how to breathe fully and deeply. Shallow, rapid breaths have become the norm, keeping our bodies in a low-level stress response. But the simple act of mindful breathing can reset the nervous system, enhance focus, and support emotional balance.​

Espavo Living Yoga

Therapeutic Yoga: Healing Through Movement and Stillness 

 

Therapeutic yoga is a gentle, intentional practice that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. Unlike fast-paced yoga styles, this approach focuses on slowing down, tuning in, and addressing specific physical or emotional needs through breath, movement, and mindfulness. Rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science, therapeutic yoga is not about achieving the perfect pose—it’s about restoring balance, reducing pain, and creating space for healing from the inside out.​

Sound Healing: Restore Harmony Through Vibration

 

Sound has the power to shift our state of being. Sound healing is a meditative and therapeutic practice that uses frequency, rhythm, and vibration to restore harmony in the body and mind. Through instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Handpans, gongs, tuning forks, and voice, the body is bathed in sound waves that gently guide the nervous system into a state of deep relaxation and repair.​
