Salutations Studio

Salutations Studio Salutations Studio offers high quality, affordable dance and yoga for the community and visitors. Cl Class location and times vary.

My approach to yoga asana classes weaves together a love of movement, a trust in the body's innate ability to heal, a curiosity of how the self is expressed through embodiment, an energetic playfulness, and a desire to integrate the whole person through time spent both on and off the mat. I find great joy in attending to the abundance of life, allowing the movement practice to help unveil each individual's process and aliveness. My hope is to facilitate dedicated time in the practice to build skills in self knowing. Check www.salutationsstudio.com for the latest updates

Last workshop offering for some time to come!

I know how difficult it can be to choose indoor activities during our brief and unpredictable Wallowa County spring! I too feel the pull to be working the soil and taking in fresh air and sunshine.

And...

Creating an intention to care for your hips and low back can provide a great base for strength and mobility that will support your body through the physical demands of the season.

Not only that, but the practice of yoga is always a chance to develop greater sensitivity toward yourself. If you are anything like me, the call to keep working on a project can override the need for rest. But, I always pay for it with inflammation and pain. Caring for my body on a regular basis AND listening to the signals from my body that tell me when to be done has been so important in preventing injury and holding space for the places that have already been on a healing journey.

The amazing weekend of Chakra yoga set my energy up perfectly for the next colorful experience
Puke

Thank goodness for my practice, reminding me that yoga is not just the presence we practice on the mat, but also the presence we practice when a child is sick and needs a parent to be with them
Thankful for my practice as a yogi and the way it supports my role as a mom. They really do go hand in hand

It's not too late to register for the Sat. April 22nd 3-5pm chakra yoga practice
This practice is incredibly powerful and potent!
By directing the breath, we can harness the Prana, or life-force that enlivens you. We can wake up areas of the body-mind interface that have remained dormant
The practice of yoga Nidra is a passive, guided body scan, where you as the practitioner lie down in a supported savasana and allow your body to rest while you tap into subconscious spaces
This is like a deep and powerful energy reset that has potential for lasting change
Let's explore how the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, sound, light, and ether live in our bodies

"Mindfulness is a state of observation. It does not judge, value, negate, or applaud. It simply witnesses"
-Anodea Judith ~ Eastern Body, Western Mind ~

The 7th chakra, the thousand fold lotus, located at the crown, helps us remember who we truly are beyond the identities we have created
It is our ability to analyze and assimilate information. It is the place where we seek knowledge and simultaneously stay open-minded
The 7th chakra helps us connect ground to sky, and to realize that the world is our teacher
This chakra helps us to find our spiritual wealth and to feel our own Divinity
We see ourselves and world around us as ever unfolding, full of beauty on a moment to moment basis

When a person is told that what they observe is not true, or that the intuitive sense they have about a situation is wrong, they may begin to shut down the 6th chakra, or the 3rd eye
This center is the place from which we perceive the world and ourselves
It is the place of imagination, dreams, visions, insights, symbolism, and memory, oh and of course...intuition
It's a place through which we can connect with Universal wisdom and the higher vibrations of ether
Visual art, visualization of healing, and meditation can all help affirm this center and expand the capacity to manifest our dreams
I invite you to join me Saturday, April 22nd at 9am @ the place in Joseph for a meditation on each of the 7 chakras. A dedicated hour to be quiet, create presence, and connect to the magic within

Saturday is Earth Day! 🌎✨
At the root of healthy energy flow is a connection to the ground
A feeling of bodily comfort, an affirmed right to be here, good self-care, a strong sense of presence and a feeling of being solidly here and dynamically alive can all emerge from a balanced earth element
Addressing the 1st chakra impacts all of the chakras
Each practice will begin with grounding exercises as a foundation for personal growth
How lucky are we to be able to celebrate the Earth and our earthly bodies at the same time?

Our Story

My name is Esther Petrocine. I am a movement educator and creative instructor. I began my movement studies as a child, growing up as a dancer and an athlete in Laramie, Wyoming. I went on to earn a BS in Human Physiology and a minor in Dance from the University of Oregon. Sharing my love for movement, I worked as a personal trainer and pursued modern dance performance opportunities in Portland. Due to chronic, debilitating pain as a result of car and bicycle accidents, I devoted much of my time to my yoga practice. Upon tapping into the healing qualities of yoga, both physically and spiritually, it felt important to me to deepen my practice and find ways to offer this ancient art to others. I pursued the yogafit teacher training as well as a STOTT Pilates instructor training and began offering these mind body classes to my gym community. In 2008 I changed career paths, but continued my life as a student of yoga and dance. My work as a dancer evolved into teaching, choreographing, and putting on productions. In the midst of it all, I found my way back to teaching yoga when I met Alison Alstrom, a certified Anusara Yoga instructor. I completed a 200 hour teacher training program with her, learned the Universal Principles of Alignment, and taught in Portland before starting a family. I aim to empower each individual through movement to find their own inner wisdom and to deepen their relationship with Self so that they can bring the fullness of their being to their community. Namaste!
