Are you experiencing high stress? Looking to improve your sleep quality to enhance your longevity and well-being? Are you a health coach, yoga teacher, clinician, or first responder doing shift work and seeking effective ways to recover—and to teach others to do the same?
Join the founders of the internationally recognized First Responder Sleep Recovery Program and learn the neuroscience behind conscious rest techniques that improve sleep, reduce stress, and harness the power of nervous system regulation for true well-being. This Yoga Nidra Teacher Training is a training for a thriving life! It is led by Jacqueline Toomey, a seasoned yoga teacher of 20 years, and Sean Toomey, her firefighter husband. Together, they offer a transformative educational experience that previous students have described as “life-changing,” “transformative,” and a “total game-changer!” Jacqueline Toomey has taught this transformational program in 18 states and 3 Canadian provinces to over 5,000 people. She has been featured in multiple Colorado news stories, multiple Las Vegas news stories, and featured in a national campaign, a minidocumentary by VOX Media in partnership with Fitbit.
The program dives deep into the science of sleep, neuroscience, and polyvagal theory, while also integrating ancient yoga philosophy. You’ll gain a profound understanding of the art and nuance of facilitating trauma-informed Yoga Nidra sessions. Since many people have experienced some form of trauma, this method is taught in a mindful, trauma-sensitive way, ensuring it is accessible and appropriate for everyone. This program is designed for those in high stress and sleep challenged environments, such as first responders, shift workers, nurses or anyone who’s sleep has been affected by the challenges of life. If you are a health coach, clinician, yoga teacher or first responder – this program is for you!
Before the retreat, you will receive 8 pre-recorded educational audio sessions designed to prepare you for the training. (While it’s recommended to complete these over 8 weeks, you can finish them in 4 weeks.) During the retreat you’ll experience daily yoga, educational talks, partnerwork to learn how to facilitate with coaching feedback and daily yoga nidra and guided relaxation practices included sound healing. There will be special musical guest contributors and wonderful surprise experiences. Upon completion, you will earn a 40-hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Nidra L1 Facilitator Certification, accredited by Yoga Alliance International.

Grief’s Song: Cycles of the Heart, A Summer Retreat
Please Join Kate Mulheron, Founder of Earth Ways Yoga and special guest, Jay Kraemer, LAC and intuitive musician for a 4-day guided Retreat Journey at our retreat home for over 14 years at Joyful Journey Hot Springs, for a very special retreat time July 24th-27th to honor your heart’s path, your heart’s calling, your heart’s healing: Grief’s Song: Healing Your Wounded Heart!!
Come explore the energy of SUMMER in the desert at Joyful Journey Hot Springs and the Element of Fire. Follow the rhythms of your heart and how to find balance and harmony in the summers journey of your heart’s calling. There are four officials of the FIRE MERIDIAN CHANNELS : Heart, Small Intestine, Heart Protector, and Triple Heater, the emotion is joy and the color is red , through the movement of Earth Ways Yoga, meditation and self study of the acupuncture and spirit of the points to help you deepen into these channels!! The only element that needs 4 meridians to guide the complexity of ones heart, the great mystery of this life is to understand the meaning of ones heart, as every time you think you do, another lesson, another teaching , wowza, it may feel like its back to the beginning! of your healing! But it is truly never back to the beginning its just a deeper understanding of ones self to rebuild once again, a little stronger and with more resolve . This season can be about staying on track with your mission in life and finding space to balance your well being in the heat of the summers light!!
This is a retreat to acknowledge your walk with grief, As a human no one gets out of this life without a wounded heart. It is apart of the path of being human, but how we work with grief, through our whole beingness can be an art form, it takes great patience and perseverance to walk truly in the fire of ones own awakening to hopefully find more harmony and acceptance , which takes TIME. Grief and her song has wailed through your very beating heart which has defined the creation of how you walk in this world, your relationship with grief, what body language patterns you have accumulated in this life as you explore your relationship with grief and the tools it takes to move grief though ones being!!
LOVE and JOY is the beingness of the heart but when our human complexity of healing the experiences you have had in this life becomes shut down or too raw to hold we create boundaries and shields for protection, and when you feel you are ready to be with your particular stage of grief you have been holding there are tools to support you.. What works for one person for sure is not going to work for another, we are unique individuals that it takes great grace , walking carefully through the mind field of ones emotions to get to resolve., hopefully. We are complex beings, us humans, but we do the best we can as walking a path of the wounded hearted!
As those of you that have come to expect at retreat, yes we will Honor Dialy Directions, Learn Circle, practice Earth Ways Yoga , live music, ear acupuncture hot springs, and study the 5 Element Meridian System, (Fire Element, which is all about the HEART) What do we know about the Fire Element, it takes 4 MERIDIANS to hold the space of our complex heart and the seeking of heart is JOY, but to get to joy means we must clear what is in the way or the heaviness of heart ( no matter hold OLD your grief is).
*Please note that this is a sober and technology free event. To honor the space, community and ceremonies we are asking that attendees abstain from alcohol and drugs two days prior to retreat and throughout the duration of the retreat.
Thank you and we look forward to sharing this time with you!
Kate and Jay
