Description
In this session, we facilitate deeply transformational experiences to take place within individuals and collectives.
You and your team or group will be invited to join a ceremonial space where tools such as yoga, breathwork, and meditation will be used to help the group to experience a shift in physical, emotional, and spiritual awareness, both individually and collectively.
Mind, body, and soul practices are the keys many of us are hoping to find. At Upaiya, our experience has revealed that these keys hold the power to unlock the doors of our lives that appear to be permanently shut.
Benefits
In whichever pillar of their lives those in your group are facing obstacles — whether in work, family, relationships, health, or fulfillment — these practices offer the insight they need to approach challenges with more clarity, peace, and awareness.
Participants can expect to leave the ceremony:
- Feeling more connected to themselves and others in the group
- With an ability to approach challenging relationship dynamics within the group form a more grounded and understanding space
- Having experienced a shift in physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual awareness
This session is ideal for individuals or teams who:
- Are looking for unique and deeply beneficial experiences to promote wellbeing for themselves and their group or team
- Are struggling to find solutions to individual or collective challenges through traditional and conventional workshops
- Are looking for experiences and techniques that will create long-term transformation for themselves and their group or team

About the Host
Hi, I am Tom, the founder of Upaiya! I am a yoga teacher, breathwork coach, and facilitator of ceremonial spaces.
I am also a permanent student, a believer that transformation is easier, deeper and more fun as a collective, and on a mission to make mind, body, and soul practices as accepted and accessible among the general population as tap water and free wi-fi.
I started Upaiya to demand more from yoga classes than downward dog, to show that breathwork is in fact work, and reveal that meditation might be the hardest thing you've ever done. I believe we have barely began to discover the true power of these practices and their ability to create meaningful change in our lives. I also believe that we have never needed them as individuals and as collectives more than we do today.
