About Milena Pastore, Founder & Owner Soul Tribe Yoga Collective:
Milena contracted Lyme as a young child from a tick bite while playing in her grandmother’s yard in Boulder, Colorado. She has endured her own debilitating, life-altering experience with tick-borne disease, and understands how devastating its impacts can be. Through the depths of her illness, her study and practice of various yogic concepts and techniques helped her to soothe her body, quiet her mind, and gently maintain strength and flexibility.
Her passion for healing through traditional and modified yogic techniques led and inspired Milena to create Soul Tribe Yoga Collective, an online yoga studio designed for others whose lives have been impacted by various chronic health conditions. The majority of her students have Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.
Soul Tribe Yoga Collective is a culmination of specialized and accessible offerings Milena has designed to help others access healing and community during times of illness, grief and isolation. Her programs are centered on mindfulness, nervous system regulation, vagal toning, lymph drainage, fascial fluidity and energy healing. Milena’s carefully curated flows guide students in experiencing stress relief, rest, and relaxation.
Milena has compiled elements from her study and practice of various asana traditions, including Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Gentle, Kundalini, and Kaiut to create a format that is safe, healing and accessible for those with highly sensitive bodies. Her inclusive programs are offered online as well as in person.
Serving the Lyme and chronic illness communities is a passion and priority for Milena. She has supported the Colorado Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Association, Colorado Lyme & TBD Support Group, Lyme Disease Awareness Month, Health and Human Services (HHS) Tick-Borne Disease Working Group, Lyme Disease Association, Global Lyme Alliance, and the Center for Lyme Action. Her writing has been featured on Lymedisease.org and she has been a guest on the Tick Boot Camp podcast. Learn more about Milena and Soul Tribe Yoga Collective at https://www.soultribeyc.com/.

Learn about the biomagnetism technique that’s specifically designed to address the micro-organisms commonly associated with Lyme disease. Christina Sheppard, a Lyme Magnetic Protocol practitioner based in Turners Falls, MA, will explain this unique modality and answer any questions you may have about the technique and her practice.  

 About Christina:

Christina Sheppard stumbled upon the Lyme Magnetic Protocol (LMP) while seeking help for her teenage daughter, who was suffering from Lyme disease.  Seeing how well the protocol brought her symptoms under control, Christina began treatment for herself as she was struggling with host of health issues. After many months of treatment and tremendous improvement, Christina felt compelled to learn the modality and open a practice in the Pioneer Valley.

Introduction to Meridian Tapping with Marianne Reiff

June 15, 2023

Tapping is a simple technique that creates a link between your physical and emotional experience. This powerful technique has a wide use spectrum.  As a self-help tool, EFT is easy to learn and flexible enough to be used by anyone. 

Meridian Tapping uses the same meridians used in traditional acupressure. The combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmation works to reduce the emotional or physical blocks that are getting in your way, thus restoring your mind and body’s balance. It’s like a reboot for your system.

About Marianne Reiff: 

Marianne has been introducing people to Tapping for over seven years and feels that anyone can benefit from learning this simple yet powerful technique.  If you, or someone you know is struggling with physical or emotional stress, or you just feel sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, this tool is worth considering. Tapping can help with both emotional and physical issues.  

Marianne is a Level 3 Accredited Certified Practitioner with EFT International. For more information check out her website: https://mariannereiff.com.
