I'm Henry Winslow, Founder of Tricycle Day, President of Althea, and a licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in Colorado. My path to this work runs through nearly two decades of yoga and meditation practice, so that foundation naturally shapes how I facilitate. I draw heavily on breath-and-movement-based practices to help clients connect with the flow of subtle energy (prana) and stored emotion held in the body. At the onset of a psilocybin experience, I like to guide clients through light breathwork (pranayama), accessible postures (asana), and cleansing movement patterns (kriya). I've found that these practices create a smooth on-ramp into the medicine. With yoga, you can go extremely deep without feeling overwhelmed. Toward the end of a session, I typically invite clients to return to their practice, this time for a different purpose. Stretching and contracting your muscles helps you settle back into your physical body, as the experience begins to integrate. And it feels great! I bring similar practices into preparation sessions beforehand and integration work afterward, because I consider yoga to be an almost perfect complement to the psychedelic experience. Yoga is a system that can serve you for a lifetime if you practice consistently. (Before I ever facilitated a psilocybin session, I was a full-time, international yoga teacher, who led workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats abroad. I also competed in yoga asana for years and eventually won the International Yoga Sport Federation's world championship in Beijing in 2018.) If you're curious whether a yoga-inspired approach might deepen your own work with psilocybin, I'd love to connect.
