EMBODIMENT PRACTICES for YOGA
Sunday, October 14 6 - 7:30pm $35
Each of our bodies is one of a kind with the potential for infinite expression in any yoga asana. This workshop is to explore what that expression looks and feels like in YOUR body.
The intention is to discover the clear paths of movement that allow you to most effectively embody yoga asanas with your unique body proportions, strength, flexibility, and circumstances on any given day.
Using breath and movement based embodiment practices to cultivate awareness, we’ll explore the subtle cues that let us know we are engaging with strength and ease, stability and flexibility in a way that honors where our body is in the moment and where we would like it to be in the asana.
Whether this is your first yoga practice or you have been practicing a lifetime, bring your beginner’s mind to discover the potential new pathways of strength and ease, stability and flexibility in YOUR body.

LisYin Yoga & Gratitude Practice
w. Lisa Marie, RYT
November 10 6-7:30pm $35
During this November workshop we will use embodied awareness, Yoga breathwork, and the buddhist practice of tonglen to cultivate gratitude in the body, mind, and heart. (Tonglen is the buddhist practice of giving and receiving)
A grateful body is one that is soft, open, and receptive, especially around the heart. Cultivating an open heart and intentionally focusing on gratitude has been proven to produce the feel good hormones. This practice brings you more happiness, less stress, balanced energy, better sleep, AKA as dopamine to release pain.
As we begin the holiday season we will send our own bodies/minds loving kindness through this Yin Yoga practice, and we will also meditate on sending this to our loved ones, our community, and our planet.
I’d love to practice with you! It’s been too long since we’ve all been together on the mat, where the magic happens.
If you have specific questions about this workshop you can contact me directly.
Namaste,
Lisa Marie, RYT, Reiki Master
