Exploring the Marriage of Yin Yoga and Kundalini: Embracing Possibilities and Trusting Yourself

Saturday June 14, 2025 4:00pm - 5:00pm EDT

This workshop will be in the style of Yin Yoga with some Kundalini Yoga elements as well. Yin and Kundalini yoga are two powerful practices that, when combined, create a holistic experience for those seeking emotional release, spiritual growth, and personal empowerment. This fusion not only helps individuals let go of grief and fear but also opens their hearts to new possibilities and cultivates self-trust. In this exploration, we will look at how the marriage of these two practices can lead to profound transformation. When Yin yoga and Kundalini practices merge, a powerful synthesis occurs. Yin yoga provides a solid foundation that allows for the deep introspection necessary to uncover emotional blockages. Once these issues surface, Kundalini practices can help to release and transform them. In this workshop we will work to allow what issues need to surface come up and then let them go. We will stay grounded in the knowledge that no matter the circumstances, there is always a part of you that remains stable and capable, waiting to be acknowledged. This workshop will guide you through recognizing, nurturing, and harnessing that inner strength, empowering you to stay grounded and trust yourself.

Meditative Mandalas Make-and-Take

Sunday June 15, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm EDT

Color yourself calm with some gentle movement, guided meditation, and coloring your very own mandala. Mandalas are mystical symbols, typically circular and geometric in form, and represent wholeness or unified energy. They have played a role in Eastern spiritual development for centuries, and are widely favored as meditational focal points because of their balancing and calming effects. The practice of coloring mandalas is a way not only to focus your mind and calm down your awareness, but also to open your heart. As kids, we were constantly doing things with our hands and colors. But as adults, most of us have stopped doing that. We've lost our creative outlet. Until now! Not only is coloring mandalas a fun and creative activity, but it has been shown to have therapeutic benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and promoting relaxation. This workshop is open to people of all skill levels, even if you think you're not an artist! We'll begin with some gentle breathwork and movement (no need to bring a yoga mat--we'll do this in our seats), then I'll walk you through a guided visualization to awaken your creative energy. I'll teach you about the meaning of mandalas and the symbolism behind the colors you choose to use, and you'll get to color a beautiful mandala and tap into your inner artist. Workshop limited to 20 participants, FCFS.
