Yoga teaches us that we are each born whole, complete, and perfect!! Due to our many life experiences we tend to forget this state of wholeness, we forget who we truly are, and we get lost in our physical, mental, and emotional reactions to life. It is important for us to remember that the human nervous system simply cannot evolve at the rapid pace that society and technology has. Hopefully through what you learn in this workshop you can begin to extend yourself a bit more grace during natural moments of challenge and upset.
During this experiential workshop we will utilize a holistic and traditional approach. Working with breath-work techniques alongside intuitive Yin, Yoga Nidra, and shaking meditation to reset the nervous system back to a state of ease and relaxation.
My hope is that through this workshop you’ll acquire a wide array of simple yet profound tools that you can skillfully use as you learn to access your current state of being and what your needs truly are.

Think outside the studio and enjoy the quiet of the Park after the gates have closed with this yoga practice for all levels of expertise. The mountains are said to be a natural vortex of spiritual energy, which makes Chimney Rock an ideal setting for connecting your spirit with nature at this outdoor class overlooking Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure.

Connecting the two wonderful & beneficial practices together. We will begin by dropping into the breath and creating space within the body through gentle movements, and then finding stillness with long held Yin postures. Options, modifications, and encouragement for prop usage throughout. Within our second hour together; coming into the relaxation of Restorative Yoga, feeling held and supported by an abundance of props and perhaps the wall too. Printed handout of sequence included.
As the Late Summer season begins, we look to find the pause between the expansive Summer and the turning inward of Fall. Looking for cooling and calming poses to soothe and center us. Allowing the thinking mind to let go and the physical body to simply feel. This workshop will offer options to restore the body & the nervous system. Printed handout of sequence included.

Date & Location: August 14th, 2022, in Marshall, NC, 1-5 pm. Organic Growers School offers this series of forest farm tours and workshops in partnership with the Appalachian Beginning Forest Farmer Coalition (ABFFC). ABFFC is dedicated to increasing opportunities for farmers and forestland owners in Appalachia and beyond. Join the ABFFC coalition to become part of the movement! For more information, please visit the ABFFC homepage for the event.
