The Peaceful Warrior
Yoga for Peace, Empowerment, and Racial Equality
Saturday, June 20, 2020
Gather with me to nourish yourself as we process the impact of racial inequality and injustice. During this time your yoga is even more important to discover peace. In this special class, Alie will guide you to be grounded and enlightened, awakened and relaxed, and centered and spacious. Be at home in your heart, and strong in your spirit. Through connecting with yourself and with deep relaxation watch your clarity increase and feel inspired into action. Together we will be supported to be useful in our own unique way. Let’s find our way together so that we can be a part of the solution of racial equality. Alie will provide resources for you to explore that will include, suggested reading and viewing, and organizations to support or send donations. All proceeds for classes will be donated to NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
9:30 - 11:30 am CST
Hips, Shoulders, and Twists!
This special class is specifically designed for those who wish to honor, open, and strengthen the hips and shoulders, and then skillfully twist to wring out tension. Join Alie and discover the freedom and empowerment that comes with conscious connection with the ground, your center, and relaxation. When you release tension and tightness you will enjoy an increase in flexibility, strength, and energy. Discover the inner fluidity within you, and within your spine with this refreshing and revitalizing workshop. Together we will bring awareness, tenderness, and an active curiosity to the gross and subtle aspects of our yoga practice. Be ready for spontaneous joy and increased luminosity. Alie will teach variations and modifications for the postures.
11:45 am - 12:45 pm
Group Lunch

Restorative + Gentle Yoga with Breath Work, Deep Relaxation, and Meditation

It is absolutely wonderful to use breathing exercises to experience ease within the mind and body. It is Alie’s intention to offer you the space to feel relaxed and at ease within yourself. Use this practice to enjoy the feeling of who you truly are, and experience your natural state of peace.
