Coming Home to You
Discovering Peace within Yourself
Friday, May 3, 6–8 pm
Join Alie for this special evening of self-care. Using yoga, essential breath work, and meditation, she will guide you through a gentle practice that includes breathing techniques, precise alignment details, and subtle cuing, all of which will invite you to connect more deeply with your innermost self. Utilizing the calming benefits of restorative yoga and profound release, this asana practice is designed to draw you effortlessly into a state of relaxation, offering you the opportunity to experience greater clarity and a natural sense of peace.
Yoga for Everyone
Accessing Your Inner Guidance
Saturday, May 4, 10 am–12 noon
Yoga, in its essence, is an invitation to be effortlessly present with oneself. The practice encompasses curiosity, self-trust, kindness, compassion, self-love, and patience. Alie’s classes are progressive, so they begin gently, with each posture building on the preceding pose so that our bodies may feel safe, grounded, and expansive. One of her major goals in class is to offer an abundance of options and choices so that everyone can decide what poses are most appropriate for them and their own bodies in the moment. When we take our time, we can sense what movements, shapes, and poses feel good and what movements, shapes, and poses don’t feel so good. It is through this communion with our Selves that we learn to trust and then actively practice that trusting. When we take our time, we may gratefully accept yoga’s invitation to be present in the moment with whatever arises.
In this special class Alie will share ways for you to trust yourself, listen to your inner voice, and be open and receptive to hearing its guidance. Together, she and the class attendees will enjoy an asana practice for everyone that also brings in breathing techniques and meditation. Enjoy freedom in your body and mind, and learn ways to access your inner voice and your inner guidance. Discover that you are your own closest connection with the experience of Yoga.
To conclude the weekend on Sunday, May 5, join me at Chi Yoga Shack for "Ayurveda: The Art and Science of Living." You can consider this the third part of the Spring Wellness Retreat, or simply attend as a stand-alone class.
