Yoga Beyond Poses: Creativity, Movement, and Reflection

This workshop is to create a consistent space for those who need community connection, tools to create a personal mindful practice, or need space to stay accountable in their mindful practice. You will continue to expect to see yoga and breathing exercises combined with creative practices (journaling, visual art, music, etc) each month.

Creative practices often help make yoga and meditation more accessible for different types of people!

In each 75-minute session, you’ll be guided through an expressive arts-infused yoga experience—blending breathwork, gentle movement, and reflective journaling in a welcoming, trauma-informed environment.

These workshops are ideal for anyone seeking:

• A more personal and creative approach to yoga
• A safe space for body-mind connection
• A grounding and restorative monthly reset

No prior yoga or art experience is necessary. All bodies and identities are welcome.
