WORKSHOPS
Women’s Circle- Transforming Guilt and Shame
Saturday, November 17th | 12-2 pm | $35
Sold Out: Please email lucia@yessyogastudio.com to join the waitlist.
Women’s circle is back for its 5th year! We keep diving a little deeper each year, and this year is no exception: We want to talk with you about guilt and shame.
What does it feel like in your body when you’re making choices out of guilt or shame? What can we learn from those voices and what can we discard? The upcoming holiday season often illuminates and intensifies patterns of guilt and shame, thanks to cultural, familiar, and religious beliefs. So what better time to commune with other women to talk about how we can identify and transform these feelings to create more freedom, integrity, and empowerment in how we relate to ourselves and others.
Led by Lucia Yess and Anna Befort, this women’s circle will explore guilt, shame, and resilience through discussion, flowing movement, writing, yin and restorative poses, and more.
Create Your Chakras
Sunday, November 18th | 10 am – 1:30 pm | $60
Join us for a deep and playful art-based inquiry practice that explores the energy body. In this workshop we’ll explore our 7 main energy centers through discussion, yoga, meditation, & painting.
–
We will begin with a short introduction to the chakras. We will then move into an experiential practice (including asana, meditation, visualization, and essential oils) that balances and nourishes each of the chakras. Time for artistic expression will be folded in between each chakra. We will end with time to share and process.
–
This workshop is good for both experienced artists and complete novices. We use art as a method of self-study. It is a vehicle for your process, a way to take what was experienced on the inside and bring it into the world for reflection, contemplation and understanding. Our emphasis with painting is not to depict accurate and aesthetic scenes or images. One need not to consider themself an artist to have a meaningful experience in this workshop (though be prepared to learn that we are all artists!).
–
All supplies are included in the cost of the workshop. A variety of canvasses will be included for you to choose from. Take your painting home with you after the workshop. Leave feeling free, inspired, and more ‘you.’
Body Love: Cultivating Joy
Saturday, December 1st | 6:30-8:30 pm | $35
Cultivating Joy ~ a heart centered practice. This month we will focus on the heart chakra and turning inward.We will use supported yin postures for our physical practice, which allow us to slow down and find stillness in this season of busy-ness. We will also share time in conversation, meditation and journaling.
Knitting while Yogi
Saturday, December 8th | 1 pm – 4pm | $30
If you see me at Yess Yoga, I probably have some knitting on my lap, it’s one of my favorite pre-class pastimes. They go together so well, because they really are so similar! There is the breath that flows in and out to create change in myself. I knit and purl to create something from the yarn. Inhale-Exhale, Knit-Purl!
–

During our three hour session we will discuss the basics of reading a pattern, casting on, stitch technique, and casting off. All levels are welcome, beginners who want to learn to experienced knitter who want a dedicated time to work their magic.
Materials Needed
1 set of knitting needles (any size or style – my favorite style is bamboo needles)
1 skein of yarn
1 pattern/project (optional)
Womxn’s Moon Medicine: Moon in Aries
Saturday, December 15th | 7-9 pm | $35
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents the raw, primal fire of life force energy. With Aries as our teacher, we learn that we have the right to stand up for our own wants and needs. Autonomy, boundaries, assertiveness, the heat of our own passions and desires: this is the path of Aries. Building courage is the evolutionary aim. By facing our fears, taking risks, adventuring beyond the edges of our comfort zones, we embody high Aries energy and feel the fire of strength and courage intensifying in our bones.
To embody this Aries Moon energy, we will experiment with freestyle movement to music to awaken and explore our own instinctual, primal natures. There will also be drums/sound makers to engage with during the movement if you wish. Please wear comfortable clothing in which you can move easily. After the embodiment, we will circle for a time of ritual and sharing. Moon Medicine is led by Evolutionary Astrologer, Jessa Walters.A few days before the event, Jessa will send an email to all who have registered with more info.
