***This workshop counts as 3 hours towards the Laughing River Yoga 300hr Teacher Training Program.

​

In this 3 hour workshop, we will explore how building strength on our yoga mats prepares us to navigate life’s challenges and celebrations off the mat. Yoga ultimately teaches the principles of pliability to receive life: whatever comes our way, shifts and changes, up and down. We grow that capacity on the mat so we can live that capacity off the mat. 

 

 

 

We spend much of our time trying to live into our expectations, manage the world so they meet our expectations or assumptions, however life sometimes meets those desires & expectations and sometimes not. The teachings and practices of yoga are about creating this ability to be soft in the palms, be soft in what we grasp onto, and in that softness we are able to receive what is coming our way. And if it was not what we were expecting, we can learn to still open our palms to that arriving. 

 

 

In this workshop you will:

- Be led through a strong vinyasa asana, while practicing softening into what’s present. 

- Discuss aspects of yogic philosophy that we can apply off the mat and in our lives

- Learn tools to manage the highs and lows of life with grace  

- Have a safe space for self-reflection & sharing

This workshop will be held in-person at the Chace Mill.
