Yoga for Foot Health

The foot is our foundation, yet how often do we ignore this part of the body unless problems arise. This workshop is designed to get talking, learning and thinking about the foot so we can bring strategies for foot health to our clients.

Yoga for Vulnerable Groups—Yoga spaces can often be mostly white, mostly middle class spaces. However, yoga can benefit diverse groups. By bringing mindfulness to our teaching we can make our classes more accessible and welcoming to groups who may not have had the opportunity to practice yoga.

In this workshop we look at populations including domestic abuse survivors, LGBTQIA2S+, immigrants & refugees, and at risk youth that might not have access to a yoga practice.

In this workshop we look at how to set up our classes to be accommodate different needs and abilities. We explore how we can support yoga practices outside of traditional spaces.

We will also explore strategies we can bring yoga to more people, while keeping this work sustainable for us.

Yoga and Embodiment—Embodiment practices help us to be in our body. There is a saying that our body is more than a brain taxi. Yet, how often can we get wrapped up in our thoughts—past and future.

In this workshop we work with the body to gain a deeper understanding of the burgeoning field of embodiment. We explore how yoga fits into the world of embodiment.

We will look at the differences between mindfulness and embodiment.

Through some fun experiments we will play and explore our own embodiment

Throughout the workshop you will be introduced to several quick tips and takeaways that you can immediately incorporate into your days to be more embodied.
