Yoga for Chronic Stress and Tension - Wednesday Workshop Series

Wednesdays, April 2, 16, 30 and May 14

Location: The Yoga Tree, 4250 Fremont Ave. N

Registration: $115 for the series; https://www.yogatree.com/workshopsretreats.html

Is your body tight with knots? Does life leave you feeling constricted? Or the weight of stress cause you to feel exhausted? Are your neck, mid-back and hips routinely stiff and achey?

Release stress, release tension and ignite vitality with the play of yoga, also known as, lila.
Or as George Bernard Shaw put it, “You don’t stop playing because you get old. You get old because you stop playing.”

We can feel old when life feels hard and our being: connective tissue, immune, circulatory, cardiovascular, cognitive and nervous systems aren’t well due to chronic stress and tension.

In this lila (play of yoga) series, you’ll:

  • Use non-linear and dynamic movements to boost fascia fluidity and lymphatic drainage

  • Experiment with sound and vibration to unlock physical gripping and mental holding

  • Tap into imagination and visualization to build resiliency in body, mind and spirit connections to alleviate suffering


Learn new and small practices to regularly spark your systems with aliveness and your wellbeing with lila, the play of yoga, and live daily life with more ease!

There is no previous yoga experience necessary. You are enough. Showing up is enough. All practices are an invitation, nothing is required and you can participate as you choose. There are props and adaptations available, always. This is a therapeutic series with a short intake to complete and return prior to the first session. There will be a brief check-in at each session.
