Join for an all levels vinyasa workshop on Zoom with the opportunity to use yoga as a tool to empower change !

Use the power of yoga to address anxieties and challenges in your life.  In this vinyasa yoga class, you'll go beyond the traditional yoga experience to focus the resulting energy and power into solving a particular problem in your life.  Through the experience of peer counseling and accountability, you will both give and receive help with a personal challenge.

Challenges can range from facing mortality, loss of love, or health problems.   They could be professional, personal, or global.  What challenges are you facing regularly?  What obstacles are you looking to overcome in your life? Whatever your challenges, you don't need to face them alone!

What to Expect

Arrive on time as we will begin with a short introduction of everyone in the class.  You will be asked to share your name, your location, and the energy you feel coming into the class.

Jason Sears will lead a 10 minute grounding meditation to focus energy on the problem you would like to solve. We will then be led through a 50-minute vinyasa yoga class by Ashlie Emert.

Following the activity, you will be randomly paired with another class participant.  We will first review the best practices for peer counseling, which include an acknowledgement of emotions, active listening, and questioning.  A peer counselor is not expected to directly help you, but rather will act as a sounding board so you are better able to help yourself.

During two 10 minute sessions, you will each share a challenge you are facing in your life.  You are invited to collaborate on a way that your power and positive energy can be directed into action around this problem.  Leaving the class, you will be asked to follow up with your partner in one week to encourage each other to address problems and maintain a healthy. balanced perspective.

How to Prepare
Come ready for yoga with proper attire and a mat.  You will need a device to join the Zoom meeting with, be in a quite private space for a conversation. We invite you to also bring some thoughts on challenges you are facing in your life.  You will be encouraged to focus on one challenge to share with an accountability partner.  See you at the workshop! We can’t wait!
