Refreshments and art supplies will be provided. We will be in my studio space for the art-making portion so space is very limited as there are only six spots total. </p><p>what makes me especially excited about this series of workshops is my passion for combining two practices i love, yoga + creative expression. after almost nine years of teaching yoga, i still LOVE it! i love sharing the practice with folks as a means to helping them heal themselves. and what you may not know about me is that i&#8217;ve been a teacher of many subjects for different ages for much of my adult life, including art. </p><p>most importantly, i am very excited and passionate about helping folks find joy by sharing tools for tapping into their innate power and creativity! </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

are so many methods of working with these major energy centers in sustainable ways. each workshop will focus on one of the seven main chakras. </p><p>on March 23rd, we will delve into exploration of the root chakra. we&#8217;ll practice asana (the physical practice of yoga), breath work (pranayama), eat, learn about how to work with chakra energy, and make root chakra art together. our asana practice will take place in <a href="https://www.ourspaceclt.com/">Our Space</a>, a Black-owned studio &amp; event space located on the lower level of the VAPA Center. then we&#8217;ll head down the hall and around the bend to my studio space, which is located on the same floor. there, you&#8217;ll enjoy refreshments while learning about the root chakra before getting into some creative play and art-making. </p><p>please note that all experience/knowledge levels of yoga and art are welcome. so yes, it&#8217;ll be beginner friendly. and no, you don&#8217;t have to be an artist to join. just come :-) i got you.</p><div><hr></div><p>i published the workshop on Eventbrite yesterday however, i haven&#8217;t officially announced it on social media yet. i wanted to give you a chance to sign up
