$35.00 Enhance the Benefits of your Yoga Practice with Art Therapy

Discover the powerful synergy between art and yoga with this beginner-friendly workshop. Yoga is a powerful practice that helps us take care of our body, mind, and spirit. Stephanie would like to show you how you can use art therapy to further embrace the benefits of yoga while learning techniques for holding space for the tender moments that inevitably surface when you’re on the mat.

Art therapy is a form of communication that can help you process your experiences with more compassion and ease. Explore how creativity can amplify the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of yoga. You do not need to be an artist or have artistic ability to benefit from these practices. 

During the workshop, Stephanie will guide you through three unique art therapy practices that can be paired with yoga. Instead of a live yoga practice, Stephanie will use guided meditation to help you connect to various moments from prior experience that you will use as inspiration for the art therapy experiential.

What You'll Learn:

• Introduction to Art Therapy: Discover the basics of art therapy and how it can benefit your mental and emotional health.

• Simple Techniques: Learn a variety of easy-to-follow art therapy exercises that you can integrate into your daily routine.

• Stress Reduction: Explore how creative expression can help you manage stress and find relaxation.

• Self-Awareness: Use art to enhance your self-awareness and emotional expression.

• Practical Applications: Get tips on incorporating art therapy into your everyday life.

Workshop Highlights:

• Guided Session: Participate in guided art therapy exercises led by Stephanie, an experienced practitioner who has benefited personally from the power yoga and  art therapy.

• Interactive Environment: Engage in a supportive and encouraging environment where you can share and learn from others.

• Take-Home Materials: After the workshop, you'll receive templates to continue your art therapy journey at home.

Benefits:

• Enhanced self-awareness and emotional well-being.

• Greater mind-body connection and balance.

• Increased creativity and self-expression.

• Deeper insights into your yoga practice and personal growth.

Materials Needed:

• Yoga mat and comfortable clothing.

• Journal or sketchbook for reflections and notes. Ideally the paper will be blank and unlined, so that you can use the journal for your artwork.

• Optional: Basic art supplies (pen, colored pencils, markers, oil pastels). Please no paint or chalk art supplies as we will be creating on the floor. Stephanie will have art supplies to share if you do not bring your own.

Who Should Attend: This workshop is ideal for yoga enthusiasts, art lovers, and anyone interested in exploring the synergy between creativity and physical practice. No prior art or yoga experience is necessary.

Join us for a unique and enriching experience where creativity and movement unite to enhance your yoga practice and elevate your well-being.
