Can you imagine for a moment, unfurling to your full height, your full physical and energetic space, the full truth of your sacred being? Many of us have learned to be small for lots of reasons, including gender, religion, painful life experiences, and early training. Maybe we stayed small to stay safe, or maybe we were trained that we were too loud-too much-too big, or that our needs, voices and feelings didn’t matter. Now is the time to embody your full self and all its beauty so that every part of you can breathe and shine.

This will not be a workshop of ideas; it will be a time of practicing embodiment. Beginning with practices and movements that help fill up your inner experience of your body, we’ll expand with yoga and Qigong exercises that fill up space internally and around us physically, vocally, and energetically. The final stage of this workshop will include practices using wooden dowel rods to increase our sense of space beyond the reach of our arms. We’ll do exercises using sticks that will tone and strengthen our cores and then learn a simple enough movement repertoire that gives the felt experience of being bigger and more powerful than usual. We’ll end with a potent standing practice where you’ll feel both regal and majestic, alive and joyful in your inner and outer authority.

Each in-person attendee will receive a wooden dowel; if you are attending livestream, I’ll let you know what inexpensive wooden dowel to buy at your local hardware store. A recording will be available for 3 months.
