Come join us for the "Awaken Your Soul Series"
I am so excited to be co-facilitating a Writing and Yoga Workshop with Confluence Cycle and Yoga owner Leanne Werneke next month in Cleveland Heights!
It was Leanne’s passion for two wheels that exposed her to the wonderful world of indoor cycling and then, yoga. She found the combination of the two activities to be a fantastic experience. The intensity of the riding is balanced with the introspection of the yoga. Both require intention, expect participation and result in bliss.
Being a certified indoor cycling instructor and 225-hour Yoga Alliance-certified yoga teacher allows Leanne to share her passion, joy and bliss with others. I couldn't be more honored that she has invited me to share alongside of her.
The workshop is one of three that make up the series. Sign up for one or all!
Here are the deets as posted on the Confluence website:
There is more to us than what meets the eye. Let’s discover our inner selves and unleash dormant essential qualities through a courage-creating and soul-awakening workshop series.
Each Awaken Your Soul session is designed to unleash essential qualities that lie within and awaken them with a fresh awareness allowing you to feel more connected with your own truths. We invite you to become more focused and clear in your dreams and desires and true to the one and only divine expression of you.
Let’s honor our experiences, tell our stories and move with energy and mindfulness while we sprinkle magic on the canvas of our life!
A notebook will be provided at the first workshop. While not required, bring it with you as you attend each subsequent session to journal your experiences.
INVESTMENT:
Each session is $25
Purchased as a three-part series: $60
Awaken Your Soul: Writing and Yoga with Kristina Ambrosia-Conn and Leanne Werneke
WHEN: Sunday, April 8, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Awaken yourself through story and movement. As part of this special writing workshop we explore how yoga and writing mirror one another, and the meaning-making that can result from the practice of both. Through a creative writing exercise we will honor the past, revel in our current realities, and manifest the dreams we have for our futures.
As we practice our yoga, we will focus on “I am _” and the power behind the stories that we weave.
Our aim is to overtake any negatives with positives and heart-opening asasnas.
Our activity will be followed by reflection on the creative process, and an invitation to share your work. No previous yoga or writing experience required.
Kristina Ambrosia-Conn is an incurable romantic who should never have hyphenated her name, but whose greatest love came out of that union. Quirky and self-punishing, she is a sympathy crier who dreams of possibility, avoids reality, and then wonders what possibly could have gone wrong. Part gypsy, part suburban ex-housewife, and total true-blue Pisces, Kristina is an exhaustive extrovert who talks (but should more often write) to process anything and everything. She suffers from lack of boundaries, but finds beauty in maelstrom. Visit her at roguerevel.
Awaken Your Soul: Vision Board Workshop with Linda Jayne and Leanne Werneke
WHEN: Sunday, April 29, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
We long to make sense of our story - our life as it has been - our future as it will be. This vision board workshop will help you unlock hidden strengths, feelings, gifts, and talents. Using images, words, guided meditation, and personal reflection, you will envision goals and intentions, gain a deeper understanding of your authentic self, and express feelings that until now have had no voice!
First we begin with pranayama and a short guided heart-based meditation to awaken ourselves to the messages from our inner self.
No art or yoga experience required.
Linda Jayne is an artist and certified Healing through Art facilitator. Though she has been creating art all her life, Linda began using the collage technique as a method to work through a difficult and painful time. Using this process she found healing, and something much more important, her soul voice. Linda’s life was so changed she developed her own unique way of using collage for self-discovery and founded Art & Soul Mentor to teach others to tap into their authentic self and connect with their own personal soul voice.
Awaken Your Soul: Qoya with Cassandra Tyra Rose WHEN: Sunday, May 20, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
"Qoya means Queen in Quechuan, which translates as “a female manifestation of higher consciousness.” In other words - you! Based on the idea that through movement we remember, we find our wise, wild and free essence:
the wisdom of yoga
the creative expression in dance
expanding our capacity to enjoy our bodies through sensual movement
In this class, we’ll experience 13 core components expressing a unique theme for the day that supports the embodiment of our feminine essence. We will engage in ritual, pilgrimage, and community connections to open hearts, minds, and spirit.
Slow down and feel. Sweat. Play and have fun!
Cassandra Tyra Rose is on a mission to awaken women to their soul and remember their essence. She is a fierce and devoted mother to two littles, an Aromatherapy obsessor and guru, and a committed transformational healer. Cassandra leads women through potent Qoya classes, leaving them transformed and renewed in the end. She is certified in many different energy medicine and healing modalities, and also leads powerful Aroma Yoga and vinyasa flows.
Namaste.
