Moving From Within: A dance class series for Everyone! With MonickaSaturday June 6, August 8, and Sept. 12 from 3-5pm $15 |
An experiential journey into the depths of your creative moving self. Turn your attention to the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit, and begin to open the doors of your expressive souls by utilizing such inspirational tools as sequencing, improvisation, composition, asana, writing, drawing, sound, contact, etc. This is a class for anyone!
Co-taught by Street Yoga Founder and hometown hero Mark Lilly, with Lisa Mae and Diana, this workshop is for adults who are enduring any of the effects of any form of trauma, whether recent or old, psychic or physical, spiritual or emotional. Maybe it manifests as body pain, chronic low-energy or some other unhealthy fallout from past severe experiences; this workshop can help. By cultivating a loving stillness, we can learn to listen to our body, and find the places where we hold the pain and loss of trauma. Using yoga, guided meditation, and chanting, we will learn more about the patterns of old traumas still affecting us, and the ways in which we hold on to pain. Join us as we learn to shake ourselves loose from the tyranny of old pains and step with love into our beautiful live

Workshop/Class Cancellation Policy
Dearest yogi family,
We regret that we need to have one of these kinds of policies, but alas, it has become necessary. So here goes.
If you are registered for any workshop or special class and paid in full (which you will now need to be in order to be considered registered, anyway), we will happily issue you a refund of your payment. Check it out:
- If you cancel 2 weeks or more before the event, we will happily give you a 100% refund.
- If it is less than 2 weeks from the date of the workshop, we will happily give you a 100% refund if we are able to fill your spot.
- If it is less than 2 weeks from the date of the workshop, and we are not able to fill your spot in the class, we will give you a refund of 75% of the cost of the workshop or class.
As you know, many of our classes fill up and then get a waiting list, so the likelihood that we will fill the space is pretty high. But that might mean that we have to wait until after the workshop or class happens to find out if we can fill the space and get you a refund!
