Experiences with Lily
Yoga & Herbs for Grounding
A three hour long workshop centered around grounding and centering. The workshop will begin with an hour long yoga flow to bring our bodies, minds, and spirits back into presence of the here and now. After the physical practice of yoga, we will have a short break then transition into an herbal workshop where we will be introduced to three plant allies to aid in keeping you grounded and centered. Everyone will leave with a grounding tea blend and practices to keep in their toolkit to help center them in today’s tumultuous world.
