RISE! a live online Yoga and Writing Retreat
Experience Freedom and Transformation
12pm CST on Friday, February 19 to 12pm on Sunday, February 21
During this restorative and empowering retreat, come back to your true self on the mat and the page. We’ll combine yoga, breath, meditation, and writing prompts to explore and access our pain stories in order to live our most authentic and fulfilled life. 

This Yoga and Writing Retreat is about listening to your body and using your voice. We tend to the pain story or emotion to free our mind, body, and soul. 
During this retreat you will:

• move, breathe, and write to access and address parts of your inner Self
• learn radical acceptance and self-compassion
• eliminate guilt, shame, and fear as they relate to your past and pain stories
• learn to trust your inner teacher through yoga
• increase resilience and calm the Central Nervous System with breath
• increase your body’s balance and flow
• use writing and sharing circles to rewrite core beliefs and heal from trauma
• use meditation to heal the brain and free stuck energy
• cultivate a better understanding of your authentic Self
