Rescheduled for later in August- Yoga Informational Sessions: Q&A with Alisa Benson
July 26, 2022 at 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm CDT
Rescheduled for later in August to Join us for a Q&A session with Alisa to talk about yoga and her virtual yoga classes.
Q&A description
Maybe you’ve said one version or another of this to yourself in the past. I can’t do yoga because…
I’m not flexible
I don’t have the right body or the right clothes
I’m out of shape
I’ll do it wrong
“If you can breathe, you can do yoga.”
This is something Alisa, our incredible yoga instructor often says to yoga-wary people. There is a common perception that yoga requires a particular body shape, flexibility, or special clothing. One of the aspects of teaching that she enjoys most is dispelling the myth that yoga is for “bendy people.”
Her teaching is rooted in the belief that yoga is for EveryBody. It is not about how you look, but rather, what you feel. Yoga is a practice of quieting the mind so we can feel less scattered and more grounded in life off the mat. Her classes emphasize stability, and intentional movement that is linked to the breath.
Alisa’s goal as a teacher is to create a space that is welcoming, safe, fun, and supportive as students explore their practice. The community that is built through the regular practice of yoga is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. Through our connection to self we are better able to connect to one another and the world around us.
In these sessions, we encourage questions for those who haven’t been to class and are curious to learn more, as well as comments from those who have about their experience thus far as we move into more virtual yoga classes later in the summer. We’ll also talk more about what yoga should be; a space to be present with yourself and your classmates, a space to cultivate the reminder that we can only control what we can control, a space to uplift, support, relax, and restore, but most importantly, whatever you need it to be for yourself in the moment.
Come join us! We’ll be offering different times each week so don’t worry if a block of time doesn’t work for you. As always, feel free to reach out if you have questions. See you in a meeting soon 🙂
